Fresh from my recent literary appearance on a national radio show, I spent the week in the Adelphi hotel in Liverpool. You might remember it was on a TV show a few years back. Our team had a few opinions about it.
1. It was like the Shining. No really. One of my colleagues had to sleep with the bathroom light on for her first night.
2. My bedroom window was
a) frosted - like a bathroom window
b) had that wire running through it like at school.
c) was double glazed with two totally separate panes of glass
d) unable to be opened
e) didn't look outside, just onto a service staircase!
3. It had a lift with a sense of humour. Once I got on it at floor 5, on my way to the ground floor, it took me down to floor 1. Stopped, opened the doors, nobody got on. It then went back up to floor 6 to let more people on. Then it complained about being overloaded. Went back down to 5! Then it went to 2 then to G.
Delayed and insulted! By a freakin' lift.
