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

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.

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…

“Colchester Travel’s Paul Bennett takes a `know your enemy’ approach with his list as he reveals how he makes the most of consumer websites to get into the public’s mind.

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:
