Off to Chicago tomorrow so was surprised to get a call tonight from a B&B in Salford telling me they were expecting me tonight. I told them id booked for 1st October but they were having none of it. "You've paid for tonight"

And seemingly i have despite clicking their calendar thingy for 1st october.

I demanded a refund but i need to call the manager tomorrow.

I havent got a leg to stand on have I?

Shit Good Nose

Is one shorter than the other, anything against it etc?

You don't have a leg to stand on, but you do have a bed to sleep in tonight.

Crockery. 

Blods eating off the floor.  Again.

chicago and salford are basically the same. just stay in salford

I assume when you made the booking they sent you some sort of confirmation.  If that says tonight then, I'm afraid, all your leg are belong to us.

touchingcloth

Tell them that they've paid to stay in your house tonight. Post your keys to them and hound them until they stay in your house tonight. Do not take no for an answer.

honeychile

i have nothing against your not a leg to stand on the trouble is neither have you

Ferris

Threaten to send some heavies round.

Or go to Salford and do a shit on the bed.

It's September 18, not October 1 today. hth

Hands up that's excellent

Chance your arm for a refund?

'Chest' say there's been a terrible 'cock'-up.

Can't you just ask them to move the booking to when you want it? Unless they're fully booked then of course. Threaten them with a slating on Tripadvisor, totally unfair tactic and you'll go to hell but it might work. If it does I wouldn't eat the breakfast though.

She was being very combative on the phone and i pleaded to her humanity. In the end, small business, lose money (52 guests a night), so i...went full blodwyn "this is a threat!". She hung up.

Hey ho, whats 55 quid when ive just forked out 6 grand for my wife's visa. Throwing money into the void. Love it. LOVE IT

It's simple - check in to the B&B, load up all the furniture and coffee-making facilities into a suitcase and take them to Chicago where you leave them in State Street as it's a great street.

Give it to a homeless person you bastard.

Small Man Big Horse

That or sell it to someone on Reddit for a quid on the condition that just before they leave tomorrow morning they cover the walls in shit.

shit i thought of a funny joke when reading the thread but forgot it, sorry!

BlodwynPig

Shit, got to Chicago. Checking into HIPSTER hotel from hell (chalkboard on door to write your cute messages, LPs in the lift, Alexa in the room) and they say that im not due until Saturday. Salford and Chicago, intertwined by Blodwyn's meltdown

Write AIDS TIER on the chalkboard.

Or write "Zodiac 2k19 (they'll never catch me)"

Brian Freeze

Or that demon head thingy that Nagsworth found in that flat.

Do you need a filofax to keep track of your busy schedule?

Let me get my bearings. Chicago's not a place for little boys.
