Blog ≫ 2014 ≫ Bad press for the Lysses House Hotel

Here in the Mirror 1, and elsewhere in the press too I'm sure. Wife dies, husband obviously has to cancel the golden wedding anniversary dinner / party, hotel won't refund them :-(

UPDATE: Didn't realise this had gone viral on the twitter etc, but it's everywhere now. Wonder what effect it will actually have.

In other local news Hythe man kills his identical twin. Hythe in Southampton though, not where I live.

I'm prowling BBC Kent for flood news.

UPDATE UPDATE: Lysses Hotel are going to refund the widower 2, well fancy that, internet hate campaigns do work after all!
