Some people just like to complain. Others hope their complaints may make them a few pounds, if somebody believes them.

But in a recent report by holiday companies, some of the complaints published are beyond belief.

There were reports of Brits complaining that Spain was too full of Spanish people and that restaurants in India had too many curries on the menus.

There was an American holidaymaker in England who asked “Why on earth did they build Windsor Castle on the flight path of Heathrow?”

But the classic had to be from the tourist who was staying at a top African game lodge.

The room overlooked the water holewhere the animals congregated. He complained that  the sight of an obviously rather aroused large bull elephant made him feel totally “inadequate” for the rest of his honeymoon!

Did you know……

…that you can’t lick your own elbow?

Security van carrying thousands rammed by prison van carrying bank robbers.

$28,000 went missing when a security van was involved in a smash with a prison van carrying convicted bank robbers.

The crash which happened in Hungary left a lot of red faced officials with a lot of suspicions.

While rescuers pulled the prisoners from their burning van, bags of cash that had been strewn from the security van onto the streets of Budapest started disappearing. Car drivers were stopping, picking up the bags and speeding off again.

By the time police arrived at the scene $28,000 had gone missing.

Police were convinced it was an “inside” organised job, but this was vigorously denied by the lags who, at the time of the accident, were on their way back to prison after a court appearance.

“The bank remains very suspicious. Of all the vehicles that could have hit their van, it had to be one full of bank robbers,” said a police spokesman.

Where were the risk assessments?

In a typical year in the USA, on average, thirteen people are killed by vending machines falling on them on beaches.
