Surely that's a scam, and one where they end up charging you all sorts of extras, then try to sell you a timeshare?
yep they can go con someone else, no way my nursing wages get spent on their fiddles.

No probs raj101. Do not want you to get scammed. Anyone who is not of a strong will, will get enticed, especially when you are on holiday with your guard down etc, and that is why they do it. Many people I have spoken to at the resort who are members all wished they had not b*ght in, even though they always have a good time, and cannot fault the service, the staff etc, but at what costs?

sorry I should acknowledge its not a full on scam,, you do get a holiday for a reduced price. I appreciate that you milking them for freebies is a good thing.
Personally though I don't want to give these goons time of day, that's another thing about the way I roll. I abhor lives spent trying to trick people. If I did go, I would probably end up hitting them with a frying pan at the resort.

It is only a scam if you are taken in or fooled, so in a sense, it can be.
but I would love to be there for the frying pan incident

film3sixty tickets to premiere of Powder Room - I hasten to add it looks like an afterthought to get bums on seats.....
Preferred cinemas:
Central London and North London as far north as the Hampstead Everyman including Picturehouse Hackney/Notting Hill Gate - but not Wood Green and North Finchley as they are just a bit too far.

Same here -- still I shall be content to be an afterthought as not much on the free film agenda at the moment.

Congratulations, ladies! I had registered originally and was in all day apart from an hour late PM, so when I got home I found both the e-mail saying "more tix available on a first come, first served basis" and the follow-up saying "all gone" - grr!
