“Where are we suppose to park whil we do these deliveries ??”

There is a delivery area at the back of the hotel. Everyone else manages to use it, except Costa Coffee.

Stuck up idiotical people like you have nothing better to do than pick faults all day long with delivery drivers trying to do the job they are expected to do with minimal fuss…maybe we should fly it in by helicopter and drop it down from above..idiot.

No, use the delivery area like everyone else.

Get a life and do something more interesting and meaningful..like picking that glass up in the car park !!

If the Whitbread staff did their job properly there wouldn’t be glass in the car park.

Two years on, the delivery area is still there, and Costa Coffee still don’t use it.

I just don’t get it. Political leaders are there to follow OUR wishes, not to dictate to us.

“Golden Wonder Ltd has been made aware of the video on various sites of the Internet. The security team at the Golden Wonder facility are not employees of the company as this service is provided by Kingdom Security Ltd. As a matter of urgency, we have asked Kingdom Security to conduct a full investigation into this incident with those employees involved and to take any appropriate action.”

In other words “They aren’t our employees, we just pay for them to be there.”

OTG would really think it is appropriate to send us on our vacation with guidelines to “stay away from Tahrir Square” and “follow the news”?! Tahrir Square is 300 yards from the famed Egyptian Museum and 2100 yards from the Khan al-Khalil bizarre – both sites frequently touted in the OTG travel brochures. I would not have thought that this is how OTG wanted me to spend my vacation in Egypt – missing the Egyptian Museum and following the news for treat of war?!!

No, OTG, your have unfair business and travel practices that cost me thousands.

However, from the names you gave, I suspect you are named on the Mantrav website, and that they may disclose information about you.

I have been reading about the Mantrav International problem rumbling away, I thought about writing a piece about them. That may still prove viable.

I’ve met the person being complained about, at a couple of International Gay and Lesbian Travel Association events. I think the politest way of putting it is that other members warned me of what to expect, and I was not disappointed.

There was a story on a website called midlandszone.co.uk which had the headline “Gay-travel-company-in-ex-employee-smeer-controversy”. Travelmole had some articles too: 16th and 19th December “Gay travel firm says it’s victim of hate campaign”, and one called “Gay travel firm ‘to call in administrators’” on 21st December (2011).

Of course, those articles being removed also removes any news reporting that Andrew Jones took “Malcolm Hardy T/A Mantrav International” to a tribunal. The claim of automatically unfair dismissal under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1993 succeeded. The news articles also reported the tribunal findings that Hardy displayed “vexatious and unreasonable” behaviour throughout the proceedings, that correspondence he had sent to Jones’ representative was “unprofessional, aggressive and threatening” and that he had provided false evidence.

Malcolm Hardy made allegations that Jones was engaged in some sort of hate campaign against him.

Just from a quick look around…
