Title: Re: Swindon Menzies Hotel Post by: pauld on Monday, December 2, 2013, 13:19:08 Nothing wrong with it at all, just smart marketing. And if it means some folks get a Christmas do that wouldn't otherwise, everyone's a winner

And if it means some folks get a Christmas do that wouldn't otherwise, everyone's a winner I think Batch may have been referring to my comment where I misread the Clubs press release, queried the marketing, realised my error, tried to amend the post and then instead deleted. it. I am a fuckwit... there is nothing to see here move along! :-[ Title: Re: Swindon Menzies Hotel Post by: pauld on Monday, December 2, 2013, 13:34:31 Ha ha, fair enough.
