Dear Mr. MMM,
I am very glad I could have been of service! It was very clear that you accidentally booked for the wrong date and for this reason we have decided to refund the paid amount.
Mr. MMM, I wish you a very nice weekend and I do hope we can welcome you again in one of our hotels in the near future.
Yours sincerely,

Originally posted by TonyEnglish View PostDid my first jaunt on Monday. Got up at 4 and out, hoping to sleep on the train. Unfortunately the motion of the train meant that as I leant against the window I was sat there gently banging my head - so no sleep. That was made worse due to the fact that I had woken up at 3 and couldn't get back to sleep! That was a long day!
The cat making a racket to get in after 9 disrupted my plans for an early kip the first couple of weeks. The strategy I developed was to kick cat out early Sunday morning and not let it in for the whole day. It would then want to come in before I went to bed

Anybody want a ticket for the 18:00 for Euston on Friday of next week or the 5.05 on the monday after?

I assume you didn't call the lovely lady at head office a "fooking koont" during the conversation that led to this happy state of affairs

It is however impossible to do harm to nobody, as there is nobody to do harm to, thus your statement is correct. I find this almost impossibly annoying.

You signed up to a special rate with attached conditions.
Wot you whinging for?Originally posted by fullyautomatix View PostHe is whinging that a business is trying to enforce their T & C on him.Originally posted by sasguru View PostSeems an excitable, "goes off half-cocked" sort of chappie to me.
Obviously I cocked up by making a mistake, but clicking confirm then ringing straight away and explaining the situation, you would have thought taking £350 and seriously ******* off your customers is a bit off!
