Loving that you have all the newbies behind you.

All I can ask again ....why is anybody bothering paying mega amounts of money out in insurance policies that they then are not claiming on.
I am waiting for a response from my bank insurance ( 365 cover for travel and health ) for my cancelled trip.
Obviously there is a massive backlog at the moment. If the bank comes up with reasons why they should not pay out , then I too will have to consider is insurance worthwhile in the future.

My trip was booked last July ....Paid in January

UK Gov stopped travel on 17th March ............one week before my booking

That to me adds up that it will come out of the bank.

So perhaps another thread ' Who books foreign fishing trips correctly '?

Why will insurers expect resolution from the owners ??????????
Do car insurance go to the other driver or do they deal with the other insurance company.

Piss poor planning being blamed on others.

I have a summer break booked .............. do I piss about trying to contact the hotel ( who will not even have my details yet ). or do I deal with the travel agent and my insurance company

Not bad for 9 posts ...
I hope a ban is on the way.

You just compounded the fact that 6 people have failed to take steps to protect themselves at the time of booking.
As a group you each individually have the option of taking insurance............or does your mummy usually sort that out for you on the kids all inclusives............Ooops

So easy to blame others .........

And as for the not wanting to meet you and your angry mates .........



I think if you survive a ban coming on here with that attitude / mentality something is wrong with this forum.

So that is YOUR problem..... I bet you and many others have not even given a thought to taking insurance for trips booked , particularly if booked as part of a group.

You are not doing it right . .... and then crying that it is down to somebody else to pick up the pieces.

EVERY holiday you book , be it fishing , Spain with the wife , skiing ......offers you insurance or advises you take insurance out elsewhere to cover travel / no show ...whatever.

I bet you a pound to a piece of sh!t that all these people without the correct insurance , will just carry on regardless booking trips and thinking ...it won't happen again.

Man up it is whoever booked the trip that has failed.

How much 'good will' can a fishery give.
I am failing to see why people expect the lakes to pay out.
You book your trip you take insurance OR NOT !!!

Where is the incentive for people to take insurance in the future

More interesting would be ... how many of these anglers actually have the insurance in place ??

As stated previously , I have had one English venue keep the deposit because I refused to pay the balance and then have to claim on my insurance if we were still prevented from travel.

And my French trip has insurance in place ............ I pay the insurance (bank ) and I go to them to refund me .....simples

They have not changed anything ......Always been 50% deposit NON refundable ..............why would you expect them to change??

Due to booking P&O with Tesco vouchers ...............They would only offer a crossing if taken before the end of this year.

Had it been a full cash booking , I could have had a full refund.
