There are many things about this B&B that are excellent......

<rant>
OH Right, here we go..... this was a gentlemans opening gambit at check-out this morning, I then get........
a) The TV remote should be in draw by the window (he came down to ask where the remote was)
b) The soap dispenser in the shower should be lower
c) The shaver socket on the side of the electric mirror doesn't work.
There's no point trying to argue with someone like this so just thanked him for his comments and suggestions and said we'd look into them.
In actual fact...
a) The TV remote is always in the draw next to the bed, 99.9% of people manage to find it, in fact 99.9% of people think to look in all the draws in the room (there's not that many) before coming down and saying they can't find it.
b) The soap dispenser is that height because if it's lower people bang into it and either knock it off the wall or knock the containers off the bracket and all the shampoo or shower gel goes down the plug-hole.
c) The shaver socket does work, I tested it. You just have to use it in conjunction with the on/off switch which is next to it.

Grrr. I feel your pain. When you hear "There are many things about this B&B that are excellent..." you know there's a "but" coming.
I'm guessing a draw is what we call a drawer. Never heard that one before but it makes sense! In fact, in Georgia they may pronounce drawer as draw!

I think he meant, "Drore"

What a jerk! I wonder how he reacts when things in his life really are out of whack. He thinks a lot of his own opinion.

Damn that spell-checker.

Was he a professor? The ones I have come across could not survive if not for their wives. The pompous balloon in this town has no concept of reality. DH has a friend who could not walk across the street and chew gum at the same time. This guy sounds like them.

To me someone who tells you the proper level and position for things sounds like an engineer. Someone so self-sufficient they think they can manage not only their own life but also that of others.

shouldn't a professor or an engineer know enough to try the switch near an outlet?

It was the unable to locate the remote that made me think professor. You are also on track with the engineer.

No apologies necessary, we are in the Scottish Highlands, but we moved here from England. The ID is misleading.
