Thanks for everyone on coach one for putting their hands in their pockets for the drivers you were all really generous and not one of you didnt give me some money lol and you even behaved your selfs when i was doing the head count

I knew he was part of the organising team but simply thought he was very rude!

Your comment is taken onboard, but I think you will find that up until that point he was a fine example of how a teenager should be.

He was no more rude than I was, only difference being he expressed it outwardly, I just bit my lip.

To be honest, swearing is just one way to be rude, and the whole team had, by then, experianced rudeness from some passengers in one shape or form.

And it should be remembered that we did miss the train, albit by 15 mins.

Anyways, as i say, point taken !

well done steve and tony, i have to say that trip very well.. nice to meet a load of new people there too.
all in all a great weekend, always tiring, but always worth it.
anyone who hasnt been on the coach and wants an easy trip with no driving or went on the 1st two (the disaster ones) then you should look into the next one...

that kid was the one that got a kitty together even though the drivers were a bit on the crap side.
missed the turn for ashford costing 25-30 mins meaning those on from edinburgh didnt have time for a bite to eat,
they got lost twice on the way to get fuel,
missed the duty free turn off so had to do a u-turn,
after duty free went the wrong way so had to do another u-turn and in general just took bloody ages to do anything.
all of this done while they were using a sat nav and as i was sitting the closest to them i could hear them curse "ffs i have missed another turn"

as for the swearing and moaning done by a teenager on a journey from edinburgh to germany taking 24 hours without a decent food stop, i personally think he was very well behaved. i dont know about you but when i was his age i would have been a lot worse than he was unless of course you were the model teenager that done nothing wrong.
i am 33 and i can tell you if you want rude then just ask me exactly what i thought of the travel to germany and you will see what rude really is!!!

Thanks nige

We do try to learn from each trip, this was the best yet, but we still have some tweaking to do.

Never going to please everyone, but we try hard.

Its a shame there were some losses, but we have been racking our brains and honetly dont think there was anything we done that caused them.

We are looking at things, so the next shoud be the best ever !

The other thing to remember is that Steve and I spent loads of time and money ensuring that company had all the details, and times etc, they themselves confirmed times, they agreed they knew locations of duty frees, we told them not to make drivers wear uniforms, we told them to ensure the coach was fully working.

In short, there were quite a few things we had been assured of that didnt happen, so what to do, cancel it all or press ahead?

of course we were p***d off, only we kinda kept quite cos we had 70 people on board !
