i found this information on my hotel website under hotel development...
"Surrey
Guildford
Radisson Edwardian has acquired a prominent plot with a development partner, close to the town centre. A planning application (for the construction of a 145 bedroom hotel) has been applied for. "
I was pretty surprised. But. Where is this "prominent plot"? As far as i know, Guildford is pretty built up, there is no free plot of land near the town centre. And when i think near, i always think walking distance, cuz Guildford is that small. You dun want to be taking a bus since they are not that frequent.
That said, I think this is a pretty good investment. Because there is only 1 big hotel in Guildford and that is Holiday Inn and it is a really crap Holiday Inn, pretty notorious. So if Radisson Edwardian can better that, it would be quite good. And i always think Guildford is in the outskirts of London, cuz it is. It is juz outside the M25.
In other news... i am off today. And tomorrow... i should be looking to apply for my national insurance number... but social security ppl are giving me numbers to call here and there and most of them doesn't work... and this pisses me off.
Do you know who is
Michel Thomas? He is a linguist, and knows 20something languages and is 90 years old and an author. That's all i knew about him in the 31 days he spent at our hotel. Until today when i googled his name, then found out that he has this whole set of language books. That's the kind of books he writes... Ahh... now i know... Apparently he is really really good... if you read the reviews on amazon.com. I've just read
the short biography on barnes&nobles.com and i am so so so amazed by this person. A war hero, a undercover resistance fighter. He is amazing. And he is a gentleman, friendly, nice to talk to. I am looking forward to welcoming him back when he returns in May. =)
Neighbours on TV... but i am not watching.
