Thomas Cook it

Don't just book it. Thomas Cook it.

So goes the strap line of troubled travel agency Thomas Cook. Workers in Dublin this week locked themselves in their office after hearing that they'd been made redundant. There, they ate pizza and frantically booked holidays for people.

Thomas Cook, like all travel agents, have a special version of the internet that only has holidays on it. If, say, you wanted to visit your daughter in Morocco they might, instead, send you to Mexico. Your daughter would still be in Morocco, of course, but, crucially, all your food and drink would be included in the price.

So. Without travel agents to book holidays on their special holiday internet what will become of us all? It's a frightening prospect to be sure.
