    Thomas Cook survey

    This was supposedly sent from Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some of the guests'
    complaints during the season.

    (Survey by Thos Cook and ABTA)

    "I think it should be explained in the brochure that the local store does
    not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or ginger nuts."

    "It's lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the afternoons. I often
    needed to buy things during 'siesta' time - this should be banned."

    "On my holiday to Goa in India , I was disgusted to find that almost every
    restaurant served curry. I don't like spicy food at all."

    "We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we had to bring
    our swimming costumes and towels."

    A tourist at a top African game lodge overlooking a waterhole, who spotted a
    visibly aroused elephant, complained that the sight of this rampant beast
    ruined his honeymoon by making him feel "inadequate" .

    A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she'd been locked in
    by staff. When in fact, she had mistaken the "do not disturb" sign on the
    back of the door as a warning to remain in the room.

    "The beach was too sandy."

    "We found the sand was not like the sand in the brochure. Your brochure
    shows the sand as yellow but it was white."

    A guest at a Novotel in Australia complained his soup was too thick and
    strong. He was inadvertently slurping the gravy at the time.

    "Topless sunbathing on the beach should be banned. The holiday w as ruined
    as my husband spent all day looking at other women."

    "We bought 'Ray-Ban' sunglasses for five Euros (£3.50) from a street trader,
    only to find out they were fake."

    "No-one told us there would be fish in the sea. The children were startled."

    "It took us nine hours to fly home from Jamaica to England it only took the
    Americans three hours to get home."

    "I compared the size of our one-bedroom apartment to our friends'
    three-bedroom apartment and ours was significantly smaller."

    "The brochure stated: 'No hairdressers at the accommodation' . We're trainee
    hairdressers - will we be OK staying here?"

    "There are too many Spanish people. The receptionist speaks Spanish. The
    food is Spanish. Too many foreigners."

    "We had to queue outside with no air conditioning. "

    "It is your duty as a tour operator to advise us of noisy or unruly guests
    before we travel."

    "I was bitten by a mosquito - no-one said they could bite."

    "My fiancé and I booked a twin-bedded room but we were placed in a
    double-bedded room. We now hold you responsible for the fact that I find
    myself pregnant. This would not have happened if you had put us in the room
    that we booked."
