They must be seriously deluded to image the Greens could form a government. From what I heard they can't even organise their own party conference.

Cold, wet and windy here too,  especially this afternoon.

I trimmed my dog this afternoon,  then had some yummy roast beef for dinner tonight.
After that I finally caught up with my ironing.

I have never done 'Posh.' 
Different things bring joy to different people though.   Posh probably wouldn't like my way of life either.

Good health,   peace of mind, and a clear conscience mean more to me than going somewhere very posh and mixing with the elite. I doubt they would be my sort of people anyway, no more than I would be theirs. 
I mean,  what on earth would you talk about for a start?   I could hardly join in a conversation about the latest cruise I'd been on,  or having dinner with Richard Branson!

Anyway, I don't think I would want someone grovelling round me just because they were after a big tip,  I would rather someone help me because they were sincere or kind.

Quote from: klondike on Yesterday at 05:15:58 PMI image they aren't. Ours has been hi-jacked from the environmentalists you'd expect it to be. Mind you it has been hard left for quite a while.
No surprise there, I think.  The Lefties are fully aware that Labour is unlikely to form another government, so I assume that if they want to go somewhere, the best option appears to be the Greenies.

My daughter's been there. Her husband booked it as a treat and she loved it, poshest hotel she's stayed in in the UK she said, but the staff were lovely.  My son-in- law grew up in a council house, and we certainly weren't well off.  I've been to a wedding in a posh hotel in St Andrews, my nephew's wife comes from a well to do family.  We stayed in a B&B!

The Chat Room / Doing ‘posh’..
Last post by Scrumpy - Yesterday at 07:40:49 PM
I watched a tv programme today.. Yorkshire's Poshest Hotel : Grantley Hall..
The lady that owned it was inspiring.. She said she was a council house kid and her father was miner.. admitting that she only made money after a divorce.. The renovations costs were over 100million.. The mind boggles..
The manager was more snobbish than the owner and her grownup son..
  The hotel was beautiful.. the gardens were grand.. the service top notch and the food looked delicious..

Even if I won millions I would never stay in a 'posh' hotel..
I would hate to be treated like I was better then others..
Simply because of my wealth.. Also I couldn't bear to part with such vast amounts of money in order to be waited on hand and foot.. and have my every whim taken care of..
I am just a council house kid.. Never ,ever done posh..
And never would want to..
 I have only stayed in regular hotels where the staff behave normal and mostly pleasant..
Have you stayed in a posh hotel.? 
Would you spend thousands to do so.?

A pub Landlord down in Pinner
Changed the menu for Sunday dinner
Kangaroo fritters? Not for me
They'd even put me off my tea
Now roast beef ~ that would be a winner!
