    I've been fortunate enough to receive corporate hospitality at Twickenham for a couple of Six Nations games. You get about 4 hours of hospitality, including a free bar, 3-course meal, hot snacks at half time and after the match, talks from ex-England players and seats for the match in the stadium. The tickets cost around £1600 per person. I've also done a trip to Bath (and back) on the Belmond British Pullman, which was awesome. I think Celia is priced about right.

    My comments on the makeover were rejected from the Brighton Belle Facebook page.
    Perhaps the reference to a Love Island wedding reception were too much? I dunno.
    I can understand why Belmond were reticent to release photos of that interior.
    Whatever happened to "less is more"?
