We'd had a lovely family staying in room 3 at our B&B a couple of weeks ago. When they departed we cleaned the bedroom and realised that our hairdryer was missing. This has happened before (and we're sure it'll happen again!). Guests are sometimes in a rush to leave if they're heading to Alton Towers for the day and pack our hairdryer by mistake. We telephoned the family and left a message asking them to return the hairdryer if they'd got it. The Mum of the family telephoned us to say that they'd found the hairdryer and would post it back. A day or two later we were surprised to get a second telephone call, this time from Dave the Dad of the family to say he had posted the hairdryer to us. He was full of apologies and explained that he'd not seen the yellow sticker on the hairdryer saying "I live in room 3" and he'd assumed that the dryer belonged to his wife and had put it in a bag whilst trying to help her pack. We assured Dave that it wasn't a problem, thanked him for telephoning us and said we hoped to see them all again soon.
We were busy and thought no more about the hairdryer until the postman arrived with a parcel a few days later. It was the hairdryer, enclosed was a lovely note from Dave and also a sign that he suggested we might like to leave with hairdryers from now on.
What a laugh we had! It's great to see that someone else has the same sense of humour as us!
Hope to see you and your family again Dave!
