Would you stay here? ITV - The Savoy

Lucca

What is “antwacky”?

I just looked it up! Never heard of it, but quite funny and apt along with tacky!

I googled butterfly milk. It is a thing, but not from butterflies! It ends up blue. But it sounds wonderfully decadent.

We have stayed at the Savoy several times and can honestly say that the service and friendliness of staff is second to none.

(Apart from the Savoy Grill which we will
not revisit)

What is “antwacky”?

PS ... the money more than taste bit did cross my mind too!

I'm a Londoner and could sort of see where the programme was coming from. The staff were quite typical of some of these famous places and the guests seem to like the chirpy chatty style. My friend and her husband stay there every year for their wedding anniversary despite only living 6 miles away.
I've stayed at various London hotels - The Waldorf, The Hyde Park, The Curzon, Crowne Plaza, Premier Inn - they are all different and have their own character. I think maybe the more discreet ones wouldn't make such good TV in terms of the humour.

Yes, it was sad at the end and a bit eerie I thought.

I think the “butterfly milk” was a joke on us ?

£15,000 for a night for a suite. More money than sense I think.

The woman who talked about butterfly milk was quite tacky, I thought. And the 78 year old who’s been going to the American Bar for thirty years was as well in my opinion.

But it was sad at the end, closed because of Coronavirus.

More money than sense? I felt that ‘the butterfly milk’ woman was quite a sad person. Perhaps it was the only place she could feel ‘looked after’ but at a price?

I agree. What a terrible advertisement for such a wonderful iconic hotel.

Honestly was this really the best they could come up with? We have just spent an hour listening to random staff’s inane chatter.
Most of them sounded as if they belonged in some two star dive, not working for one of the most famous hotels in the world.

Such a pity as the programme could have been so much more interesting.

It's good for a laugh when you're just observing. Possibly not so funny if you're a guest there though. But I assume paying guests know what they're booking in to so you pays your money and you takes your choice

I have been enjoying it in a way. I do agree about the Ill fitting uniforms. That woman that was changing jobs looked dreadful . I can’t believe that boy who proposed spent 10,000 for having a room for a few hours , more money than sense

We said the same thing last night, totally tacky and a bit antwacky. Butterfly milk in my tea please.

I agree.
