Random Irritations

[Deleted member 21258]

That is absolutely absurd.

The customer has the “contract” with Sykes, Not Mrs M!

Not quite true(well to be strict with myself, the customer does have a contract but not the one you are saying), Skye are booking agents only, so the main contract would be with Mrs M. Not that my knowledge of agent law is that great, but their booking details are here:-

https://www.sykescottages.co.uk/terms/booking

Obviously I am not saying I agree with Skye stance, as they need to 'broker'/arrange the refund, to look after their customers/goodwill/owners.

Best of luck BrianM, keep bashing away at them, as wont be happy paying them commission if the customer is cancelling. Have a look at the terms you had with them, at the time of booking and policy about cancellations/commissions payable.

It’s a joke Stuart, we are ’lucky’ in the sense that only 1 person has asked for a refund so far, everyone else has re-booked for later in the year or next year.
He was pretty aggressive in his emails though.

Who was? Sykes I assume?

How can Sykes expect you to refund someone when you’ve not even been paid yet?? Does the customer know this?

Ironically enough, I was looking to book something for cornwalll with them in October as our holiday to Portugal in July is almost dead in the water. Definitely not now.

Really?? I never knew that!

i assumed booking through Sykes as the “broker”, my contract would be through them.

Every day‘s a schools day as they say??

No the guy that wanted a refund, they are given email at start as the missus gives them a welcome email.

Ah right, that’s a shame.

Maybe cut your losses, refund him and look to find another platform to advertise for rental.

Either way good luck??

Where are u? Cloudless up here today....but a cold 8c, froze last night. Any dry day is good by me.

...and that's why its an irritation.

Well if this is correct there is an awful lot more rescheduling to do...

UEFA trying to find a way to finish this season. Money money money...........I hate the Premiership but do watch the occasional game (lad and grandson are LIverpool fans) but will never watch anything again if they don't just write this season off.

Writing off a season would cause about a thousand more problems than it solves.

This season simply has to finish, it could take 2 years as far as I'm concerned. Can't just write it off.

Down on my hands and knees stuffing earth in a hole around base of a shrub my wife has had me move - and having to work over and in another low growing plant will long, thin pointed leaves - all growing from a central point - has really irritated (stingingly) my skin. I now spot that the leaves had tiny barbs almost invisible to the naked eye all along their edges (but not 'invisible' to the touch of the hand now that I check). Any gardeners on here who might know what it is. Painful. And very randomly irritating. It doesn't have succulent type leaves. They are long, thin, hard and shiny with barbed margins.

Since a few burger vans in a nearby retail park have closed, a few Rats have been seen in our small Cul de Sac, no joking .
I may have to get Pie eyed, smoke a Hamlet [cigar] and play my old flute.

Yeah, if anything they're more likely to delay/postpone next season to allow this one to finish, I would think.

Sounds bad, better get the Mrs to pee on it to be on the safe side.

Fine by me, just too far into this one without having a conclusion. And this in no way correlates with me not caring about the people who have died, seen that argument doing the rounds on twitter.

However, if they want to end the Championship and only promote Leeds and bugger whoever is in second...I could cope with that

It sounds a bit like pampas grass, got a piccy?

Take a hayfever tablet, the antihistamine will help and reduce swelling.
