I understand what you say Prof, however I will say again, I agreed a total price back in January and paid a deposit, I paid the balance in full knowing there was every chance that certain facilities would not be available, even though it was announced after I’d paid in full that these facilities would not be available I was happy enough with the price I’d paid, so happy that I was going that I called and booked another week making it a 3 week break and still happy to pay the same price as it was when all facilities was available, there lies the difference, I made that choice knowing, as parksy said the 20% vat was never intended for the camp to keep it was to be paid to the vat man, is there anyone who would honestly say if you went to buy anything or book anything and were told at point of purchase that regardless of the vat reduction we still would like to add 20% vat on to the price but we won’t be passing that on to vat man are you happy to pay that extra to give us a bit of a bonus because we’ve had it a bit tough, I wonder how many would say yes that’s fine, your generosity is amazing Prof, my last point is you say I always had the option to cancel, I had that option up to when I paid the balance and my choice then was to continue and pay the balance, there was no mention of a 15% price increase going to the campsite, if there had been I could then have made a decision of paying the balance in full or getting a refund, I now have no such option, even at that point if I’d cancelled I’d have lost my deposit.
