1. “I think it should be explained in the brochure that the

> local store does not sell proper biscuits like custard creams or

> ginger nuts.”

>2. “It’s lazy of the local shopkeepers to close in the

> afternoons. I often needed to buy things during ‘siesta’ time –

> this should be banned

>3. “On my holiday to Goa in India, I was disgusted to find that

> almost every restaurant served curry. I don’t like spicy

> food at all.”

>4. “We booked an excursion to a water park but no-one told us we

> had to bring our swimming costumes and towels.”

>5. A tourist at a top African game lodge over looking a water

> hole, who spotted a visibly aroused elephant, complained that

> the sight of this rampant beast ruined his honeymoon by making

> him feel “inadequate”.

> 6. A woman threatened to call police after claiming that she’d
