Sleazyjet and all that drama!

8th January 2012

Bonjour!

Happy New Year!

Am I glad to be back in Snowy Switzerland, funnily enough yes!

We have pretty much tore around Doncaster for the last two and a half weeks visiting every tom, dick and harry, with Mr. H chinning that all the driving was seriously damaging his plan of attack to get absolutely "bungalowed" at every opportunity, in all honestly he needn't have been worried other that Christmas and Boxing Day he succeeded!

Well obviously you are all waiting for me to start moaning about something.......nothing in Grumpus's world is that simple and folks you would be right!

First up for a kicking.....Sleazyjet, I had the pleasure of speaking to two of their staff yesterday regarding the shower of shite that was the 16th Dec and their part in said shower of shite!

For some reason still only know to Sleazyjet they decided to cancel three flights that we had been booked on and delay the fourth.

I should have been home for 1.30pm Friday afternoon, Mr. H & I arrived on the 17th @ 1.30am in the fecking morning!

So what should have been Geneva to Doncaster via Leeds Bradford airport, ended up being Geneva, to Doncaster via Liverpool airport and fecking Liverpool & Leeds train station.

I calmly tried to discuss this with the orange and white muppets yesterday and asked if they would as a gesture of goodwill would refund the £60 we had to pay in train fares from Liverpool to Leeds.

You will howl at the response because you just couldn't take it seriously!   Apparently I should have left myself stranded at Geneva airport and have waited three days to get the next flight to Leeds Bradford, rather than trying to get home the day I WANTED to fly so I could see my Dad the next day - his 60th birthday.   So they wouldn't refund my train fare.

She did point out if it happened again I should book on the next available flight to the SAME airport and if necessary they would put us up in a hotel until the next flight.

So I just want to clarify this for you all, you can't do the sensible thing and book another flight to a different airport and save the fecking muppets food vouchers and possible hotel bills, you should wait for the next flight to your original destination and milk them for everything you can get!!!!

Fuck-wits, that is all I can say I am still so mad, 10+ hours in an airport trying to get back to the UK and the nearest I have to an explanation for three cancelled flights and a delayed flight is bad weather in Luton.....new flash I wasn't flying to fucking Luton!

In the words of my dad when he finally saw Mr H "I felt for you son being with the Grumpus and not having an escape plan!"

So were finally home and I had to work the last week before Christmas, so we arrange for the the Grumpus mobile to be returned to Grumpus Manor, guess what flat battery!!!

Seriously someone was obviously enjoying fucking with me as you couldn't make this up!!

I am glad to say thankfully the rest of Christmas and New Year in comparison went smoothly, Mr H behaved at the works do, we believe we managed to see everybody we could and the party @ Grumpus Manor was fairly successful if a little sparse.

I am worn out moaning so I am off for now....toodle pip my friends Ill be back soon!
