When we first became ‘proud owners’, we drove up to Warwickshire to stay at Ettengham Park Hotel on our way North for a few days. As we parked up in front of the house, the hall-porter came out to welcome us, and he was so excited about the car, every other word was ‘f******’, which was weird, more so because he was in full concierge uniform with bow tie, waistcoat, the full Monty. After we checked in, he showed us up to our room, &, on the way, he explained that he suffered from Tourette's Syndrome &, when he got excited, he would swear uncontrollably.
When I asked him why he had done so when we had arrived, he explained that, although their guests would often arrive in expensive cars like Porsches, Bentleys, Range Rovers, etc, seeing our Morgan was so amazing, he couldn’t help himself 🤗.
As a footnote, as we were unpacking, the room phone rang, and it was the hall-porter - swearing and shouting even more excitedly than before! Between the “f” words, I could make out that it had started raining, and we had left the roof down on our car. He wanted me to run down and he would help me to put it up “ before the beautiful leather gets wet!”.
