Hi XXXXXXXXXXXX
just another day at the mill----------------
10.30am guests checking out.
Guest " I know your notice says that our cars have to be out of the car park by 12 noon but can we leave them until about 7.00pm as we want to spend the day on the beach and there is no point in setting off early on Bank Holiday Monday we will just get stuck in traffic"?
Receptionist " Unfortunately we are full tonight and the guests arriving in the five rooms that your party occupy will want to park there
five cars in the car park when they arrive"
Guest " But we will be gone by 7.00pm"
Receptionist (with a smile) " I am sorry sir we haven't got the space"

Stunned Receptionist " Errrrrrrm, I Don't think so, its now 4 O'clock and people are starting to come back to the hotel for an afternoon rest before going our for the evening.
Guest " I will understand if you say no but he does need to practice for Thursday and he doesn't need to do it right now I was just asking in general for while we are here?"
A slightly more composed receptionist " No I'm sorry I don't think so"
Guest " But he is very good you would really enjoy it"
A more certain and confident Receptionist " No I'm sorry we are full with xx guests in the Hotel I couldn't allow one person to disrupt all the other people no matter how good he plays.
