Grosvenor hotel in London a couple of years back...
Poached eggs on toast �19.50 EACH!
We weren't even meant to stay there, as we'd booked the Meridien in Piccadilly. But when we arrived at Meridien they said the room hadn't finished being decorated.
When we transferred back to Meridien the next day, they upgraded us to a suite, gave us a bottle of champers and a lovely big fruit basket.
Anyway legs, I'm offline now til Monday afternoon!
my boss met me in London for a working breakfast - I advised reception at the hotel that I would have a guest meet me for breakfast and they put an extra �35.00 on the bill because he was non-resident - didn't bother me 'cos the company were paying but that was disgraceful....
Same in Glasgow Prestwick or Edinburgh they have cornered the market.
I was in Wetherspoons in Edinburgh (had to think therel) and this guy like Branson came to the bar and they started flapping and i was like WTF?
Once he left I asked what it was all about and it was Tim Wetherspoon -he was just like any Joe -he was in Edinburgh to see his daughter at Uni.
Tell ya the phones were red hot after he left lol
Strangely my daughter who is between jobs is F/T with Wetherspoons -should have had a word in his shell like lol

Hello there reefgal, have you not joined the party in Tenerife?
What really bothers me about the nonuts rip-off is that uncharitable souls might keep the pain going, with frequent remarks like "That's �4 per egg, why didn't you go to Tescos" or "2 rashers of bacon, you could have bought the whole pig for less"
maybe he is on a budget. shudder at the thought how much it cost in the airport bar
i am one of these that takes a packed lunch when traveling
egg mayo sandwich and cheese & onion crisps it deters any unwanted person from asking me were the toilets are.
methinks shrek is trying to hard to be a funny ass!
