I had the misfortune of being in Hotel du Vin (Bristol) at the same time as Victoria Beckham. For a hotel that seemingly prides itself on service, reputation and quality there was only one winner that day.

Would appear Vicky didn’t want anyone to approach or speak to her and that would have suited everyone, except she opted to base herself in the bar (the one of the right as you walk in) instead of her room. That’ll be the entire staff fawning over her leaving me, and the other half-dozen people in there unable to get close enough to the bar to buy hopelessly over-priced bottles of imported lager.

It’s a shame the smoking ban was already in force, else I’d have gladly sparked up a packet of tabs, on the off chance it irritated her.
