facking great idea,ill send them a email and picture of the kids crying with there suitcases nxt to them!!! haha

[reddevil157]

now you have it, pour it on as thick as possible

[barrowmanandrew]

seriously,
don't let it go...
hound the daily mail and caravan park,
always ask to speak to a manager and ask for the names and employee details of who ever you are dealing with...

tell them you have all ready spent money on transport etc and you cannot cancel.

threaten them with exposing your kids dissapointment by going to the newspapers etc....

evan tell them you will start a facebook page with all the details of their behaviour etc......

you never know, got nothing to loose.....

ps
i was on one of those holidays last week (daily mail tokens), it was fantastic,
gutted for ya, but dont let it drop......

I'm sorry for you nicole. Give them HELL.

They only do these so called promotions to boost paper sales and as we all know they spread it over a period of time, they can by paper sales estimate how many people are going to apply, but as usual they don't give a toss, it's all money to them,but you can take it further through people like the ombusman who are independent and will fight for your case, even though they will be some kind of disclaimer in the small print. Don't give up it's all re-claimable even the phone calls, they will try at first try to fob you off but tell them you are seeking legal advice and are reporting them to the ombusman for misconduct, they will offer you something....good luck

@ nicole thats shit - id defo complain.

id ask what alternative the hol place can offer etc.


friends of mine were going to a holiday place in scotland. one got a phone call saying the dinner dance on the sat night was cancelled due to small numbers. she replied by saying "thats strange as there is 36 of us booked for it!"

[nicole123]

thanks all for your advice,i rang them back today and said i want a week in july when the kids break up and the woman said the offer was not for peak season,after a lot of humming she said because it was not my fault ill book you inn, its the last 1 that week so i can imagine its gonig to be the scabiest accomadation on site.the kids have said its fine and the mrs has been in hospital since last week so i think its worked out better
