Ultimately, I expect Thomas Cook will be forced to hand over that £3.5m to the bereaved family. Not legally, of course, rather by sheer weight of public opinion.

More chance of plaitting sick..

Maybe, maybe not. If the story endures for any length of time, folk like the OP boycotting the company will cost Thomas Cook dearly.

I know, sir, but most folk hadn't heard about the £3.5m payout until recently.

True.. But as far as i can ascertain, Thomas Cook have done nothing wrong (legally) Morally, they are twáts. But aren't all big businesses? I just don't see them coughing up and leaving themselves open too even more criticism..

Wonder how many people take a carbon monoxide alarm with them on holiday. Not difficult to stick one in the suitcase when packing.

Exactly, G2D. Thomas Cook are a big business with big business morals, or immorals as the case may be. For this reason, I think that their advisors might take the view it would be wise to make a large payment to the bereaved family.

I personally hope you're right. But it may be a little late in the day to show some compassion. How long did the parents wait for an apology? In fact, have they received it yet?

Disgraceful Behaviour, When did they get this £3 Mill??,
It must have made some %%interest since they did receive it. |

Another sensational headline but the facts are somewhat less of a story. Thomas Cook are not making a profit on this case merely being compensated for their costs after it was ruled it was the hotel not them which was at fault.

They (Thomas Cook) have given the money they received to charity...
I wonder if it's the retirement homes for former CEO'S.. |

The Thomas Cook name will soon be gone. Expect a rebranding exercise to override the terrible PR. The Germans are emotional retards in business.

Getting Thompson and TC mixed up here.

Oh dear. Now it seems they have only given half to charity (Unicef)
