The Plot Thickens

Place:  Cornerstones b and b Manchester Date 03.06.09.  The names of the inderviduals have been altered to shield the innocent.

This is when Basil started taking over. What woman? The woman who phoned, who was the woman who phoned? yyyeeesss no name.

The young woman you had booked in Ms Ann Lewis as arrived and you have another person coming at 11pm that is the sister of what sounded like a woman of 60 years of age, now ether there farther was a rum trump or you are in trouble, whats more when she arrives at 11pm you are fully booked and have no bed for her aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr.

How as this happened? Now I must hold my hands up here and let you into a trade secret and if any Hotelier says different there telling porky pies.

Over the 24 years of running our Bed and Breakfast in Manchester there as been the odd occasion, well lest than that, oddist occasion (I hope them tow guys from Newcastle don’t read this or the woman from Bristol, than there was) I digress, the oddest occasion when we or was it my wife (i hope she doesn’t read this) have forgot to put some one in the book now the computer (wasn’t it good when you could write in books, them were the days) or double booked like the famous Mr Wrigg and Mr Wagg incident.

So my minds set, we’ve forgot to put her in the computer, she’s coming at eleven o’clock, who is? I don’t know and we’ve no room for her.

I waited 10.30pm, 11pm, 12pm, 12.30am. I had to go to bed, I had a 6am start the next day, the Americans where all up for a 7am breakfast and Ms Ann Lewis was the last at 7.30am. So if the front door bell rang in the middle of the night I would have to get up at what ever time and tell who ever it is she’s on the couch, oh no.

The alarm clock went off at 6am, ether no one came last night or I was in that much of a deep sleep I  never heard anything. I went into the kitchen to start taking the breakfast fare through to the dinning room, to my suprise there was note from Ms Lewis lying on the floor just inside the dinning room saying she will now be down for breakfast at 9am, no problem. The Americans where up and out the door after breakfast.

I wasn’t bothered about waiting up until 12.30am, I was just glad I didn’t have to confront some one at that time of night with no bed to give them.

8.50am I get an

“Hello” Just out side the kitchen door.
