Early this week we stayed at Seiont Manor Hotel in Snowdonia.
This is a very nice hotel: quiet, big rooms, four-poster beds, nice views, pool, reasonable room rates, etc, but it had one major flaw.
It was farking expensive to eat or drink there.
A glass of wine for £8? Beer for £4 A sandwich for £8? No thanks.
Also, it’s quiet remote. No shop or pub for miles, so whilst we could go elsewhere for food and drink, we’d have to drive, so no alcohol for me.
So off to Tesco, 9 miles away in Bangor, to buy some wine and beer and snacks, bring it back to hotel and then…
Ah, no fridge, no ice. Hmm.
So we buy ice*, but ah, where to put it?
At this point I realised what a bidet is for. It’s the perfect size and shape to cool a bottle of wine and two beers along with two big bags of ice.
Perfect!
So civilised drinking and dining for less than the price of a hotel glass of wine and a couple of sandwiches. Hurrah!
* you can also use large bags of frozen peas if no ice is available, although what the hotel housekeeping staff will make of discarded peas is anyone’s guess

I take it you are aware that a bidet is actually for washing your feet in?
Still, good use of available resources.
Ah, that old chestnut. Perhaps a visit to wikipedia is in order?
Wikipedia states:
I rest my case.
Yes, but hopefully you learned something by reading the rest if the article, in particular what it was designed for
I knew that already so all I really learned was to do with modern ‘paperless’ toilets :p
