From the moment they step through the door your bookings become guests, and their experiences determine whether they ever come back.

Haven't they heard of a hat? :roll:

Scary thing is what if that base had pinned the child to the bottom of the pool when parents were not looking ....

[quote="CarolineH"] I charged them 50€ - but that was because they lied to me!

We treat parasols as an annual expense, they rarely last the season intact, so we buy cheap, and always have a spare :?

Oh dear, mine have lasted 9 seasons. They hardly get used. It's so long since I last saw them up that I can't even remember what colour they are. I suppose I should open them to degunk them of all the spiders and earwigs before anyone gets a shock!

My better half and I were having a Parasol conversation just the other day as previous guests left feedback stating they felt we were missing one. Having seen this thread i think we'll likely hold of getting one!
