Anal Complaints 2015

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

Please be aware that the car park is for communal use by all residents in the property. Therefore you would need to agree that the bouncy castle would need to be made available for all the other residents of the property.
Your booking co-incides with the national Hammer House of Horror Society annual re-enactment conference who have booked the remainder of the apartments during your stay

Have just been entertaining OH with this thread (...really too funny!!) ...
A recent guest from a big city, who came for a walking holiday complained about the dust and dirt on the walking paths and the need for "real walking shoes"??? :roll:

This is for an apartment, 2 adults & 2 small children - I have not yet replied as I will have a sleep on it to consolidate my thoughts and come up with a suitable response.

Any comic suggestions would be appreciated and maybe used.

I've just thought of one:
"Sorry, Billy Smart's circus is using the car park that week"
Thank you for the ideas; unfortunately, I have my sensible hat on and replied this morning that she wouldn't be able to hire a bouncy castle and put it in the car park because it my get clamped for not having a parking permit. She actually replied "okay thank you I just thought I would ask anyway".

This thread has morphed slightly but here's another one. Recent guests originally submitted the booking form and completed the guests' names section as:
Mom
Dad
Auntie Mavis
Uncle Reg
Tom, Dick, Harry.

In the address section they just filled in the name of the road.

Dick being the lead name? I'm guessing at Head for the surname :lol:

Bunny - what did you say to them? I would have seen red and probably cancelled the reservation on the spot (Because we don't let to just any Tom, Dick or Harry :evil: ).

Great thread! Restores my faith in human stupidity.

Luckily we have had none for a couple of years year now.

I think they meant there are no streetlights in the middle of the Irish countryside.
LOVE IT! :D

"The roads are too winding" (we're in the Dordogne)

"It's too sunny"

"These yoghurts have fruit and too much sugar: we want natural, sugar-free" - and when these were supplied, they heaped lots of jam on top.

Another guest said "The knob on the slow cooker has melted." It transpired that his daughter had taken out the middle ceramic section, complete with lid and non-heat-resistant knob, added ingredients, and put it in the oven. "She's not very good with ovens".

Still, it's make one smile (not in front of the guests, though) . :D

"Yes, Monday & Friday - alternate weeks during the summer and every other week during the rest of the year, except at Easter & Bank holidays when they are the day before or the day after."

Sorry haven't quite grasped that. So are you saying it could be on any day of the week? :lol:

From guests who just left "Your fork is too heavy".

Me: "Oh sorry to hear that - which one exactly are you talking about"

"All of them. I dropped one and the plate smashed! I have never seen such heavy forks!"

Evidently, I have given them too good quality. Silver plated and yes, they are heavier than your average 'holiday cutlery' I suppose, but you are not supposed to drop them from a height onto china! (And if you do, you normally apologise, not blame the fork!)
