There I Was...

[gness]

tootling along the motorway with a giant bugs bunny on the passenger seat. He wears my wedding hat to stop it getting squashed and he doesn't comment on my speed.
I had booked three rooms for some of the family for a wedding....we were late booking accommodation....my invite was lost in the post...they said..hmmm.....so we weren't expecting much for £70+ per night.
The daughter phoned...she had arrived and it wasn't the best of places....very dirty and the most miserable of hosts....but it would do for two nights.
She'd had to ask them to clean the bathroom which had an unflushed toilet with solid evidence of a past occupant.
They did so with very bad grace and told her the dust everywhere was only fluff.
An attempt at making a cuppa revealed still dirty teacups so she went to ask, nicely...for a clean cup...she really is a polite girl....takes after the Dad..☺
The woman...while absentmindedly scraping grime off the cup gave a lecture on how spotless her home was....cue....
Basil Fawlty....He hit the roof...never had he been so insulted in his own pristine home....they never locked doors so a passer by must have used the toilet....it wasn't his fault....and he threw her out!

Hello, Mum....I've been thrown out of the guesthouse!
And me?....I asked......They've banned you....I'm so sorry....

I must admit it was funny....rocking up at the wedding...late in the evening....homeless and with all the other places long booked by my over large family.

I found the daughter outside a pub....looking a bit shocked....but a Guinness for me....and a drink for the lass who rarely drinks....combined with my sense of humour soon had us giggling....but still homeless for two days....☺

LOL, did you have to kip in the car, gness ?.

[Tilly2]

To be continued......;-)

[tonyav]

Our B&B was immaculate, gness.

[jubieanna]

OMG! gness how awful. I don't think they have the best customer service! Where did you sleep?

[murraymints]

We have all been wondering which bench you were sleeping on !

[Tilly2]

I said it would be the bathroom......how was the bedding? Did you have a look at the beds?

[gness]

Well....I had also booked my brother and his wife into the same place....he was banned too....but decided to take it further.
The daughter had photographed the bathroom etc...before mentioning it to the owners....it was awful.
The brother phoned them....insisted he have his booking...and mentioned the photos.
He arrived at the "guesthouse" to find a most apologetic Basil....showing him a spotless room and offering them drinks on the house....

Meanwhile...back at the ranch.....☺

[tonyav]

Was there a Manuel, gness.

[gness]

A Manueless, Tony....she was the one gathering dust on her hand and saying....it's only fluff...☻

[jubieanna]

Do they have a website where you can write a review gness

[tonyav]

Sybil at our B&B was very obliging, gness.

[shoota]

I quite like a bit off fluff.

[gness]

I have looked, Jubie...they have the most awful reviews....should have paid more attention but we only wanted a bed for two nights....we were with the rellies the rest of the time....in their posh hotel.....the bu99ers....☺

I may review it sometime....I won't name them here...much as I'd like to as a warning but it's unfair if they have no right of reply here....

Unless they're abers......☺

[shoota]

'Specially if it only costs £70 a night.....

[jubieanna]

ha ha now that would be funny :-)

[murraymints]

shoota..you've lost weight !

[Svejk]

blow me, if I paid £70 for a room, I'd expect to have a free call-girl,,,,,at least.

[shoota]

But I've still got all me teeth, minty...

[marval]

That sounds dreadful, I hope you found somewhere to sleep.

[gness]

The priest has a four bedroomed house....there was a convent nearby but I didn't mull those options over for long....

So...it was a hotel with two rooms left but that would be over £300 per night...or a twin room which would be cheaper....the problem?

I snore all night....I sleep talk...I sleep walk and on a good night...I sleep sing....the daughter struggles to sleep in the same street as me.

But I was paying.... so it was the twin room...in a fantastic hotel with great food and within one verse of Danny Boy from the reception venue....

And to top it all.....I amazed the littlies....I'm the oldest cousin but when the Irish band asked me to dance a reel.....I did!
Only to be topped by my brother...golden balls...who did a jig...and the bride who hoiked up her wedding dress and entertained us all with a Slip Jig.....☺
