Everyone has off days and perhaps this was one or perhaps you were not the model customer you thought.

It is not fair to flame the guy and taint his rep with the world as this is one trip out of thousands that The Diggmeister operates.

Chill people...

Obviously there are two sides to the story but he did take a rib out with a full contingent of divers,  only 4 of which were members from YD and he charged Bren for all 8.

He knew Bren was willing to pick up the slack for half empty trips but as he obviously sold the 4 spare places why should Bren pay for spaces that were not empty.

Sorry but he was just out to make as much money as he could and got caught out, admittedly after Bren had paid.

Sorry but I don't deal with these sort of dishonest people well not more than once anyway.

We stayed in the Seabreezes B&B,  I notified the landlady the day before we arrived that one couple would not be able to make it and she explained that she would have to charge us 25% of the room rate for no shows.  I was happy to pay full price minus breakfast given the lateness off our cancellation.  When we came to leave she told me there was no charge for the cancellation as she had been able to book the room out.  Now I was not to know this and would have paid up had she not said anything.

Contrast and compare.  

Honest B&B landlady,  dishonest rib skipper.

And sorry but it might be one trip out of many but if you are the one on the end of this dishonesty on that one trip out of thousands how would you feel.
