Holiday situation!

Post Reply New Topic

I know this was a very long time ago. In August 2001 me and my family travelled to Greece on a two week vacation. We all had a great time at the hotel we stayed at and the food was brilliant. On the last night before we left we were in for an unpleasent suprise becasue when me and my family (my brother, my dad and my mum) decided to go to the hotel resturant for one last dinner. Apperently according to the manager of the hotel on your last dinner you had to wear trousers to look smart. Unfourtantly my farther packed all the suitcases and he was wearing shorts. I think the hotel manager approached my dad and said you had to wear trousers my dad lost his cool and started arguing with the hotel manager both exchanging insults a eachother. About 5 mins after the arguing ended my mum started crying (don't know why she cried). I can't remember if my dad travelled to the hotel room and changed his clothers?

Do you think my dad was in the right or not or do you think he could have handeld the situation bettert? My dad told me that he was unaware that you had to wear trousers on your last night.

he told me later on that if the hotel manger punched him he would have got him fired from his job. He also said that he felt like punching the manager himself. The hotel manager was also greek but could speak english quite well.

My dad was 43 at the time, I was 11, my brother was 9 and my mum was 42.

Not really setting a great example arguing infront of me

You can be as honest as you wan't when giving your opinions.

you dwell on things far too much jamesy!

Well to this day my dad claims he was in the right but I just wan't your opinions.

lol you plonker.

the dress code was formal and so it was understandable that your dad was told this and was perhaps wrong of him to shout at the poor waiter who was just doing his job. however i can also understand that your dad must have been frustrated at things going wrong and got angry at the last night of his holiday being disrupted because of an honest mistake he made

It was not a waiter it was a manger

They refused business because of the type of trousers you were wearing? Idiots.
