I enjoyed looking at that beautiful china teaset . It would look truly ridiculous in my house but perfect in those luxury surroundings .

Just highlighting the Rich/Poor divide even more . Obscene when you think about it.

I did think the gerbil quote may have been said tongue in cheek....but who knows?
The programme is fascinating * Jalima*

grin
In that case canonisation will have to wait.

maryE....... you will be canonised any day now I expect.
You have to be dead to be canonised.

As we found out when we were invited when our friend was made a canon and DH made the mistake of congratulating him on his canonisation grin

To me it’s offensive I caught the last few mins as I switched over to see what was on and heard a man say something about paying first class to have his gerbil fly somewhere or other I felt sick to the stomach
Do you think they employ people to take gerbils on first class flights?
I'm up for a job like that

I didn't see it but I read the write-up. Perhaps I'll take a look tomorrow.
And people get cross about the Royal Family ……
They're very frugal in comparison.

Like it or loathe it, it's a vital part of London's economy. Job opportunities, contracts for suppliers etc., etc.

For me it highlighted the obscene amount of money earned by celebs who wouldn't be in such an exalted position were it not for their maybe cash strapped fans. hmm

I don’t watch this sort of porn btw

I expect the directors of Brightside stay here - or can afford to.

I couldn’t bear to watch it for the very reason luckygirl says

A bit of me finds it quite offensive when people are starving or sleeping on the streets outside - but at the same time it is mesmerising. I am intrigued that all these programmes about posh hotels are run by people from abroad.

Mind boggling! I liked the general manager's gentle sense of humour.

lemongrove Thu 29-Nov-18 21:41:04

Me too! £65 a head for afternoon tea ( but I’m worth it!) grin

Just watched this on BBC1 at eight, anybody enjoy this as much as me. Easy viewing about how hotel staff ensure very wealthy guests have the best time. So want to have afternoon tea there?
