Wow you have a lot of anger there:mad: most on here don't have holidays as many are poor, BR, and broke.... Now breath in though the nose and out though the mouth..:rotfl:

trust me there is no anger
it is just an irritation at peoples double standards.
the fact it is ok for people to rip of the readers of ' The Advertiser' or whichever local news paper it was in, but may you burn in hell if u rip off from the holy members of the mighty MSE
the comments like, people on here are poor and cant afford a holiday.
sorry, that aint good enough.
the fact that the majority you are sat in your own house in front of a computer/laptop with an internet connection, reading this shows you are far from poverty.

this time i havent tried to get a holiday, but i went on 2 last year both at prestatyn.

there may well be dodgy goings on surounding the ebay selling but i bet there are more than one person that could do with the money rather than the time away from home.

another example is the mention that it is ok to sell a prize when there is only 1 to win as in festival tickets.

i cant be the only person with this view

no, we are off to Southport, couldnt get Prestatyn as it was full, but not to worry its not too far any way and will make a nice change.

can i just add a little.
you are going on about the people who are sellin these on on e-bay and a little bit of me kind of aggrees with you.

but another little bit just thinks thats life and there is nothing we can do about it. today we complain about a free holiday by wednesday we will have forgot about it and be on to something else.

And whats more there are a lot of people on here complaining they or their aunty or there sister best friend didnt win one and there are all these on e-bay. what about all the people who saw this advertised in their local paper went to bed and tried to book it the next day. they actually paid for the paper in the hope of getting a free holiday, it was aimed at them. i bet 95% of the people that have these holidays havent even been to the towns where these publications are.

and for people wanting to put in false bids, remember, is you go to a house auction and bid £1 million over market value just for a laugh when the hammer falls you will be responsable for the closing bid and it may well be you that ends up in trouble.

just one more thing for you to think about.
you are still allowed to play the lottery if you are a millionair, or winn and waste it all on drugs and win again.

so why on earth are the police going to get invoved in this. and if they do what will they put on your criminal record.

???????????

well well well what has the lottery got to do with free holiday to pontins. the point is that the people who cannot afford holidays this is a small break for them and it was pontins that said the police MIGHT get involved not me.

I booked one last year at Prestatyn and offered it to friends who needed a break. Phoned to change it into their name and was no charge.

May depend on the op at the time.

A friend has 2 June at Southport, looking for a swop if anyone interested for Prestatyn please.
