People not following rules and the government not making it a more serious lockdown ensuring it will go on longer.

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.

The fact I'm not watching Rory on the back 9 at Augusta on tv right now.
at least weve not had to put up with the sky v bbc debate, why am I still seeing Tiger even though hes a gazillion shots behind, did Patrick Reed use the leather wedge there, wtf is DeChambeau doing now geez will he just get on and hit it, Rory would beat anyone if he brought his A game, Augustas really just a field without the stands etc. Oh and STFU McGinley!

Just another company I will avoid once this is all done.
I will add it to the list.
Just unsubscribed from Sykes Cottages due to the way they are equally treating customers like dirt and not refunding money! I wont be booking with them again either.
Loyalty is huge and I think its time these companies treated customers properly, they are costing themselves so many customers in the long term. Commercial suicide.
What happened with Sykes?
My holiday house is rented through Sykes.
We got told that they would refund customers and we would claim loss of revenue through insurance.

Fully agree. I’m in the process of receiving refunds on several gigs that I had planned over the next 4 weeks. All going smoothly at the moment (if understandably slow). We’ve also got a cottage in Cornwall booked (directly with the owner) in July. This is also being handled sympathetically. I will remember this when booking next year.

Have a look at twitter, they are taking the same pounding that some golf travel companies are doing.
Avoiding refunds, I have even seen they are still taking there 22% commission before refunding any customers as a last resort.
They are also allowing bookings to be transferred then hiking up next years prices as people are taking screenshots before trying to use there link to rebook.
Absolutely the worst customer service I have seen so far.
I will never use them ever again and I have booked with them 15/16 times over the last few years.
I’ll pass this on to the wife as she deals with it, shocking customer service.
There commission is higher than most of these types of sites as well.
Hope you get it sorted ??

Cheers, I havent actually got a booking with them this time, I was about to book a house in Cornwall for a week in September and thats why I was looking.
I normally book around 2 or 3 houses a year with them.
Just spoke to wife, they are now keeping commission and expecting us to refund customers via a bank transfer.
We haven’t been paid any money yet as they are withholding it.
Theres just no way we could do that unless out of our own personal accounts.
We have invested every penny and more back into holiday house, only had it 4 years.

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.

As Stu says. That is terrible. And for that reason Sykes will never see a penny of my money again.

The lass having her weekly phone call with a director of the recruitment company she runs payroll for, where they discuss how much holiday pay she has been told to steal and and the numbers she’s managed.

Interesting. I've got two lots of tickets outstanding with Ticketmaster; Eagles at Wembley in August, which will hopefully still go ahead, and Joe Bonamassa a week Saturday, which clearly won't be. Got this from them on the 19th of March;
We’re contacting you as you have tickets for an event taking place in April.
As we receive information about any changes made to your event, we’ll always share it with you straight away. There’s nothing you need to do.
It’s also worth keeping an eye on our social channels as well as those for the artist, event or venue for the latest updates.
Please understand that given the extraordinary circumstances, our Fan Support teams are incredibly busy at the moment, so we encourage you not to contact us. Instead, you can find lots of information and answers to your questions in our information portal.
Thank you very much for your patience, and we’ll be back in touch again soon.
Best Wishes,
Ticketmaster Customer Care
And nothing since. Be interesting to see how this pans out, but if they are refusing refunds they have lost a very good customer. From a legal perspective, should not the T's & C's at the time of purchase apply?
And for perspective, Book of Mormon refunded in full, no questions; Romesh Ranganathan rescheduled, tickets valid for the new date or refund; Santana to be rescheduled, tickets valid for the new date or refund. Brian Adams in May awaits, as do Elton John & Status Quo in December. Of those, only Quo is booked with Ticketmaster...
