Thats what me and our lass do but a bakery when off on the bike.
Talking of Harry Potter...enormous queue to have your photo taken in a fictitious spot made famous by a fictitious wizard...muppets!
Free beer(?)to wash down nicked biscuits ...7 minutes into journey!
When I was very young, the station master, in a suit and bowler hat, was on the platform at 10am every morning to see off the Flying Scotsman...train as opposed to locomotive. Changed days!
Never has a small wizzard been milked as much since Debbie McGhee married Paul Daniels
Zooming north, back over Tyne..
Has to be said, the offering provided by LNER is far superior to anything else we have experienced in Europe.

Or ripping off clientele?Possibly a lot to do with companies paying bills?
driven by the greedy booking sites - they charge a commission, which has increased a lot in recent years, based on the room rate, so it is not in the interest of hotels to have an inclusive rate. You just have to be aware of the costs and decide if the total cost of a stay is worth it. This is no different to buying insurance, vehicles and other commodities where a basic price is given to get to the top of the comparison site then you find you have to add extras to get a suitable product.
France has rarely included breakfast in the room rate. I noticed this year that fewer German hotels now have breakfast included on the main booking sites. Although, if you go to the hotel's own website, you can sometimes find they had a similar rate to the booking sites that did include breakfast.
I am aware of everything you have pointed out; but thanks for the lesson.....
Phew!
Was thinking the same Gerard. I wouldn't know where to begin. My head would be on fire just contemplating it.

..impossible to see what's going on in amongst the heaving mass....lots of foreign johnnies as well!
Please say you're joking LOL as some people may think this is a very ironic comment. (Not me, I can see you've forgotten the "winking" smilie.)
They want 28 Euros for a breakfast at the hotel for my Cologne trip.
