Hi guys,
We recently had a fantastic trip in the UK taking in Oxford, Cambridge before heading to Bath.
What great places...
We made a mistake heading in Somerset Council area and staying at a place called Taunton.
We could only grab a late room at the Holiday Inn Express in Taunton and it was clean and comfortable.
But we got ripped off a treat by the Somerset Council - they should be your Public Relations and Tourist Town Criers but....
We left the Holiday Inn and were directed to the left at the roundabout. We travelled this way onto Illminister Road on three occasions using the GPS.
Guess what.
its a bus lane and we received a heap of Traffic Infringements.
Guess I was a sucker as the signs face the roundabout and they are not visible.
Great little money maker for Council..
.. Outright theft.
As I stayed at the Holiday Inn Express I went onto Trip Advisor. Google Holiday Inn Express and pick the Trip Advisor site.
Read the reviews on this fine Council and how they have treated visitors - the first five pages of the Trip Advisor site reviews for the Holiday Inn Express, has five complaints about this Somerset Council at Taunton.
Mmmm just my complaint. I will be staying well away - bypassing the place on our next holiday...
My advice stay the hell out of Somerset....
