The supplied 'hotel' room for my G4S training course down at Stratford was a rather 'charming' grot in cheap student accom south of the river, about an hour by coach to Stratford (when they remembered to order the coach!)
The breakfasts (at 0530 each day) were ok though.
I was gloriously entertained by 10 witty Glaswegians on the course, who, as the bitter truth about the administration became clearly apparent, verbally smeared the crumbling facade with one dour joke after another.
