From Thomas Cook Holidays - listing some guests' genuine complaints:

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

2. "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.."

3. "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."

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

7. "The beach was too sandy."

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

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

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

13. "There was no egg slicer in the apartment..."

14. "We went on holiday to Spain and had a problem with the taxi drivers as they were all Spanish."

15. "The roads were uneven.."

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

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

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

19. "There are too many Spanish people in Spain. The receptionist speaks Spanish. 
      The food is Spanish. Too many foreigners now live abroad."

20. "We had to queue outside of our hotel with no air conditioning."

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

22. "I was bitten by a mosquito, no-one said mosquitos could bite."

23. "My fiance 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.."

They walk amongst us and they vote!!! Be afraid!
