folk.

A few weeks ago 4 of my friends booked to go on a coach Mystery tour for a day out.
Two of the four began to get really worked up about the fact that they did not know the destination to which they would be travelling

They repeatedly phoned the coach company to try and find out , and were told that it would be a very enjoyable day,and that the destination would be revealed to all on board about 1/2 an hour after departure.

The big day arrived , and the 2 who were anxious did not turn up for the coach , which left without them.
A very enjoyable day was had in Windemere by those who went, with a safe return for all.

The 2 who did not go are now trying to get their money back from the company and have been to see a solicitor to that effect.
Are these people for real or what? Am amazed !

I remember when my OH drove coaches some people came from Carlisle to Windermere to then go on a mystery tour with some friends from Windermere and they ended up going to ...

yes, Carlisle! I bet they weren't well pleased.

Where did they think they were going to be taken Chernobyl? People never cease to astound me with their utter idiocy and weirdness. I really have no sympathy.

They obviously did not understand the meaning of the word mystery.
I wonder what the solicitor said? How daft!
When I was a child, I used to go on mystery trips with my Dad. They were organised by the Miners' Institute and we always ended up at a pub!

That's given me a great laugh for the day, unbelieveable, They should be wary about getting solicitors involved, it might end up in the Daily Mail, then everyone can laugh at them.

Hope the lawyer charged for the advice ! Did once see a one word advice for £5,000; the word was 'yes', as advice on a proposed settlement; but this one would come close in brevity, at a lower price , and still more than the cost of the trip.

Tilly -- believe that the solicitor said they had no chance of getting their money back in this instance.However he would write a letter to the company on their behalf if they wished and make a further request .They have both opted for this------I personally think they are both round the bend!

Tilly2

..............And the letter's going to say 'My clients cancelled their Mystery Trip because you refused to tell them where they were going. Therefore, they are entitled to a refund (or a voucher for the next Mystery Trip!)'

Why did they get in such a tizzy?

No idea Tilly --- but they do seem to set each other off in situations.

Yes, brenda,the letter will cost £50 minimum; time spent at £120 to £300 an hour (and solicitors take an hour on everything, though theoretically charging in tenths of an hour) plus the imaginative 'expenses and disbursements' which solicitors have.The bill will be a mystery in itself.
