If the booking has no trace of Joely's email address, then there's a potentially more serious gremlin in the works that's perhaps randomly taking emails intended for address X and sending them to address Y.

I would have thought the ICO wouldn't be terribly interested in an accident of the first kind. Stuff like that happens; that's life.
So looking again a the booking, which I probably shouldn't be doing, but the main contact on the booking is listed as me and yet the e-mail addresses of two of the passengers (the parents I guess) are completely different. So somehow my e-mail address has been hooked up to a completely random booking.
