Agreed.. nothing worse than another Hilton Club Sandwich!
I guess it depends on whether you had a hellish day or not.. sometimes it is nice to just get room service and chill-out / catch up on emails. Other times I like to take a trip out and about.. can be difficult in the UK as most bars have crappy food and most restaurants are a bit dull if you are by yourself.
I like the wine bar suggestion above.. I think I will buy The Good Food Guide, Good Pub Guide and Michelin Guide.. do you think I can put that on expenses?
