There is a con going on at the ROS with the taxis, and has been for a long time, they will not allow anyone other than their own crowd onto the tarmac. I stay at the ROS every time I am in town and the staff know that I know the "bosses" and I must say they are very wary of me. I am back there this weekend, so I will say to four eyes, Hey hear you are still not telling your mates to turn the meters on, I mean we have to have a bit of fun sometimes, he will fumble about and no doubt pretend he doesn't understand me. I like it down by the river, I can work all day and if i choose to just relax at night, i grab a table and chair by the river and watch the world go by, dressed any old how. Up town at the Grande, i always feel I am still working. The pool is better too. Funny enough I agree with the check in staff, nobody in particular, but they have never been the happiest lot. I get on well with the front office SPG man and I always mail him before I arrive now because from Australia we arrive early Am, so now they are waiting for me with a room. regards bkkrop
