The Perfect Guest!
The Perfect Guest!
Received an email at 17:08 today: "Hi Kathy, I would like to book your property for the dates shown. Please could you advise how we go about paying the deposit? "
I replied at 17:54 with booking form etc.
At 18:39 I received this: "I've transferred £375 to the account specified. I have also completed the booking form and attached a scan of it. Would you also like me to send a copy in the post?"
All wrapped up in an hour and a half! God, I wish they were all like this!
Have already told him he's the perfect guest, hope he turns out to be so during his stay......

Too smooth by half, Kathy. 'Would you also like me to send a copy in the post?". Hah! A detail too far. I read about these guys all the time in Somerset Maugham short stories and there'e never a happy ending. Just be careful if he turns up dressed like the Man from Del Monte ...His eyes are like angels, his heart is cold
No need to ask. He's a smooth operator ...

Nope I beat that last nightGood grief Kathy, that's the world record I think!
Enquiry by phone call at 8:30 - booking and payment made by credit card during the call and on line booking form received 5 minutes later. It took me 5 more minutes to complete all the associated admin (entering the payment in the accounts, emailing cleaner, updating calendars etc), but it was defo my fastest booking completion ever!
But then there's always the ones who don't understand the concept of a final balance and the meaning of the words "payable by".....

Careful now...The man from Del Monte booked our place for a week a few years ago when he was appearing in Dad's Army on it's national tour. So I have a nice comment in my guest book from 'The Man from Del Monte)Just be careful if he turns up dressed like the Man from Del Monte ..
He was actually a nice mature actor by the name of Brian Jackson (I think it was)
I am sure it will all go according to plan Katie, but the only one I have ever had that completed within an hour of enquiry took with them two pillows and pillowcases, broke a shower, used soft wood on the barbecue which caused nasty smoke up the painted front, fiddled endlessly with the pool circulation system (denied all knowledge) plus a few other instances of lack of respect/carelessness. We also lost two bedspreads round about that time but the jury is out on whether it was them as they were not in use at the time.
Unfortunately we agreed to check them out (including returning deposit) the evening before departure as they wanted to leave in the middle of the night. Never again!

For true domestic harmony it is essential that dogs know their place, which is below all cats
