A family has been left "stranded" in Tunisia after a pre-booked taxi driver showed up an hour late meaning they missed their flight. Forty-one-year-old mum Virginia Hobson said her daughter has missed GCSE resits and her son has missed university lectures. According to LincolnshireLive, the mum-of-four has had to fork out an eye-watering £2,500 on new flights and hotel rooms due to a simple case of bad timekeeping.
Mrs Hobson, who lives near Bourne, Lincolnshire, travelled to Hammamet in Tunisia with her husband and children on a package deal arranged with travel company Love Holidays. After the taxi showed up late, however, the week away for half-term turned into a nine-day ordeal that left her tearful and homesick.
She said: "I haven't eaten, I hate it. I just want to get home. When I get on the plane, then I'll be happy again."
