    My apologies, I seem to have forgotten that people who say they're sorry on the internet are always genuine and sincere, especially when followed by comments which indicate the exact opposite is true. The same can be said for expressions of gratitude.

    Which reminds me, thank you for your valid and useful contribution to the OP's problem ;)

    I apologised and asked a question as I assumed the OP had PM'd you this information.

    It's not my fault that it turned out you had just guessed! If you are guessing information you should really make this clear in your posts as otherwise it makes your advice dangerous.

    Tbh there was no guessing on my part - it didn't even factor in for one simple reason. The law (at least in this instance) is the same all over Britain. I generally don't post advice without researching first.

    One of the links I posted also explained why these types of event are different and the exception to the normal rule - its because they're irremediable. You can't remedy a breach to a wedding or holiday contract by providing the service on another day etc.

    I am genuinely (really - no facetiousness) sorry if you took it personally and had it been just an everyday consumer contract I would have agreed with your post. But like I said initially, these types of contract are the exception to the normal rule.

    There's a few things like coffee for liverish problems. BTW it smacks of an overinflated ego when someone thanks on someone else's behalf ie; a superiority complex.

    While I do have my issues (everyone does). A superiority complex isn't one of them.

    Someone with a superiority complex isn't interested in helping other peope and are only looking to serve their own interests & goals (therefore you're unlikely to find them thanking you on behalf of someone else). You can usually spot them as the individual imparting nothing useful to the situation. Sound familiar?

    However one of my personality flaws is mirroring. If you act unreasonable towards me, you'll find the same attitude directed back at you. If you're reasonable with me then (again) you'll find the exact same directed back at you. ;)

    And btw, coffee is disgusting stuff.
