Awful today daytime about half the number of bookings and we've had about 30 percent cancel on the day

"someones decided not to drink so they can run them home" :roll: and one of those has phoned twice today to check they were booked in before cancelling

I reckon i will finish up about 40 percent down on last year

getting a few enquiries BUT unless you can guarantee them tariff 1 at 9pm they won't book

yes but you can't force people to spend money it is their choice

I have to say that the "atmosphere" yesterday seemed muted apart from the first fare of the day no one seemed to be up for christmas

That is you. Your last few posts have contained a fair bit of doom and gloom. You are like a big black doom sponge soaking up all the Christmas spirit. :mrgreen:

99.5% are happy and merry this time of year but there's a minority that turn total screwballs.

At least they had the common decency to ring up and cancel, unlike some béllénds who don't bother.
