  • OK..... Enough is enough..... I cannot take another blog like that. :p

    Martin is not short of a bob or two now, so it's about time he employed someone to proof read his blogs in an effort to make them a little more coherent. :)

    "After a Tonight"? A random capital T for tonight? No capital b for Beelzebub? Spurious hyphens? Randomly placed inverted commas? I'm no Wordsworth, but poorly presented text detracts greatly from the content. Time to put your hand in your pocket Martin. :p

    Travel agents have never been particularly fond of me. In fact many seem to think I have the horns of beelzebub after a Tonight where I showed people how to haggle down the price.

    Which is why I found this bit taken from last weeks ‘Travel Trades Gazette’ - the travel industry magazine - particularly amusing…

    I like to keep abreast of the latest techniques used against us, so I can counter in a way that is “outside their script”.

    I'd definately give Colchester Travel a miss. That's the kind of remark I'd expect from a "con man" referring to his "mark". Not a professional Travel Agent!:mad:
