Just back from Brizzle. I had booked myself into a serviced apartment there (bettern that a hotel: lounge, fully fitted kitchen, DVD, CD, bedroom, bathroom, balcony and front door) And only £60 through late rooms.
I arrived and checked in and was directed to number 8.
There was a strange noise which I soon tracked down to the washing machine which had a full load in and was in mid-cycle rubschin:
Wnet back to reception to check I was in the right flat. It was explained that the cleaners were in gathering washing as they cleaned the flats and tended to put washing in the first available machine. Receptionist very apologetic and said she would sort it out.
Went back to No. 8 and went to put my stuff int he bedroom. The cleaners (one male and one female) were killing time while the washer did its stuff by getting better acquainted in MY BED eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek: eeek:
Much screaming and naked running around.
I went back to reception again and reported on events and they moved me to No. 26.
I lugged my stuff there, plugged in my laptop, put the kettle on and plugged in the iron. All the power in the entire block went off and stayed off for the next three hours Banghead Banghead
There was talk of evacuation as it got dark cussing:

Tempting to say "Only in Nick World" but I shall resist the urge.
Personally I stick to Travel Lodge or similar 'cos (i) they are cheap and (ii) you know what you are getting because they are all exactly the same and (iii) I can ignore the Little Chef next door and head for a decent greasy spoon for the £3.99 double sized jumbo brekky with two slices and a mug o tea.
Sur le continent I go for Formule 1 Hotels everytime. Cheap n cheerful but clean and I know what I am getting. Again no brekky but there is always a decent cafe within a hundred yards or so where the locals eat so you know it's good grub without the hotel prices.

Just confirms my idea that Bristol is a dodgy place full of dodgy people!

rubschin: To be fair people will fvck wherever and whenever they get the opportunity .... until the are married or in a "settled relationship" and then my statement changes slightly to people will fvck anyone other than their partner wherever and whenever etc. That, at least, has been my experience.

Well all the ones hereabouts have shut down. Anyway I took some nice M&S stuff with me and cooked it in my own kitchen while watching a DVD - once the power came back on!!

Actually I go for the unlimited tea and toast that comes with the breakfast. I don't like the donuts.
-
Yes they have closed some low turnover sites and have refurbed others. They are also opening new ones ~ all in response to changing demand.
BTW Wenchy it's about 155 miles from your place to Cardiff. A three hour journey .... do you need tea and toast refuelling three time en route or is this simply a delaying tactic to reduce the time you have to spend with Mr Wench's family??
You don't like the donuts .... not even with the hot choc fudge dipping sauce? eeek:

And I was never fond of their crap sausages (as the cleaner said to the, um. other cleaner)
And I stopped at this excellent place en route home. Also highly recommended

It was stopped here to prevent bullying and theft (extortion)
At Infants and Junior one pays weekly or termly dorect to the school sec.
At the High School the children get a "credt" card which is charged up by the office each day according to a budget set by the parents. Cheques have to be sent in weekly or termly direct to the school and the recharge is automatic. Kid justs picks its food and profers the card which is "swiped" at the till thus there is no money on the premises.
