I know we do this topic a lot but normally I am not plagued by this irritating breed to any great extent. Just wanted to let off steam.

I have just had 5 TW bookings on the bounce over the last 24hrs, plus 2 advance booking no confirmation/no shows.  Is there something in the water?

Plus they were not obvious TW's, are they getting better at disguising it? There is probably a guide on Grunternet on how to be a successful TW.

I dont know about y'all, but last week I was reminiscing about my high school days and decided to log onto my former school's website, and looks like seniors are graduating this month, so maybe they've got more time on their hands now.

but then again, you say they dont seem like it so possibly you have some grade A timewasters you're dealing with. Can you give us examples of how they are making the bookings? Maybe can find something amiss

I don't think this new hybrid of TW, are the true TW as we know them. I discovered this, when working with a friend. The guy called her, he called me, and then he came to see me. What the clients are doing is they are in a way trying to see who is going to offer them the best deal. They aren't time wasting in as much as price, and service checking. Now the trick I have also learned it isn't who offers more, but who sounds nicer on the phone and who can give a good chat.
