Living like a Toff.

[Norder]

Staying in a nice hotel tonight, they don't have tablets of soap in the bathroom, they're Aromatic Cleansing Bars. Bollox as far as I'm concerned, but Mrs S. is well impressed.

Women eh !!

depends how badly their pretentious stuff upset you - Sinkov - Take a bite (or pretend) out of the cleansing bar..... because you thought it a mouthwash, then complain of feeling ill, how the mouthwash gave you a stomache ache etc - then they'll tell you it's for washing your hands and face with, may even use the word soap...but then how were you to know - and due to the Hotels confusing labelling - your evening was ruined.
.........then see what happens

Always ensure that when you visit a posh hotel that you take a case big enough for the slippers and bathrobes

no need - Bburn........they'd have had embroidered your initials on them - so are free to take or leave as you like.

Thanks 59/60 and Alto, I don't want to do any name dropping so I'll just say we're over Langho way.

Doesn't really bother me Norder, I don't know who it was that said it, but it sums me up perfectly, "I don't want to be a millionaire, I just want to live like one." And for two or three nights a year I do, but that's all the funds will run to.

The mouthwash thing might be problematic as well Norder, just got back from the evening meal and there's a complimentary bottle of mouthwash, along with other goodies, on my pillow.

I'm very envious Sinkov.

Last time me and Mrs 59-60 spent a few nights away it was in a yurt.

Of course it was 59/60, bloody Guardian reading, meusli eating lefties, where else could it have been ? Hope you you didn't forget your green wellies. Not a veggie by any chance are you ?

It sounded idyllic.

"Wake up in the morning in the breathtaking Lakeland outdoors. Stroll down through the woods to the crystal clear mountain stream. Forget about the 100MPH lifestyle of the city and unwind in total peace"

We froze our b0llocks off - even Mrs 59-60.

1971, we'd been married a year, we went camping just outside Oban, idyllic could have described the setting and views there. Second day the rain set in, proper Scottish rain, and it rained, and rained, and rained, and rained some more. In the end we packed up and came home, Mrs S said she would never set foot in a tent again, ever. And when Mrs S. says something, she means it.

sinkov --I think that your missus must know my missus. Similar experience in Germany in 1968 with the same result --it has to be a hotel or a ship or nothing

Yep, just the same Ss6, I once mentioned the south of France, spotless camp sites, guaranteed sunshine. Not a chance, hotel, ship, great, anything else, forget it.

My second wife's mantra was "Unless it has the word Hotel followed by 5 stars, forget it!" We divorced after three years.
