Hotel mementoes

SIR – David Keenan (Letters, May 23) seems to complain that guests at the hotel which he owns take the complimentary tea and coffee bags with them.

He should see this practice positively. Some of his guests will no doubt enjoy the tea and coffee at a later date while remembering their pleasant stay in his hotel. Richard Hodgkiss

Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

SIR – I would refer Mr Keenan to The Deeper Meaning of Liff, by Douglas Adams and John Lloyd, in which place names are matched with meanings that don’t yet have words of their own.

“Fremantle (vb.): To steal things not worth the bother of stealing. One steals cars, money and silver. Book matches, airline eye-patches and individual pots of Trust House Forte apricot jam are merely fremantled.” Justice Hawkins
