Harry Cichy who you may remember from the Infamous Hoover Free Flight offer of the early ninety's. Has refered a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authortity. A 'Free Flight' offer by Linguaphone & adminstered by Landround Travel clearly refers to 'FREE FLIGHT' when in fact there are * taxes, fees,charges and supplements to pay. Harry says over a decade on after Hoover, and still the words 'Free Flight' crop up when clearly obligatory taxes apply. He belives this to be a clear breach of thr CAP Code. Copies of the complaint have been sent to OFT & ISP. http://www.linguaphone.co.uk/offer/freeflight06/   www.asa.org.uk
