Hope everyone has entered this BT competition:

http://www.businesstraveller.com/competitions/Win-a-stay-for-two-at-the-Holiday-Inn-London-Heathrow-M4J4

Nothing but the most exclusive locations for BT prizes these days 😉

While the winner gets a one night stay, we can only postulate what the second prize might be.

Two nights, perhaps?

Upgrade to the room that I had, last time I was there 🙂

Perhaps a repeat of the stay I had a little while ago in Manchester.

Went to bed at about 10.30pm after a day of meetings.

1100 – Loud group of women scream their way down the corridor – one of those things, not the end of the world

Midnight – Loud women perform ‘conga’ down corridor while knocking on every door along the way

1210 – return of conga, self and others along corridor go out and explain facts of life to them.

1230 – Every door in corridor gets a loud bang on it

1am – Fire alarm goes off, join drunken women and 40 or so very unhappy people in carpark

2am Get back to bed

3am Fire alarm goes off again, back to carpark – police called. Fat, ugly, drunken sluts warned in carpark in full hearing of everybody – some chastened looks, some giggling, some drunken falling over.

4am Police return with sirens and blue lights – reason unknown but can suspect

4.30 am – Woken by very drunk woman who is in tears demanding I open the door as I “don’t love her any more and she wants her ring back”

6.30am Breakfast surrounded by some of the ’40 or so very unhappy people’ from night before.

7.00am Checkout – “Did you have a pleasant stay with us Sir?”

Very similar thing (but only one instance and no fire alarm – or wanting ring back) happened to me on Tuesday.

When asked same question and I said unfortunately not, hotel receptionist offered a no quibble refund of the room price.

Although much appreciated, I didn’t take it as I had not reported the incident.

VK, the third prize is really special…….BT have really excelled this time….it’s an gourmet meal with one of the aviaton industry’s leaders….yes, you’ve got it:

A sandwich and coffee with Michael O’Leary on board one of his 737s.

Now don’t all rush forward to the gate…you have to pay he check-in fee first!

What annoyed me was this was not a cheap hotel with some poor minimum wage night porter on his own, this was a quality five star hotel. I think it’s unfair to name it as the fault of course lays with the women mentioned but this is an area where hotels need to do more.

I must also say that I find it much more difficult to know how to handle a drunken aggresive woman than I do a drunk man. My wifes’ suggestion that they deserved “a good slap” would have probably seen me spend the night in a different room altogether however if I had done that to a drunk man hammering on my door it would have been different.

I think this incredible offer is still available!

[Charles-P]

Yes I understand that BT is hoping you will enter, win and then take ‘Airpocket’ for a romantic weekend 🙂

[VintageKrug]

There’s only so much romance foam pillows will allow…!

[EdTraveller]

Could be my only Holiday this year…..me and the six kids are keeping our fingers crossed that we win the Competition !

[VintageKrug]

Maybe you could go all out and use the win as an opportunity to marry their Dads that weekend, if the caravan will make it that far….

[EdTraveller]

Good idea, I can see a Channel 4 Documentary opportunity here !
