You have been on a short break in a rented caravan at Skegness.

Here is part of the advertisement for the holiday.

Your holiday was a disaster. The caravan was old and dirty and some of the equipment did not work. The entertainment was dreadful and was cancelled on two evenings. Two members of your family fell ill after a meal at the Oyster Restaurant. Write a letter to the owner of the caravan site, Mr Brown, to complain about your experience and to ask for compensation.

 Are they new to the topic? If so, don't blind them with science
