If you are think of staying in Washington DC avoid like the plague a B&B called “Dupont at the Circle”.

We had such a terrible experience I am posting this blog post as a warning to other travellers. See the full review on TripAdvisor.

I wouldn’t normally flame another business online but the lack of help from the owners means I am left with little choice but a frank review and a charge-back phone call to AMEX. You have been warned.

I don’t often post on my blog I am afraid. Stuff for my friends is on FB and even there I have decided to increase the privacy settings and delete the photo albums after realising that people I hardly knew had access to years of personal information and images. Not the most riveting read on a Saturday afternoon but I recommend people check out the new FB privacy settings that came out at the end of last year. I didn’t realise so much had changed.

As for sharing photos with the world I use Flickr; for my professional profile, LinkedIn;  for my location and travel I use Dopplr. My t-shirt printing company, Indigo Clothing is also available for the world to see. And so this blog is more like a hub or launchpad to some of my online content but not a place one should or needs to regularly visit.

It should be a source of optimism that even primordial life forms like Jade Goody can snare a partner.

Not mine. Berkshire looked beautiful in October sun this morning as train sped through to Paddington.
