Update: barely half an hour after I wrote this, it's working again! Jolly good show, chaps.
The Goring's website is down. That is all.
Well, not quite all. It's also an excuse to have another go at the Goring for their ridiculously Luddite approach to their guests. Last time I went in, for breakfast, there was a sign on every table instructing us:
The Goring Lounge is a place for you to relax and unwind. So we ask you to help us preserve your fellow guests’ sense of tranquility…Switching off the mobile (or sticking it on silent), I can totally approve of. But giving up the computer? The business papers? That's like saying they prefer the inane tittle tattle of the local rahs to people who actually have jobs having a quiet work chat over a coffee.
Please…
· switch off your mobile telephone
· let us look after your computer
· hide away all those business papers
· sit back and relax!
Oh yah. I just realised the Goring devotees rarely have jobs. And I suspect their idea of social media is turning up to a Made in Chelsea party. In fact, maybe the whole website crash is an ingenious way of ensuring only the technology illiterate rahs find you.
As you were, Goring. As you were.
