I see the Oriental  now starts at £650! And it does have the sexy young boys in Thai  costume, assisting  with the lifts any more!

Sorry, 'doesn't have sexy young Thai boys.....'

this is what I thought, there are better places for sexy boys to work than lift assistant at Oriental.

I had a word from somebody with experience in very upscale hotels in NYC that while earnings were good, rich people are very stingy  with tips. She opined that they may not know a difference in value between 1 $  and 20 $ notes due to their affluence. Just repeating what I heard

The NY experience  could work either way!

Personally,  I get so fed up with the tip, tip culture, now even in takeaway coffee shops, etc, I tend to tip less!
