Yarmouth Posts 3,441 Holidays .... extra late surcharges BBC Breakfast today had an item regarding.......new extra surcharges imposed by tour opperators because of oil and fuel increases and the value of the euro changing...... Expect any increase 30 days before you depart after paying for your holiday in full before hand. Times are changing.......the price is never what is stated at the start.   I also was suprised to be told that the current Passport cost is now ...£72 per adult.    Report

Even coach tour holidays are imposing surcharges in UK,  and more for aboard with euro currency involved.    Report

Holiday on the Broads. With any luck, if we can drag off the evil grasp of the RSPB and the BA, there might be future development to encourage more holiday makers to the area. With a small miracle we might even see the area lurch into the 21st Century. Oh I forgot, the OBN, never mind you will just have to keep burning millions of gallons of oil, going to the foreigners lair after all. Dream on keithgerrard@gerrard24.freeserve.co.uk    Report
