I guess it is a very detailed thing to write in a guest book.. surely you just say, lovely stay thanks for having us.

It sounds more like what you’d write on a trip advisor review.

You might be on to something OP…

I think so......

Ok I work there and think they are making tho gs up so I have to go and do extra things and so they can check up with no reason there's more to it all they are pretty strange!! I do think they wrote the review they over use exclaimation marks themselves I think that's a big giveaway and obviously I've seen the books in real life and a lot of similarities and also no one writes reviews in so much stupid detail on the day they arrive! They hadn't even had thier "stay"

In the close-ups you posted to look at the k, look at the u's. They are completely different, one is just straight down and up, the other has a tail.

DrFoxtrot · 08/06/2023 15:00

If you're not on holiday, are you the person writing an entry in your own visitor book and trying to make the writing look different? Grin

Hazelnuttella · 08/06/2023 14:10

Can you tell us what your involvement is now pleeeease OP?

Lougle · 08/06/2023 14:05

The as are completely different, too. One has an a with the stick angling away from the circle. The other the other has it tucked in. The one that you would expect to have been more hastily written (the slanted one) is the one with the most tucked in a.

Lougle · 08/06/2023 14:03

The ks are different. One is forward slanting with the 'c' separate from the line. The other is completely upright, with the 'c' connected to the line. One has the 'c' lifted from the baseline, and the other has the 'c' tucked down on the baseline.

Hi there, @Maves - we've withdrawn the photos in your opening post to reduce the risk of you being identified off the thread. We hope that helps but give us a nudge if we can help further. Thanks. Smile

Different was my immediate gut reaction when I saw this.

gardenweed · 08/06/2023 13:40

I would have said they were written by different people until you pointed out the unusual marks made for the 'k' @Maves and now I'm not so sure.

Hazelnuttella · 08/06/2023 13:39

I think the k is quite different

Susuwatariandkodama · 08/06/2023 13:30

Strokes not stories*

fridaynight1 · 08/06/2023 13:29

It could be. There are similarities. Some people change their handwriting, I used to do it a lot at school.

Susuwatariandkodama · 08/06/2023 13:29

The K’s have been made with very different stories, they aren’t the same

No I'd say not

peachgreen · 08/06/2023 13:25

Nah.

Susuwatariandkodama · 08/06/2023 13:24

I have a few different styles of handwriting that looks very different from one another but you can still clearly see that certain letters are written in the same way and have the same shape/form.

Smineusername · 08/06/2023 13:22

No

Susuwatariandkodama · 08/06/2023 13:21

No, I wouldn’t have said so, it’s completely different handwriting and none of the letters share any similarities.

FangsForTheMemory · 08/06/2023 13:18

That means nothing. If you’re trying to disguise your handwriting it’s the easiest thing to change.
