Tealeafing from hotels!! No, say it wasn't so!!
On the odd trip East that I used to undertake many years ago, an RAF Navigator (Sqn Ldr, in fact) used to carry two RAF holdalls. One for his kit and the other for anything that wasn't nailed down in the hotel rooms.
Invairably, holdall 2 outweighed holdall 1 on RTB.
He was caught out once, to my certain knowledge, on being asked at Checkout the whereabouts of the Silver Service Coffee Pot that Room Service had provided the previous evening.
In the minibus to the airport, he moaned a bucketful as he wanted the Silver Coffee Pot to "complete the set he had at home".
Being invited to stay at his for the weekend was akin to staying at the Intercontinental. Talk about 'home from home'.
