[kj] Concorde... (OT)

[gathering@misera.net]

That goes nicely with my impression of an upper class type pilot who was at a 
hotel a few of us were staying at for Donington WSB a few years ago. There we 
all were waiting at reception behind this guy, who's all dressed up in his 
uniform and struggling with a huge bag. Anyway, no-one's helping him, there's 
no-one at reception and this guy is getting visibly upset and annoyed. You can 
see his neck going first red then purple with rage at the treatment he's 
getting and you just know he thinks he deserves a damn sight better. So, a 
receptionist eventually comes up to him, they exchange a few words and this 
guy, who is obviously very unhappy with what she said, becomes apoplectic with 
rage and utters with venom but in a suitably upper-class accent, "What a bloody 
dump!", turns on his heel and storms off...

I always remembered that incident, and whenever I receive poor service or a 
crap hotel room, that phrase always comes to mind. Now you've added an extra 
dimension for me ;)
