An elderly lady decided to give herself a
big treat for her significant birthday by staying overnight in one of
London's most expensive hotels.
When she checked out next morning, the desk clerk handed her a bill for £250.00.

explode and demanded to know why the charge was so high. "It's a nice
hotel but the rooms certainly aren't worth £250.00 for just an overnight

Manager appeared and forewarned by the desk clerk announced: "the hotel
has an Olympic-sized pool and a huge conference centre which are
available for use."
'But I didn't use them," she said.
''Well, they are here, and you could have," explained the Manager.
He
went on to explain that she could also have seen one of the in-hotel

"But I didn't!" exclaims the very surprised Manager.
"Well, too bad, I was here, and you could have."
