Dread,

I would not dream of judging you the 'customer' as a liar, infact I wouldn't dream of judging you in any respect as I don't know you. All I said was that as well as some 'service providers' lie, some customers also lie & I did say that one has to base one's judgements about a 'service provider' based on one's personal experience with that particular individual 'service provider'.

In the times on line today,I almost thought they had forgotten this case it happened whilst we were out in Goa in 2007 in the south by the way,so you northerners ain't got the monolopy on murders, unfortunately.
This happened just outside Margao.This was another poor Brtish women who was taken for a ride:rolleyes:
Interesting to read the comments boxes at the end of the article
GC: Be carful Goa your Imagine is looking very bad:frown:

This man takes the proverbial biscuit!

Perhaps he feels his "rake-off" will be diluted if more people (hopefully more competent than he is and with a more thorough background in Tourism) are employed to enact "the masterplan".

Has anyone noticed 300 extra hotels? I can count a few in the Candolim/Calangute area but where are all the rest? Mind you, a shack by the roadside with a few plastic covered tables and chairs outside is quite often designated "hotel".:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Here's a novel idea for C.M Kamat to reduce the debt,kill the property speculators and thereby appease the "sons of the soil", give Goa back a name for being a friendly place to visit - call an amnesty for all FNs involved in the property debacle, create a legal punitive capital gains tax for those that want to make a fast buck out of Goa and a legal local annual FN housing tax ( sensible amount) and hey presto debt reduced ... simples innit -oops I forgot it was Goa :confused::blink:

K-C - in cloud cukoo land ( sorry Dread :rolleyes:)

Just thought this article was indicative of Indian pricing methods and Goan gullibility........

"Cheap" mangoes at £0.50 each!
"Expensive" ones at £1.25 EACH!

In the UK if you tried to sell at those actual prices they would be left to rot, and if you apply the price difference of stuff there to here (at least a factor of x5) it makes them outrageous.
Even more so when market stalls a couple of weeks ago in Surrey were selling mangoes from South America (where they originate from) at FIVE FOR A POUND! :eek:

I sometimes think you could sell a Goan a turd if you told him they were scarce, there would be a shortage, and none of his neighbours could have one........................

Down Brick Lane last Sunday Mangos were £1 per box ! In the Bangla Super market on the same road ,they are £5 per box and they are Mancuno (?) But they are indigenous to India. Well at least its some thing they can take credit for, not that they would of course........:eek:
