Goldtrail – another non-story

Is it just me, or is anybody else completely bloody pissed off with the overblown media response to the Goldtrail collapse?

We are being led to believe that there are 16,000 Brits ‘stranded’ abroad because this company has gone into administration, when actually all these moaning sunburned overweight chavs and their horrible fat children currently being given their 15 minutes of fame on GMTV are being told to continue with their holidays as normal and they will then be flown home by another airline. What’s the problem?

As for those who have had their holidays cancelled before they left the country – you will get your money back eventually because Goldtrail was ATOL and ABTA protected.  If you blow your benefit cheques on two weeks in a chavtastic resort on the Costa del Prole (in the kind of places that I would cheerfully surrender a year’s salary to avoid) paying less than your weekly budget for fags, supermarket lager, KFC and lard what do you expect?

And before you ask – Yes I am an unreconstructed snob.
