    Ibis let you cancel up to 7pm on the night you're supposed to book in (IIRC).
    "Mrs. Pench, you've won the car contest, would you like a triumph spitfire or 3000 in cash?" He smiled.
    Mrs. Pench took the money. "What will you do with it all? Not that it's any of my business," he giggled.

    She's contesting it so I need to attend.

    The Hilton is about double the price. Is there a limit to what I can claim? I am going to be expected to stay in a dossers hostel and have pot noodle for dinner?
    You'd be surprised how many defendants/plantiffs say they will attend/contest and DON'T.

    As someone else said - prepare well. Be concise and relevant and you'll do OK.
    anger, denial, acceptance ;)

    Cheers Rover.

    The Novotel looks good. There's a pool for Mrs Generali to have a dip in before the trial and a bar for a celebratory glass of pop afterwards. All the better if putain lady is paying.
  • Yes err on the side of caution... but a pool and a celebratory glass of something nice will at least calm the nerves after her Grisham-esque moments... been there and done that - so long as she sticks to the facts and doesn't let thieving putain get to her, all should be down to Justice... good luck!

    It was adjourned so we get to do it all again.

    PS I was interested that Gordon Ramsey used the word putain (connected to another ruder word meaning a part of her anatomy) last night on Kitchen Nightmares and Ch4 let it pass.

    I guess most of the people that watch "Kitchen nightmares" are largely uneducated, so it passed them by.

    I didn't see it, but am similarly uneducated.

    Putain is French for prostitute (although in slightly stronger terms).

    I only know the word because I lived in France for a year or so.

    I like Puttanesca sauce and I figured out the connection.

    It's an education, this place.

    Good luck with the case, G.
