A couple of years ago a very nice guest came marching up to me.
“I don’t know what you’re doing here! ” he said rather pointedly.
“Oh” I retorted. Unable to think of any other response.” How do you mean?”
“Well, we’ve stayed in some of the best hotels in the world and the reason we pay so much is so that I don’t have to meet anyone else or talk to any other guests – especially the English”
“Oh” I repeated sensing this might not end well.
“And look at this!”
“Er?” I stuttered, thinking a third “oh” might be inappropriate – or worse, too English.
“I spent most of last night talking to almost every other guest here, my kids are best friends with all of theirs and I’ve enjoyed it so much I’ve even given them all my email address. I’ve never done that in my life.”
I finally knew how to respond
” Ah! ” I said, delighted.
