They used to run a fancy pants hotel in Brighton moons ago. Got a call from (the now defunct) The Face magazine. Wanted to do a luxury piece about the hotel. Demanded a luxury room on a bank holiday weekend all for free of course. Turned out the editor wanted to treat one of the magazine staff to a leaving present. Had no intention of running a piece at all & the magazine went under 2 months later. They felt 'blackmailed' into doing it. That's how annoyed they were.

Somebody in my FB feed was talking about this.

I think the hotel comes out of superbly and I applaud his actions, and next time i'm in Dublin I know where i'm staying.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!
To form a view about the hotel, she would only have needed one night's accommodation. So, just a freeloader. I'll be checking availability for that hotel next time I am in Dublin.
