  I really think you need a semi colon in place of the colon in that headline.

  • Peter K says:

    But surely, as what follows is a list, a colon is correct?

    • memesweeper says:

      Absolutely right Peter. One might want a semi colon instead of the comma, but that’s a matter of taste.

        I think you might both have looked at this article after the headline was changed.

    I would put the semi colon after ‘licence’.

    • AndyC says:

      …and talking about spelling, rather than punctuation, I would change “Now that Norse Atlantic has full U.K. licencing” to “Now that Norse Atlantic has full U.K. licensing”…

        There is a difference between the UK and US uses of licence. Americans use it as a noun and a verb, other countries tend to use the ‘s’ version as a verb and the ‘c’ version as a noun.

        The question is whether, as I wrote it, it is a noun or a verb.

  Met Leeds is the one hotel in town absolutely everyone avoids. Hopefully the new managers can fix it.

  IHG in Edinburgh did not shine when it came to supporting staff during the first lockdown. Perhaps one reason why service is still below par?

  • Peggerz says:

    Agreed. That probably accounts for many of the front of house staff at the Kimpton Charlotte leaving. I’ve seen a couple of them at Rocco Forte’s Balmoral recently. Can’t blame them.

      Yes I know one personally. Went to the Balmoral and very happy there. They said that the IC on George street was the worst of the 2 but Kimpton was not far behind.

  Someone on flyertalk says their points booking at the met was cancelled.

  That’s a real shame about Wotton House, it’s been an excellent value points redemption for us several times and an ideal night-before stopover for Gatwick.

    New voco opening in Surrey area announced last week in Haslemere – the Lythe Hill

  Thank the Lord IHG are distancing themselves from Wotton House. It’s a beautiful (main) building with a truly ugly, not-fit-for-purpose side extension (just to give you an idea the rooms are SO hot that their idea of air conditioning is a Dyson fan – or actually leave your room door open!).
  It could be a fabulous venue but it does need a fortune spending on it. The F&B team are tired, stretched and grumpy – as in really quite rude. Breakfast is ok but when the fresh fruit and juices are set up by a waste sink that really smells of, well, a waste sink, leaves you with a bit of a pit in your stomach – tip, sit as far away from this as possible.
  Like Rob’s experience in York, I’d rather stay elsewhere locally next time 🙁

    The issue of a beautiful main building with not-fit-for-purpose extensions is widespread. Certainly in Egypt (the Mena House at the Pyramids, Winter Palace Luxor and Old Cataract Aswan) my conclusion is that the old wings may look expensive, but either pay the price to stay in them, or go somewhere else.
    The problem is when it is not clear whether one is booking into the original building or not (or they move one on check-in)

  RBH is focussed on HIX, it’s not mainly “luxury” hotels

  So that didn’t last long .. Norse Atlantic get their air operator certificate and a few days later it’s reported that they are trimming their network
