How safe is your Loch Ness cruise?

To: Loch Ness Cruises

Hi,
me and my family will soon leave Sweden for a to visit Scotland and Loch Ness. We are thinking about doing a cruise but are a bit sceptical about the safety. In what ways are your boats protected if the Sea Monster suddenly would appear? Are your boats armed? If yes - what kind of weapons?
 
Best regards,
Tim Fredriksson with family

Are you being serious? In all our years of operating cruises on Loch Ness I have never had such a question!
There is only one dangerous animal on this planet - man.
Do you honestly believe that we would carry weapons on our boat to kill one of these creatures.
I think you may have the wrong information about Loch Ness.

Hello again,

I don't think this is a strange question.
We want to see Loch Ness but most of all we want to see Nessie the Sea Monster.
You offer cruises on Loch Ness where visitors hopefully get a chance to see Nessie the Sea Monster.
So - what would happen IF Nessie appeared? And what would you do IF Nessie attacked the boat?
If you can't guarantee me and my family's safety during the cruise I will probably use another (better prepared and equiped) operator.
 
Best regards,

You will find that there are no operators on Loch Ness who will take your question seriously!
Do you think that we would jeopordize peoples lives if we thought these creatures were dangerous?

Ok, maybe I overreacted. But I still care about me and my family's safety. So, what IF Nessie the Sea Monster appears when we are on a cruise? What will you do? I assume you have some policy if this scenario would occur? 

Best regards,
Tim Fredriksson

Take lots of photos and consider yourself extremely lucky that you have seen Nessie!

Big Ben is lying

To: House of Parliament
From: tim.fredriksson@gmail.com

Hi,


recently I visited London, and one of my sights was Big Ben. When I was standing below the clock I decided to syncronize my wrist watch with Big Ben. It felt as the right thing to do since you Brittish have invented time.
However, this was a big mistake. The time Big Ben is showing is wrong. It is two minutes late. Because of this I missed my train to Stansted Airport. And because of that I missed my flight and was forced to buy a new ticket. If you are having a Public Clock I think you have a responsibilty to show the right time. 
Now I wonder where I should send the bill for my extra flight ticket? 
Best Regards,
Tim Fredriksson

Dear Mr Fredriksson,

Thank you for your recent enquiry which was forwarded onto our office from the Webmaster.

I have spoken to a colleague, Mr [----------] from the Estates Directorate (who has been copied into this email) who has informed me that the clock is set three times a week and is a mechanical not electronic time piece.

However, if you could supply the precise date and time at which you set your watch Mr [------] will contact you.

I hope that this is helpful.

Yours sincerely,

[---------]

Reserving tickets for the London Underground

To: Transport for London
From: tim.fredriksson@gmail.com
Date: 05/21/2010 06:51 PM

Hi,

this June me and my family from Sweden will visit London for the first time. We want to see the Tower and Big Ben, and we think the best way is to use the Underground. Therefore I want to reserve two adults and two children return tickets on June the 17th around 2 PM from Paddington Station to Westminister.

Thanks in advance,
Tim Fredriksson

Thank you for your email.



We do not offer reservations on the London Underground.

The easiest way to travel around London is to use an Oyster pay as you go card or a travelcard. You can find more details of how to use these here:

You can order Oyster cards and travelcards online here:

Special "hair deal" at Madame Tussauds?

To: Madame Tussauds, London UK
Date: 04/13/2010 09:25 PM

Hello,

I am Tim Fredriksson from Sweden. Soon me and my family will go to London, and of course Madame Tussauds is a must stop!

My neighbour, Olof Andersson, recently visited the museum and told me that you have a special deal: each visitor that donates 1 Ounce of hair to future wax figures will get 25% discount. Three questions:

1) For how long does this campaign run?
2) Does it also apply to childrens hair?
3) Is it possible to donate even more hair and get a bigger discount?

Thanks in advance,
Tim Fredriksson with family

Hello Tim,



Thank you very much for your enquiry. Unfortunately we do not have, nor have had in the past the promotion that you have described below. You can however get a discount if you book your tickets online (http://www.madametussauds.com/London/BuyTickets/Tickets/PriorityAccessTickets/Default.aspx).


Kind regards,
