 I wasn't bragging. I was just stating a fact which I thought might be
    of immense interest to every body else.  Especially those who might
    not have stayed in a hotel.  Of course I have not stayed in a hotel
    in 1912 which probably would have been of even greater interest.
 
          It just shows you though that we have already established a common link.
       Perhaps we can compare notes on our hotel experiences.
     On second thought I can't remember anything of interest happening,

           Oh well!

Well, I remember being impressed by a machine that cleaned your shoes.  Is that any good?

 Not really. I had one. It was called a wife.
       Strange thing.

               I once lived in a tent for a week. In the Lake district.

                      I was in the Scouts.

                            Never again.

This is getting to sound like M.P's three yorkshiremen - or two Yorkshiremen and a Geordie

Thanks Paul E for bumping the thread. I was going to do it but I thought everyone had lost interest. 

Still dont know where it is. Sorry.

    Errr........        No.....       Unless you can tell us some spicy
                     stories. ( unless of course it's about me and then please

Tomkin: keep away from tents (fire risk) and caravans (boredom risk) and stick with the strange hotels.  Even with a wife -

never again.  Grin

According to this Louth was on the line to Grimsby http://www.lincolnshirewoldsrailway.co.uk/history.html   
Now haven't we mentioned Grimsby somewhere along the line? (excuse the pun). Could be the same architect and the same railway company?
