Some on the board might find this of interest. I've just picked up the paper for a quick read whilst waiting for the better half to get ready. The Sun has a two page spread on companies who have given discount or preferential rates to members of the Armed Forces.
Thumbs Up To...
Malmaison Hotel Chain - £100 off a room (£59 b&b) and 20% off all food and drink
BMi - 10% off all fares (MoD fares)
Hilton Hotels - Government rate £95, saving £17
Tight a**e's...
BA - No more discounts for the forces (so much for the flag carrier)
Gleaneagles Hotel
One Devonshire Gardens (Glasgow hotel)
A few other companies also offered help to the forces. Lock Fyne Oyster bar offered a squaddie free drinks all night if he booked a table for two. Hamilton Race Course offered free VIP tickets for ladies day at the races.
Its nice to see that some people do still appreciate us and equally sad to see that some wont even acknowledge our efforts, in particular BA
