Jo Taylor Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 [quote user="Cassis"][quote user="Jo Taylor"]I had to edit our visitors' book. One lady wrote "Nice weather, depressing area.".Well, no, madam, it's not, unless you come on holiday with a husband and son who spend the whole time dragging you off to D-Day sites and cemeteries when you'd rather be on the beach! The note I added was, of course, a little more diplomatic.[/quote]So what did you do - cross out "area" and insert "company"?[:)][/quote]Naughty sausage. No, I just added a little footnote to the effect that perhaps this lady hadn't appreciated her male relatives' enthusiasm for WW2 museums and cemeteries. They (or rather she, the chaps seemed quite nice!) were the guests from [6] anyway - she wrote a letter of complaint when they went home:"The cooker was broken" - nope, you broke it by forcing the door the wrong way and breaking it into little pieces, for which your husband apologised and we didn't charge (more's the pity)."The windows were too small" - nope, they're quite appropriate for a 300-year-old cottage, which is what you saw described, booked and paid for."There was no shower curtain" - yep, you're quite correct, the reason for that could possibly be because there is no shower.(Have just realised this is the B&B section not gite!)

Cassis Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ah well, Jo, I presume that was last year - doubtless there is more of the same to come this year. Always something to look forward to! [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Taylor Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 No, it was over four years ago, thankfully we have very, very few like that and they remain indelibly marked upon my memory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
