Just to let everyone know I've just had a truly fantastic weekend.
Once again my wife Ali and I spent some time at our favourite hotel 'get-away', Sprowston Manor, Norwich. We treated ourselves to a Valentines Day Special.
Arriving on Saturday afternoon, after settling into our room, I decided to go for a leisurely swim and sauna, while Ali indulged herself with a massage (a Christmas gift from our daughter Rachel.)
Saturday evening we had a lovely three-course meal together and then chilled out in the hotel bar to finish up with. It was just so relaxing putting us in a romantic mood before retiring to the room - enough said.
In the morning upon waking and preparing ourselves for breakfast, as per usual the hotel bill was shoveled under the door. When we checked it out I noticed that the evening meal had been excluded from the final amount payable.
We initially thought that we had paid for an 'all inclusive weekend special deal', but my wife realised it was a definite mistake on behalf of the hotel and the meal had been forgotten.
After a little contemplation I'd decided in my head that we should 'come clean' and admit the following error to the receptionist upon leaving.
When mentioning this thought to my wife, she had already reached the same conclusion in her own mind. As the saying goes - Great minds think alike.
Upon leaving we pointed out the mistake and were duly charged an additional £59.00 for the meal. The (German) receptionist however did thank us for our 'truthness' (as she called it) and I have to say I came away feeling rather proud of ourselves. It was certainly worth the extra money paid to feel that good.
When I got home I thought no more about it until I checked out my emails and found the following link below. I played it and was pleased to discover - yes actually my lovely wife and I do walk-the-talk.
Check it out!
