I recorded it and watched later, it was very interesting. I worked in an hotel in the early 1970s when it was newly opened in Norwich and the attention to detail then was amazing. all done out in Naval decor, as it was called the Hotel Nelson (in Norwich) We wore uniforms in dark green with gold braid - it was really quite posh! |

I watched it and did ask the question to Pa in Law when we were watching If the head lady Housekeeper was as tidy at home. The interviewer then asked the question and it turned out she wasn't as tidy :-D |

Maryanna, there are a few 'to do' things on my list and a jolly nice afternoon tea is one of them. |

Oh Sue, do go for afternoon tea if you can. We went for my daughter's hen do, The "oldies" one, Mums and Aunties. Not the rave up weekend in Brighton. |

We watched it, fascinating. I asked OH when he was going to take me there for just one night. After he finished laughing we decided we'd go for afternoon tea and hide in a laundry cupboard till the next day. |

I watched it and also found the price of rooms amazing :-0.....there's a lot of wealthy folk in the world! but the staff's attention to detail was probably what they like. You're a Japanese pop star and want a jaquizzi instead of a bath?.....no problem it'll only take 4 days...... :-) |

I watched it Julia and it was rivetting! I was mentally adding up how 16 days for that couple would cost them...a lot of money! I was lucky to join a party there about ten years ago and it is a very special place. I look forward to next week but am off now to walk the doggie. Have a good day :-) |

No, I did not stay there, but watched the programme last night on BBC 2 at 9.00. |
