“Hello, this is Ian Thompson in room 714.”
“Good afternoon Mr Thompson, how may I help you?”
“My TV does not seem to be operating.”
“I will send the technician to your room immediately.”
“Thanks.”
There’s a knock at the door.
“Mr Thompson, you have a problem with the TV?”
“Yes, it does not seem to want to operate.”
Click! The technician switches the room master switch on. The TV sparks into life as does the lighting in the room.
Sigh – how many years have I been travelling and living in hotel rooms?
