Re: Expect the biggest fire sale ever

I remember being in reception at a hotel in Milan during an exhibition where we had paid rather a lot in an advance booking. An Italian woman came in and asked if they had a room.

-Unfortunately we are full.

-I'm sorry, I don't believe it.

(some argument, pouting, cleavage display)

-Well, maybe we have a room but it is {eye-watering amount} per night.

-Ridiculous.

(more argument, more pouting, more cleavage display)

Eventually she got him down to about a quarter of the original amount. I realised it was just a game that they both got pleasure from, though we did speculate afterwards in our sexist way as to what might comprise room service.
