Stayed at the Royal Mirage in Dubai with some friends who were ‘considerably richer than us’ and had a suite as opposed to our, very nice but standard, room. Came down for breakfast first morning and, by sheer coincidence, followed our friends. As they reached the restaurant they were greeted by name, gushed all over, bowing and scraping and some serious forelock tugging. As we approached we got … “Room number?”
Slieve Donard overlooking Royal County Down GC and Gleneagles were both good.
Spotted Peter Reid and Brian Marwood having more Champagne than breakfast at Traders in Singapore.
