Today’s blog post is a bit later than usual! The reason is that I’m in London and had intended writing a post last night…
When I stay in London I ordinarily choose a hotel with free wi-fi, but foolishly forgot last week to check. And in the Cavendish Hotel you have to pay. 10p per minute might be within my reach – but I object on principle.
When you have paid £200+ for a room for the night it’s a bit rich to charge for what has become on of life’s essentials.
Wifi costs these hotels nothing really.
I know that life has become all about squeezing those extra pounds out if customers – but there’s a danger that adding a few pounds to a hundreds of pounds bill looks rather petty.
I shall not be staying here again!

I’m not sure that wi-fi is actually one of life’s essentials but I do agree that charging for it at a place like the Cavendish is a rip-off. Well done for voting with your feet…. and your blog.
Thanks – In some ways I regret the reliance on wifi – but my ‘connected’ professional life requires it!
