glad to hear your news was good.Iuse a booking form ,but too let someone actually 2 people go through because of a false booking,don`t trust your local people we live and learn.i took a booking off a friend of a friend,didn`t give her a form to fill in,with details of no return of deposit if you cancel, at that time ,she just dropped the deposit off,rushed off to work.only then after 10 days decided she wasn`t going on holidays,in the meantime i turned down 2 bookings,she phoned for her money back.itook £25 off her but she wasn`t prepared to loose any more,she never filled a form,so i had no hold on her.

Rebel, that's bad luck - did you manage to book the slot again? Hope so.

Good news Ruth
We all learn from these things.I always said 'Just put all your contact details on your e mail and then I will send everything out.'Think I will bolt a pen and paper by the phone,to take all contact details.Has to be bolted down,these pens are magic,they mysteriously vanish.

Not Iberian at all. They go to search for lost socks.
