British Tourists Complaints

The Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) has
published some of the more bizarre complaints it has
received from Britons holidaying abroad:

'No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled.'

'We had to queue outside with no air conditioning.'

'It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or
unruly guests before we travel.'

'I was bitten by a mosquito; no-one said they could bite.'

'We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring
our swimming costumes and towels.'

'We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure shows the
sand as yellow but it was white.'

'It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the
Americans three hours to get home.'

'My fiance and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a
double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact
that I find myself pregnant. This would not have happened if
you had put us in the room that we booked.'

'I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends'
three-bed room apartment and ours was significantly
smaller.'

'The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the
accommodation'. We're trainee hairdressers will we be OK
staying here?'

And finally, from a holidaymaker in Spain:
'There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks
Spanish. The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners.'
