What?! Utterly Ridiculous - is something going on to push the rates up into the stratosphere? I'd expect a luxury suite and my own Personal Trainer (male) for that sort of dosh.

Darling Banking - Her Next Door and my best friend swear by Priceline. They always seem to stay in reasonable hotels (4*) for around £60. Iknow that it is a roll of the dice which hotel it gets you - all those 2* are so Lorry Driver. That said Her Next Door would be afraid of a Lorry Driver getting in her room and my Best Friend would be worried that one wouldn't.

I really should open the Surbiton Hyatt and make some money (her next door really does not need to use a hotel but she has a "thing" about men drinving minicabs and taxis. What she thinks they are going to do to her I cannot imagine - vomit over her says Him Indoors in true Basil Fawlty mode.
