    Yes, I'm also a Diamond member at the Hilton chain

    And I didn't have to sell myself to the Americans as a permie wage slave to get it.

      Your missus has a loyalty card scheme. Got gazillions of points on it, might leaf through the brochure later see what I can buy with them.

      Thanks for the reminder.

      Mitch, Churchy, Owlhoot, SimonMac, Eeek, Cliphead, Zippy if we pool our points we might be able to get a timeshare somewhere. PM me for details.
      Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

          No. It's the cost of selling your soul or at least data about you. Basic data is worth about £30 to a marking company. Your data is obviously worth a lot more.

            I assume for some reason you think this "Diamond" membership is worthy of admiration or envy, I'm at a loss to understand why, please explain so I can be suitably impressed.

                I stayed in a Hilton once, ended up on the Internet
                Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Ok, not a big fan of hotels for for extended periods myself, I prefer to rent somewhere and feel comfortable rather than cycle through endless bland, soulless hotels.
