    We make plans that mostly don’t work out.. that said wet bar at 11pm tonight:-)

  They did have gold salt and pepper for a 1000 last week too

  • Lady London says:

    Grrrr….I’d be happy to spend some points on these (could move them from Tesco if I turn out to be short)… hope they offer them again.

    Did you tea-leaf your metal ones Rob? I gather doing that was quite the fashion 🙂

      Lady London,

      I would be happy to give you a set if you would like, but the two sets I have are both plastic. After flying Upper Class for more than 15 years, I only finally got around to taking two pairs, with the permission of the cabin crew, on my last round trip on Virgin Atlantic.

      That is the trip that you gave me advice on here on HFP, regarding my EU261 claim for the cancelled return flights.

      So I am happy to give you a set as a gesture of thanks. If you are interested, then perhaps Rob or Rhys can give my email address to you and then we can sort out the logistics.

      • Lady London says:

        11 Dec11 December 16:08

        Thanks DeB20. Very glad EU261 is helping you.

        Thanks also for the offer, if it’s plastic now I’m sure I will be able to nick my own, very kind of you but wouldn’t put you to the trouble 🙂

          Virgin tried to short change me…but caved in when I quoted specific sentences from the regulations!

      • Danny says:

        If you read the bottom of the shakers you’ll realise that you don’t have to ask the crew first 🙂

        (though if you do they’ll empty them for you which can be very welcome!!)

        • Deb20 says:

          11 Dec11 December 20:30

          That was the point! 😊

• Nick M says:

  Have all of the salt/pepper shakers sold out? – I can’t find them by searching and when sorting by points needed jumps from Greggs items to donations (1000+)

  • Andrew says:

    11 Dec11 December 08:09

    They only had the black ones available this morning so maybe they’re all gone now too.

  • Alex Sm says:

    11 Dec11 December 10:12

    All gone. Get some socks instead

    • Andrew says:

      11 Dec11 December 10:52

      Only smaller size left though

• Adexis says:

  We’re hoping to travel to Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi in a few weeks. It’ll be our first trip to Abu Dhabi so really looking forward to it.

  Does anyone know what the mask policy is around the pool area there (eg do you need to wear masks lying on sun beds)?

  • Harry T says:

    11 Dec11 December 15:00

    You don’t need to wear masks on sunbeds or when sat at a table for food and drink.

    • Adexis says:

      11 Dec11 December 15:27

      Thanks so much Harry, that’s really good to know

• BuildBackBetter says:

  Feel sorry for those at Abu Dhabi for F1.
  The only question is at what point does Max crash into HAM and take him out.

  • Rob says:

    11 Dec11 December 08:57

    HarryT just sent me pics of his £3,500 per night suite upgrade …. no need to feel sorry for him 🙂

    • Will says:

      11 Dec11 December 15:33

      I’ve been in one of those suites on GP day back when it was a ViceRoy and a prospective client was paying full price for it.

      Blew my mind that Harry T got a SNA upgrade to that room on race weekend.

      Surely a contender for best redemption ever!

      • babyg_wc says:

        11 Dec11 December 17:18

        Some suites actually have worse views…

  • Alex says:

    11 Dec11 December 10:30

    Most boring GP 💤

    Good if you want to flash.

  • Graham Walsh says:

    11 Dec11 December 22:04

    First corner?

• Richmond_Surrey says:

  11 Dec11 December 09:10

  There used to be plenty of salt and pepper sets on Ebay. I got two, one for display cabinet, second is on the table and all my guests learned to use small planes.

  Is the yacht there at the Yas Marina? Prob the best ever Marriott redemption in my life that!! Think the Bonvoy GP packages went for crazy points this time but the Hilton ones were pretty cheap.

  • AEB says:

    11 Dec11 December 11:42

    Haven’t seen the marriott yacht but have seen the hilton Lamborghini doing hot laps 😂

    • babyg_wc says:

      11 Dec11 December 17:19

      It’s a McLaren (Hilton sponsorship tie up)

  If you get chance try the Brewery Tap near the Chester river walls in Lower Bridge Street. Apart from the real ales and wine, amazing home comfort food in a historic hall, of medieval origin rebuilt in the 17th century!

  • JohnT says:

    For Anna on previous page..

      The thread was about Yas Marina not bloody Chester.
