📘 This One Time In …..
100 Outrageous Stories from the Golden Era of Holiday Reps
Before smartphones, before selfies, before cancel culture — there was chaos.
This book takes you straight back to the glory days of repping in Europe — when the only thing that mattered was getting the party started and keeping it going 'til sunrise (and somehow still turning up to the welcome meeting).
100 real stories from reps across Ibiza, Tenerife, Majorca, Zante and beyond — when:
A one-night stand was a badge of honour (and two in a night earned applause).
No camera phones meant you could be a legend without ending up on Instagram.
internet didn’t exist (or was dial-up at best), so you lived in the now.
Drinking ‘til you dropped was standard — and you still had change from £20.
Political correctness? Never heard of her. Woke wasn’t a thing — we were too busy being wide awake in after-hours bars.
And right in the middle of it all? The reps. We were the instigators, the facilitators, the ringleaders. We’ve been there, done it, and got the sun-faded T-shirt.
“This One Time In …..” is your backstage pass to the stories that never made the brochures — hilarious, reckless, and completely unfiltered.

📣 We Want Your Story
We weren’t just the ones holding clipboards and herding hungover tourists onto transfer coaches.
We were the party starters, the problem-solvers, the agony aunts, wingmen, babysitters, bouncers, best mates, and sometimes… the only ones keeping it all together.
Life as a rep wasn’t ordinary — it was unforgettable. Some moments were wild, some hilarious, some heartbreaking, and some that only another rep would truly understand. And now, we’d like to let the outside world — the 99.999% who never did it — know what it was really like being a rep.
