[Maximus-Qualitus, 12/12/2009] The village hotel & leisure club in Wirral
=========================
Have recently joined here and at £32 per month, each, we feel we have a bargain. They even waved the joining fee, normally £70.
We joined, my wife and I, on the ‘Flexi’ promotion. This is where you are only tied in for 3 months as opposed to the ‘Full’ 12 month tie in.
Extras given include £15 to spend in their restaurants, each, 10% discounts in the bars and coffee shop and 2 free vouchers for friends / family. The vouchers entitle the user to a free week in the gym, pool etc... worth £70.

I'd spotted the Spice Garden on my way to work that morning and decided that this time it would get our custom. The world (well the UK anyway - and India, Bangladesh, Pakistan etc..you get what I mean) is full of curry restaurants and in the middle of a recession we should spread

[koshkha, 26/05/2009] I get a lot of foreign visitors at work and every now and then my conscience pricks me that they are sitting in their hotel rooms with room service and I give in to the obligation to take them out for dinner. Doesn't that sound awful? The problem is that during the week I stay almost an hour's drive from the office and taking people out means I'll need to hang around the office until they are hungry enough to eat and inevitably I'll be late getting back. I also don't know the area where I work at all well but all my visitors want to indulge in Britain's most popular cuisine. I'm not talking ab
