Would you like Basil Fawlty to Run Your Hotel?
I was reminiscing about the good old days with a friend the other day. We got talking about some of the brilliant old comedy shows that we used to watch back in the 1970’s
She was saying that one of her all time favourites used to be Fawlty Towers, in which John Cleese played the main character.
I had to agree that this show was British comedy at its very finest, and certainly caused a great amount of laughter, something that nowadays seems to be sadly lacking.
We got on to talking about the stars of the show and actually had a bit of a row about John Cleese and his real life wife. My friend was adamant that John Cleese was married to Prunella Scales, who played his wife in the show, but I knew he was in fact married to Connie Booth who played Polly the maid.
It’s strange that such a silly conversation can get so out of hand, but you know what it’s like when 2 women think they are right, nobody likes to back down and admit that they are wrong.
Naturally in the end we decided the best way to find out which one of was right was to Google the answer. Naturally it was me who was correct, which didn’t go down very well with my mate.
She said that perhaps I should think about booking a self catering Torquay holiday. I said that I would rather visit some of the hotels in Devon in the hope that one of them might actually have a real life Hotel owner like Basil Fawlty.
If you would like to holiday in Torquay I think you will find plenty of great activities you could give a try. One of my friends who organises bowling holidays for her Club was pretty impressed with Torquay during a recent visit. She loved the place so much that she has already booked up for 2 tournaments for her bowling team for next year.
I bet she is secretly hoping to have a hotel owner like Basil Fawlty, at least she would be assured there was never going to be a dull moment!!
