You are totally right. We heard about this problem, ie. some cards needing re-activating. What a cock up. We were luckily ok with our cards but would have been furious to get there and find there was a problem. You expect better and rightly so.
Wouldn't bet on it!!
Doubt it - we had to email Barber about a serious issue and he didn't have the decency to reply, despite several attempts. Have heard same from others. Not good.
