As slime said its the end of the holidays, £ 35,000 per person per week, atm, £6.95 for a family of four from the middle of September to the 12th December, then its a scramferous amount of dollars per day, per limb, per person for the next 4 weeks. Its a business thing.

 

But that's the business model they have worked on for years.

 

Flip side of that are a lot of the parks are very profitable with the van owners (chunk of the business is ground rent to van owners) - talking to a rep a few years back the holiday parks don't own most of the caravans, not all are hired out - so putting in a load of immigrants is going to hurt that business too. Other big revenue is the bar... which immigrants on pennies a week cannot afford... but the van owners will want open for their own weekend away... not all the cash is the £50 a week per person

 

Only saying, I am sceptical that they would be housing immigrants at the same time as holiday makers and owners.

That's totally the kind of ridiculous blag you can imagine happening.

The biggest earner must be the activities, have you seen how much they cost! TBH ive never been on a haven holiday but I have been to plenty of center parks ones and I presume its run along the same lines. Ive spent plenty of dollars at these places as although I do love a bit of time abroad in the sun it is nice to holiday in old Blighty sometimes.

 

 

 

Anyway, give it a break lads, you are ruining a good thread here.

They dont want to hear the truth, over the next couple of days the truth will come out, then they will crawl back under their rocks and say, nothing to see here. They don't realise THEY are the problem.

I am saying you need to back up your claim, not just shit in my ears.
The next couple of days? 
I thought your mates had visuals, eye witnesses, get them to send their proof off their phones, and make a few quid on the side by selling them to The Daily Mail at the same time .👍

Well at least this is an easy one to sort out give it a couple of days.

Have I told the story of my Center Parcs holiday on here before?

 

My mate took his wife and kids there. He keeled over in the villa with a heart attack. His wife called on the way to hospital asking if I could look after the kids while they were indisposed. Flew up there. Gate staff knew who I was before I opened my mouth. Map, keys, note granting me and the kids free dining etc, bag sent to the villa, lift for me straight to where they were (another family looking after them at a restaurant). No hitches with the restaurant staff. Everyone was clued in. Super organised. Huge site with thousands of people and all sorts going on and they were bang on top of it. Anyway, spent a couple of days riding bikes and swimming until the changeover day. Observed that. Another logistical triumph getting the cleaners all through in record time for the weekend customers. Not the sort of holiday I'd plan but I'm well impressed with them as an operation. Not least because they apparently saved my mate's life. They have their own ambulance service. Went round and defibrillated him etc. So yeah, three cheers for Center Parcs.

 

Did I fcuk pay for any activities. The cost of archery or laser tag was probably what triggered his cardiac event.
