Stayed in new voco hotels by IHG #Exeter, Fri: ironic in such a supposedly v green hotel I was steered towards lift to go to room on first floor (I took stairs); bit shocked at prices of food, drink & parking (for which I’d have paid x2 if I hadn’t checked bill)

#BarryHills: BW Hills real giant of #horseracing esp for those of us getting into it in late 1960s / early 70s as he took off. Everyone has fav horse, maybe one of his 4 Derby runners-up, but I always loved Derby 4th-placed Mr Combustible (named after him) & what a Derby (2001)

Dear LinkedIn More than once, I have received a request for nearly Β£420 to my bank from you with absolutely no indication what it’s for. I’ve asked for nothing. Please stop. It’s costing me an account fee every time.
