Whilst I was searching for holiday prices i realised they were genrally £150 cheaper on the web, and that gave me an idea.
After getting a quote on-line I went to one of the high street travel agents that say they will beat any quote, I asked tham to give me a quote for the exact same holiday, when the quote comes back tell them that you have a cheaper quote from a rivel company (they will ask who from so just give the name of another local travel agent) they will then speak to head office or manager and give you a quote about £50-£100 cheaper, which can then be used as currency for the bar in sunny climates.
I have used this method twice now and am just about to do it again, you don't need to take any proof in of you quote, just make sure you do get one online and dont just make one up, it should be sensable prices.

Work like you don't need money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
And dance like no one's watching
Save the cheerleader, save the world!
