Maintaining radio silence once more. Looking at it another way I haven't been arrested yet.
People who know me really well will notice this week's post isn't too far from the truth. Trying to grab a bargain room may not be the ultimate romantic gesture but, if it works, we will get a bargain room.
Message to Branston Hall Hotel, Lincoln
"Dear Sir/Madam/proprietary type,
I am in a quandary. This year alone I have missed Valentine's Day, Mothering Sunday, Easter and our wedding anniversary due to work commitments and my wife has 'suggested' a romantic weekend away to compensate for her loss. The trouble I have is that a deposit for one of your rooms would show up on our joint bank statement and I'm certain my wife would take this as yet another business commitment rather than the gift it is intended to be.
If I could get a room in your fine establishment for a token price of £10 I could pass it off as a business lunch and then break the news after a short journey to your fine hotel. I realise this is considerably less than the rate you charge but we're very clean and I am certain you would barely notice our presence.
Thank you for taking the time to read my conundrum, I hope this will be satisfactory. If necessary we can come on a Wednesday and bring our own hot beverage facilities.
Kind regards.
T. Lander, esq."
