点评:Spoilt our whole day by not showing up.
My group of 8 friends met at the agreed pick-up point with our cold picnic & champagne for a lovely day on the river at Henley Regatta on Saturday 1st July 2023-but the boat ''Gatsby'' did not show up, nor did anyone contact me to explain.
With great difficulty I eventually contacted the company by phone & a male from the company then tried to convince me that the boat had broken down that morning on the way to meet us!
We insisted on being shown the boat & after taking a taxi to it we found it in a filthy condition clearly not having even been prepared for charter, so clearly telling me that it had broken down on the way to meet us that morning was a lie.
I note from Companies House that James Alfredo Ruffell was at that time (& still is) the sole director of Sonning Boats & Launches Ltd (& now also one of two directors of Luxe Boating Ltd).
翻译:没来,毁了我们一整天。
2023 年 7 月 1 日星期六,我和 8 位朋友在约定的接送点见面,享用了冷野餐和香槟,在亨利赛艇会的河上度过了美好的一天——但“盖茨比”号船没有出现,也没有人联系我解释。
经过一番努力,我最终通过电话联系了该公司,然后公司的一名男性试图说服我,这艘船在那天早上来接我们的路上坏了!
我们坚持要带我们去看船,乘出租车到达后,我们发现船很脏,显然还没有准备好租用,所以很明显告诉我它在那天早上来接我们的路上坏了是谎言。
我从公司注册处得知,詹姆斯·阿尔弗雷多·拉菲尔当时(现在仍然是)Sonning Boats & Launches Ltd 的唯一董事(现在也是 Luxe Boating Ltd 的两名董事之一)。
