We had a lively FGT yesterday at Roda Park, in spite of Julie's absence (don't worry, I've marked her attendance card!). We had Ian, May, Ricky, Gail & Robert - Kostas turned up just before we finished!
Gail told us an interesting story:
Kostas from Roda Oasis was, at some time, visiting friends in the UK and they decided to go out and book their holiday while he was there. They went to their local travel agent and Kostas stayed outside. They were told Oasis was full, but they stood their ground and eventually a call was placed with head office. They confirmed that Oasis was full, but offered to speak to the owner. 'Funnily enough', the company was told, 'he's standing outside! Within two minutes, the holiday was booked.
The moral of the story, invite a Greek to visit you this winter! ;D

That was priceless - would love to have been a "fly on the wall" when they realised the error of their ways.
regards, Kath.

Brilliant story! I was giggling away when I read it.
You can just imagine the travel agent's face when the actual owner of the apartments walked in the door. lmao!

What a good idea, Chris, or may be we could find someone wanting a winter job and he could travel the country booking holidays!

Sounds like fun as well as work to me. I wonder how long it would be before it was sussed as to what was going on, and what the outcome would be.
