1st words due to profits warning was uncertainty over brexit. News reader then said Jet2 gained the most & over taken TC to 2nd biggest 'travel agent' - seems brexit not effected them or record numbers who booked with them.

I refuse to use them...

Blaming brexit is a cop out

Useless company anyway. I was about to book a £2000 holiday until I found out I was expected to go on a Ryanair plane

Low margin, high-cost business. Only takes a small dip in volume to hit the balance sheet. Talking down shares won't help it either,

Blame volcanic ash clouds, blame hot UK summers, blame Brexit. In the end you simply run out of excuses...

Here comes administration

Should have closed all the shops years ago, most people buy online.

Holiday in the UK. Stuff the EU

It'll be gone soon.

Who last used one of there shops to book a holiday..
