Hi Annj

Hmm not sure what's going on there. Can't you see the photos if you double click on the squares? If you are still having problems, perhaps you could post in the Help and Assistance forum describin exactly what's happening.

Me too for the whip round. You lot are great and for no money!!!

It is all totally voluntary and not a commercial enterprise. All the mod and admins give their time purely for the love of the site and nothing more

Hi Luci, Van & Co - thanks for that clarification & like the others I am amazed that there is no commercial element to HT. So presumably there is no income to cover costs, like unexpected legal expenses, in dealing with R***. This must be a big worry, unless you have Legal Expense Insurance cover. Now understand why you took the action to pull the original site. I really do hope that this does not impact on future HT viability - it would be totally unjust.

Have you considered putting an 'About HT' menu item at the bottom of your pages which covers HT history / structure so that everyone can read this. Its a very positive message that many are not aware of - and should be!

HI VAN/LUCI
I have just added another 2 nice photo's.
Is it at all possible,to keep them all together in a seperate folder,or do they just get mixed in with other members.
Thanks for all the good work you are doing.
William.

Having just joined the forum I cant help but notice that cruises seem to be given to members first.. Last year my wife and I had letters from a certain travel company awarding both of us a cruise, I was going to S,America in feb 2005 my wife to the Med in march 2005 as we both sent in the required number of vouchers,after sending back all there requirements, cash card nos, insurance agreed for the company to do,dining room seating arrangements we waited, we waited .then the book of vouchers came which I sent back but still no word. Then I made many phone calls most of them put on hold after a while they just clicked off when I did reach a person all they said was we would go on the waiting list and it could be nov2006. Next step was to contact the Newspaper who are giving the cruises, talked to some very nice ladies who said would have the travel people phone me which they did whithin 2 hours and the result was you will be contacted again in 6-8 weeks ,I read Williams input and like him I am 70 hope that the is magic and works.

Hi Luci/Van/Mods/Admins - let me join in on praising and thanking you.

You've helped so many people with this site, particularly with that company who take the rise - I hope your legal issues are resolved soon, that would be a real victory for consumer power!

Count me in on a whip round!

Hi Luci/Van/Mods/Admins - let me join in on praising and thanking you.
I have found this forum so helpful and supportive in my hour of need and feel that I would not have secured a cruise for henry & myself without HT.:bow
:oops:I also have a confession I was suppossed to be posting a reply about Williams pictures and accidentally posted a topic instead. I sent an e-mail to Luci to cancel it, but you guys have found it useful.

Luci, Van, Mods and Admins,

Count me in for the whip-round too. You all do a wonderful job and I doubt you really know how much we appreciate you. You are worth your weight in gold.

Hi tukumb0, I hope you get your call and get offered a suitable cruise, but just in case you do not - bearing in mind the legal constraints on what we can say - I would use the link form provided, http://www.risetravel.co.uk/holidaytruths,
starting today and repeating it frequently.
Glad to see that william71 got away - and back, from the pics seems to have had a good cruise and a good time. Hopefully the rest of us will be as lucky.

Edit to fix broken link, luci - HT Mod

Hello all

I've just resent my form to the agent whose name rhymes with dies (how appropriate!), as my 21 days were up on the 3rd March. I've also sent copies of my reply, and the original confirmation, which said that I would be contacted within 21 days, to the newspaper which ran the promotion (rhymes with Hayley Compress {which, incidentally is the name of a very exclusive exotic dancer - what she can do with a boa constrictor.... but I digress!} and to Watchdog.

I am still awaiting a call from the newspaper after e-mailing them the day that the other forum was removed (temporarily, I hope).

I'm still optimistic! There's no sensible reason for it, but I still think that I, and everyone else, will eventually get cruises, or equivalent.

By the way, the people who have been offered a week in Spain, is there any mention of the car ferry? My boss says that his friend has just been offered a week in Spain, but it's self drive. I think that has something to do with timeshares, though, not replacements for £10 Cruises.

Regards

Graham

PS Van, Luci, when you send the collection tin around, I'll put something in as well (admittedly, it might be a brass washer and a small denomination foreign coin from a country that no-one's ever heard of, but every little helps, right?

But seriously, I would be happy to chip in if funds were needed to pay for the lawyers, as I'm sure are most people on this site. Just let us know.

Additional - I've just been promoted to a 1 star member.

I'm so pleased, I could dance - in fact - I think I will...



I feel like I should do a speech, like at the Oscars - If anyone would like that, just send me a PM and I'll be happy to oblige!

Regards

Graham

PS Sorry for being

I'm also up for the whip round as long as it's not the same as my local massage parlour is offering!

phil get off the balcony quick and go ashore, sainsbury's have got bell's on offer at £12-99ltr. vivien

Hi William

Your photos will be transferred into the Cruise folder in a few days and I would expect them all to be together, provided no-one else has posted cruise photos in between your two lots.

i was allocated a weekend in new york in march 05 since then nothing. i can't contact them all i get is a voice on the phone telling me to leave my name and number. but no one has got back to me yet. anyone got any ideas? is there a phone number i can use to speak to an actual person?

Hi Vivien
Thanks for thinking of me
I just got in about 20 mins ago, my nearest Sainsburys is about 4 miles away in Clifton, thanks for the thought though, as soon as I've finished by cup of lemon tea I'm off to Tescos to see what price them have them at. Be fore this fiasco started i was thinking of becoming a Methodest, now I'm a near Alcoholic

Soory Van and Luci

Chip me in for a tenner, Luci has my full postal address.

I'm off to see the Ties (as we cannot use the name) in Timperley tomorrow, well I'm seting of a bit like Marco Polo tomorrow (I cannot believe it takes so long to travel 150 miles - it was quicker in the days of steam). So much for privatisation no wonder I saw John Major on a recent trip from Edinburgh airport - I think he was flying to London - I wonder who paid for his ticket)
Sorry luci
I will be at the offices at 9am sharp on Wednesday, I will only leave with a written confirmed cruise or a scalp under my truss.
I shall be in the Quadrant in Gorse hill on Wednesday/Thursday night if anyone wants to met up for a social
byeeeee for now the lemon tea has gone cold
Off top Tescos I must remember to chuck the recipt away - Thank Vivien
