Just received this from E bay, scooter seems to sleep right through after a couple of chapters.

Thanks for all the advice so far

Spent last week in the UK, both me and Mrs scooter in fact. Something we both noticed was how expensive everything seemed to be. Pizza express, two undercooked small pizzas and soft drinks £30!!! Compared to my local Italian restaurant here in Munich, €14. we both thought one off incident and moved on. No matter where we went everything felt costly or overpriced for what it was. Only beed out the country for six months.

At the airport I got me a Twix for 80p -

Just got the exact same chocolate bar from the vending machine here at work, 52p

What a swizz. Moan over.

Especially at airport shops vs. supplemented or cost price work vending machines and major UK chains compared to local independents, obviously.

Lets hope with that understanding of base economics he doesn't ever start his own business....

Oh, wait

Actually, it takes a lot of effort to ensure that every hotel has one room like this - what the British Hospitality Association call the Scooterscot Room.

Agreed.

Sounds like plenty of work needs to be done

Good. Lets hope he gets over it. He's got a hotel to run after all.

He does have a problem with people visiting from Germany though...

The Thistle hotel, do not stay here! What a hole. I got chased out of the room by a wee mouse!! Seriously. Got a new room, it smelled. £115 for this hole and no breakfast.

Agreed.

He's finding the whole sorry experience just a little difficult to talk about.
The therapy helps

The manager of the Heathrow Thistle disappeared up Scooters arse? And he still gave it a bad review?

Exactly. What a dreadful individual it is.

What, the manager of the Heathrow Thistle?

"Got a phone call at the beginning of the week, a client needed help with some mathematical models. Turns out there's no one left in the UK skilled enough so they called me in Munich"

I think we've found the problem. He's disappeared up his own arse.

The first thing to check is whether the sleeping environment is conducive to a good night's sleep. Remember, that a scooterscot lacks the capacity to make its own decisions in this area, so you will need to be firm and tell it when and where to sleep. Remember what happened last time it tried to assert its independence:

Are you suggesting we should supply some kind of basket and blanket arrangement?
