Right, well, this might be completely off-topic, but...
Having spent a week in a hotel room recently (ah, the heat! The sunshine! The lack of housework!!), and, in deed, regularly being stuck in hotel rooms for work... There is a worrying trend appearing. The posher the hotel, the stranger the things that they provide in your room as standard.
I mean, I can get by in a hotel without a towelling robe: it's nice when one is provided, but I don't go looking for it. Towels are fairly fundamental; a bed really gives the whole thing a purpose; and soap and shampoo are really expected. The towelling slippers that you always get with said robe, though - totally useless. Anyway, hotel provides a towelling robe (and stupid slippers), this is a nice treat: however, such hotels now seem to think that if you're going to like a robe then you're going to LOVE a set of scales.
I don't know about you, but nothing says "luxury visit to a quality hotel" like a set of scales in the bathroom. No, really. Home from home indeed. And that takes us to our next point: you find a set of scales in a bathroom - why, why, why do you always have to try them out? It's not like they're toys - they are instruments of torture and doom (or, carefully calibrated measuring devices - depends on your point of view)!
So, there you go, then - thinks to think on when next you find yourself in a hotel bathroom...
