And then, as an Englishman living in the south of this small island, I read your wonderful description of the Black Hawk Hotel and had visions of so many that I know with oak beamed ceilings and wood panelling dating back to the times of Henry VIII. The smell of the log fire and the pipe smoke mingling whilst I supped a pint of my favourite brew were all in there, until I was brought down to earth with the name of the night porter - Dewayne!!! You impostor, you misleader of men, this is not a genuine Black Hawk Hotel but an American pseudo-hostelry that has never seen a postilian in its entire life! No English hotel would countenance employing a night porter with such a name! Scrote, the wrinkled retainer, is more our mark. Gerry
