Geez, that’s a glum opener to be associated with. Sad. I’m assuming everything’s been decontaminated by now, so perhaps a focus on the positives an upcoming guest might look forward to?
Connery and Lasenby (two of the James Bond character actors) frequented the Pine Bar as well, so there’s a little fictional spy trivia to counter the real espionage.
Edit to add: Dang. That *was* a messy op. Totally irresponsible in addition to reprehensible. Sheraton Park Lane even caught some contamination as well.
