When my Mother did b and b she was told by the Town Hall that a cancellation had to pay 2/3 of the bill don't know if it still stands but surely a deposit must be paid?

I love the fact that security costs were too high.  Secuurity for what,a bunch of nobodies?  Surely a target for Al Quaida.....not.

Anyone with any business acumen always asks for a non-refundable deposit. The amount varies alot from place to place.
Unless the room is re-let the B&B can claim the cost of the room, but not for the meals not taken.

Interesting article in the Huffington post about the plans to revive the Alice connection in Llandudno:

"The Directors of Alice In Wonderland Ltd., Barry Mortlock and Simon Burrows, have purchased the Rabbit Hole content from Llandudno resident Muriel Ratcliffe, the owner of 20 years. They have launched a new Wonderland website to offer the finest Alice in Wonderland collectibles from around the world, and to act as portal to communicate new Alice initiatives underway in Llandudno. The team is working closely with the local County Council to bring an updated Alice trail to Llandudno. It will be a walking trail with 10 to 12 key places of interest that will depict the connection of Alice to the town. The new age trail will feature high tech interactive activities and will be open to the public in fiscal 2013/2014. Llandudno's existing railway station is also undergoing a major redevelopment. It will become the start of the trail. Mortlock and Burrows' coffee shop, currently housed within the town's large Waterstone's bookstore, is also being revamped "Alice style", which no one will be able to miss since it will be the final watering hole at the end of the Wonderland trail. Muriel Ratcliffe will stay involved in their plans to bring the strong Alice connection back to the town of LLandudno. Ratcliffe explains, "I get phone calls and emails to this day asking if the attraction is still open.""

I've just looked at the prices on that Wonderland website  :o :o :o they can't be serious can they? 

I keep hearing that there is no link with Alice  (apart from the mad hatter's teaparty in the town hall) but if it brings tourists in spending money then great!  D)

It is amazing how much money folks have - even in a recession!    ZXZ
