I have often relayed to friends and family the funny happenings in our Guest House in Edinburgh, so decided to create the Guest House Chronicles. Some things may not seem politically correct (non PC) but I would hope that you would be able to find humour in these stories. The people involved names will be fictional protecting their identity.
We have a wide range of guests from all around the world so some of the stories will involve different cultures, their idiosyncratic behaviour which seems to be unique to their cultural background. This in not meant in any way prejudice what so ever, these are just funny anecdotes that arise on a daily basis and I wish to share them with you to brighten your day. They certainly add humour to our lives daily and we hope the humour found is passed on to you. Welcome to Guest House Chronicles.
Season 1 – EPISODE 1
BEREFT OF LOGIC
I recently took a booking from a lady arriving on January 2 and staying until the 5th. January can be a hit or miss month sometime quiet, but this January 2018 seems to be taken off. After making her booking however, she contacted me by email saying that she had just checked her flights and she was not arriving at the airport until 11.30pm on the 2nd of January, so probably would not arrive until after midnight, so could she change her booking to January 3 – 5 as she would not be arriving until officially the 3rd.
Well, how does anyone answer that without laughing their butt off and saying, HELLLLLLLOOOOOO, are you bereft of logic? So, if I agree to your request, what are your going to do, climb into bed with the guests that booked the room on the 2nd because you are now cancelling the 2nd.
So trying to handle this without sounding patronising, I politely said, sure, your request would be fine providing you don’t mind crawling into bed with a total stranger and that they have no objections when I explain to them your well executed plan. I’m sure everything will be fine. Now what do you think?
Stay tuned for the next episode from Guest House Chronicles.
