Definitely. Heard someone on the radio saying that hotel were trying to get 6k out of one family of 4.

IIRC that was mentioned as one of the reasons Cumnock decided to part company with him.

And it's also the tour operator who keeps your cash if you have to cancel late.

Obviously it will vary wildly from hotel to hotel, but the one the in-laws were staying in in Kalamaki put a post on their Facebook page yesterday stating that they would definitely not be charging any Thomas Cook customers directly for their stay. It's not a big hotel and they have a lot of repeat customers, they will still be wanting them to come back next year after they switch to using another tour operator. They probably make more money at the bar from the guests than they do from the room rates tbh. I can appreciate that level of goodwill won't happen everywhere though.

9 for Tuesday. Fcuk particles.

Nope. He knew exactly what he was typing. [emoji23]

The in-laws came home from Zakynthos yesterday on a Miami Air International plane. Said it was all pretty well organised, but due to different plane sizes from what was supposed to be there, some folk had to be flown to different airports, it was just pot luck if you were one of them. Only inconvenience to the in-laws was they were an hour late getting home.

It would be a horrible way to end the season if the weather makes it hard to get a result.

Their biggest enemy might be the weather, similar forecast for tomorrow so almost certain more time will be lost.

I wouldn't he surprised if he has asked to be left out, not had a decent break for ages.

Mahmood, Parkinson and Pope also in, here is the Test squad.

Essex would be on a high after winning the T20 blast on Saturday, but 61-4 is an absolute disaster for Somerset. Bowling point already in the bag for Essex now puts them 13 points clear.

My in-laws have used the same hotel in Kalamaki many times over the last 20 odd years. It has about 40 rooms, and having stayed in it a couple of times myself I would reckon 60-70% of their customers are Thomas Cook bookings. A few other hotels they have stayed in will be the same.

Deservedly so, best thing I've watched in years. HBO bagged over 30 in total largely thanks to Chernobyl and Game of Thrones.

10 for Monday, did this last week too, still couldn't finish in the top 3 or 4.

Given how badly our forwards carried the ball on Saturday, he should be straight in the team.

They've messaged to say they are at the airport checking in, flight should be going at the same time, as far as I can make it it's an Allegro plane they are coming home on.

I tried searching on the Thomas Cook website just after midnight and it was still working then.

Not even any attempt at admin, straight into compulsory liquidation. Wonder if we might see any legal action that they have been trading while insolvent?

Nope. Just nope.

Twitter awash with folk raging that the government haven't coughed up to bail them out. Apart from the obvious that it breaches EU law, throwing money into a company that has reportedly close to £2billion of debt would be pointless. Shame for the staff, but they have been struggling for almost a decade, meanwhile the directors have been getting millions in bonuses every year.

Looks like they are fooked, that 4.00 am flight is the outbound flight that my in laws should be coming back on. Looks like it's not going anywhere.

Ridiculous that it wasn't picked up at the time by either of them.

Fuckers have previous for getting extra time on a holiday, they were in Zakynthos when Glasgow Airport was attacked and got an extra night all inclusive in a 4 star hotel.

Need to check your small print. Did you pay by credit card? You should have protection through that.
