I do know which hotels in London at the lower end of prices do decent breakfasts and which don't though, and managed to lock myself in my room in one in Kings Cross once. I had to summon reception to rescue me: Very embarrassing...Cazz Blasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458232907657861347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17510864.post-83040875846123429862014-05-25T12:56:01.954+01:002014-05-25T12:56:01.954+01:00The bass player had to wedge the door shut with hi...The bass player had to wedge the door shut with his flight case!<br />The only worse one that I've stayed in was an Cambridge, with a knackered smelly mattress whose springs were so spiny that they twanged in the night, and so much grit on the floor that it was like walking on a beach!Helen McCookerybookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10997428723795124462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17510864.post-22910625213753742302014-05-24T19:41:52.488+01:002014-05-24T19:41:52.488+01:00I stayed at that hotel last year when I did a talk...I stayed at that hotel last year when I did a talk on UK Riot Grrrl in Birmingham!
