Sometimes it pays to ask

Posted on November 4, 2004 By admin 1 Comment on Sometimes it pays to ask

Hee hee hee :D

I'd been in email conversation with the hotel manager to confirm my reservations and all, when I wrote in the last email:

I've been reading online reviews of the hotel and I must say I'm looking forward to my stay. I did run across something interesting on [a british hotel reservation website] that mentions a free bottle of champagne for 2 or more guests staying 2 or more nights. Would it be horribly cheeky of me to ask to if this could be applied post-reservation? *grin*

The response:

A bottle of Champagne it is *smile*

You have to love the british :D

Quote of the day

Sam Vimes could parallel process. Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as "and they can deliver it tomorrow" or "so I've invited them for dinner?" or "they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply."
--(Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)
