What bugs you on your holiday?
Monday, den 18. August 2008Things that bug me on holiday vary depending on whether I’m on a beach holiday or a city break, but I have to admit to being surprised by the results of the Post Office Travel Services latest survey.
The top bug bears according to their survey are rip-offs like being pressured to tip, feeling that tourists […]
