As I recall, the forum General Holiday Enquiries, Hints and Tips was always just that - a place where holiday-related enquiries and comments not catered for elsewhere could be discussed.
Admittedly, even over the years the connection between the subjects discussed and holidays was sometimes a little tenuous ( maybe more than a little in some cases ), but today there have been more posts connected with the Olympic Games than holiday related matters.
The poster was a new member who, I thought, was possibly unaware of the rules and who would, presumably, have the error of his ways pointed out by Admin or mods. However, the latter have actually joined in the debate(s), prompting the question: has there been a change in what is now acceptable in General Holiday Enquiries, Hints and Tips and have we actually been informed of this change of course because I can't recall any such notification?
I appreciate that the forum has been unusually quiet of late and posts have been relatively few and far between, but I doubt the wisdom of turning the General section into a chatroom to solve the problem.
Some clarification from Admin. would be appreciated.
