…advertise a holiday for £9.50, when in actual fact they cost substantially more?

Me and the GF have decided to have a long weekend break, however when we added up all the extra’s you HAVE to pay for and double it because there are 2 of you not 4. You end up paying £72.00… £36.00 pound each… not £9.50 is it?
Yeah, it is still cheap, and we are still goin (havin decided where yet though) but its just the whole principle of it, small print shouldn’t exist. It should be this is what it is, this is what you get. Not this is what it could be and this is what you might get.

Well yeah, the Sun isn’t really a newspaper… but it has some sort of News in it (page lady baring breasts saying blowing people up is bad etc.) and its made from paper, so it ticks the boxes…

  1. actually a friend of mine went on one of these hols to the isle of wight, now then considering costs didn't include little things like the laundry, meals and drinks and entertainment, its all a bit of a con for the gullible, and considering the calibre of people who read the sun, well what can one say.

    Yeah, the price they give is always the most bog standard price. I wouldn’t believe The Sun on anything though. It’s basically toilet roll.

    But its still cheaper than any other holiday you can book. Enjoy yourselves

    to think ur gonna get somthin 4 next to nothing is a bit silly ..as it’s about making money not losing it..it’s always about the small print ..y do u think they call it that so u don’t really take notice of it and what they want u to see is printed large…ALWAYS READ SMALL PRINT THATS WHERE THE TRUTH IS..THE SUN AND PRINCIPLES DON’T GO 2GETHER

    yeah they are full of crap and rip you off. my kids wanted the james bond mp3 players out of the sun. so my whole family saved their tokens..30 in all for the 3 players. i sent them off with £16 in checks and still never got them 6 or 7 weeks later it is now.

    I was at the Derby last year and the Sun had a scam running there. I saw the position they had amongst the funfair and if you went to watch the racing, you would have seen everything except a horse. Be warned!

    Shop around there are much better deals to be had that dont involve going to some off season holiday park that they cant sell to anyone else because it is too bloody cold.

    De veres have got a promotion on at the moment weekend rooms for £19 a night – I’ve booked me and the wife 14 and 15 of Feb £19 per night for both of us.

    Premier Inn have also got a sale on.

    At least with these types of places they are in or near cities so there is something to do in the day and you dont have to go to the holiday camps show and pay through the roof for your drinks.

    Who the fu**ever called the sun a newspaper.I wouldn,t use it for toilet paper.

    There must be somewhere in small print that says ‘from’ otherwise trading standards would be involved. But I do see your point. It’s like 3 times the stated amount. My Nan reads it everyday and a while back they were doing a promotion where one got 2 free alton towers tickets by collecting a weeks worth of coupons. Nice little trip up north!

    And the Sun is a newspaper, although it may lack in quality to some. I’m doing my dissertation on it and the history is quite interesting. It used to be for the educated youth but it failed so Murdoch bought it. If anyone fancies a comical read, I highly recommend Stick It Up Your Punter.
