Yabba Dabba Do ! Heathrow Arora Hotel!

Time check: 1835: slightly wobbly after a large Tanqueray. We are sitting in room 217 at the rather comfy but reasonably priced Arora Hotel - only £60!!!!!!. It is run by the Sofitel Chain so standards are high and extremly good value for money.

However, I am certain they are using "TINY FURNITUE". A much used technique by Barrats Homes and Kitchen Retailers in Homebase. Make it look like you can get every appliance in a 6 foot square room. This theory is proved by the bed later. Billed as a large "Quurn" I am accused of taking up more room than our Greyhound!!!

Burp! Haddock and chips washed down with a bucket of house white followed by an excellent dessert. Our Polish waitress is very helpful and I suspect works partime at Spearmint Rhinos - Slough.

Great Hotel .......however one never sleeps well before an early flight. I have just spotted a worrying tendency that is beginning to happen to me.........."Techno Bafflage" ----- Elevators requiring room cards to work....ticket scanners at check in etc etc!!
