In my opinion these are absurd terms especially in these times.
What else would you pay for so far in advance, leaving such a short period of time should, god forbid, anything go wrong.
Why do we allow these people to dictate such terms, I am in business and certainly could not get away with it.
We really shouldn't let them get away with it, why can't they despatch tickets as orders come in, what are they doing with all our money in the meantime.
There is too much of this paying way in advance for things and waiting for goods, we even do it with utilities now, the world has gone crazy, too much is dictated to so many by so few, ( was it Winston Churchill said that?)
) or was it something else.
I think I am turning in to a grumpy old man, I am about that age I think.
Mugs we are! :-s
