At the risk of confirming that i am a grumpy old man! Why is it that guests have to clean the rooms out of all of the complimentary toiletries, teas, coffees, milks, and even toilet rolls,? can't they afford a few tea bags and a bottle of milk?.
We have 1 guest who comes here a couple of time a year and every day all the teas etc have gone, we are not mean with them a double room will typically have about 8 of everything more than enough, but this particular guest (and she is not the only one) takes all of the unused ones and put them in the wardrobe so that the maid will leave another 8 or so.
Unless you have had a very hot! curry how on earth can anyone get through 3 toilet rolls in a day?.
It must be that time of the year again when i need to sod off for a few days and annoy a hotel owner in another part of the world just to relieve the pressure.
we also had the joy of the ambulance service this week, i must admit on the occasions when we have called them out they are around pretty damn smartish and always very good with the patient.
On this occasion an old dear had decided not to pay the extortionate fee of £1 for coffee in the bar and had decided to bring down from her room a boiling kettle of water, a cup, a stolen tea bag, milk, sugar, and a packet of biscuits to make it herself, however she missed the 3rd stair down and decided to fly the rest throwing boiling water and cups everywhere 9 hours and 10 stitches later she spent £35.00 in a taxi back from Glan Clwyd to get her full breakfast.
Ahh well we now look forward to the glorious school holidays when an altogether different joy awaits us.
On the positive side business is very good bookings for July august are at a level not seen for a very long time with almost 95-100% room occupancy all we need now is the weather to change and even i might be happy.
KEEP COOKING TH BACON.

Know exactly what you mean , we had one couple who arrived, late Fri Night, went out for the evening, went out for the day Sun, then again in the evening and left Mon morning, thus they hadn't been in the room many hours. In that time they used no less than 8 toilet rolls, and the cardboard tubes were in the bin, so if they had stolen them they had gone to the trouble of unwinding them. No wonder the sewers are in a parlous state !
Serves the old 'dear' right, we have had people bring strangers in, park them in the guest lounge and brew tea, bring it down and share cups. Tight fisted beggars !
'complimentary' is the key word here
look it up in a dictionary Hotelier
Many Thanks for that enlightening piece of information Trojan But even in an all you can eat buffet they don't let you take meals home with you, and that is my point!!!.
If Trojan books in with you chain down anything of value ! :-)
