Very good news about Mac. I first used him maybe 5 years ago, and he was excellent. As you say he really knows his stuff. More recently I think he had some issues, and failed to turn up for one day that I had booked. In January, I got him to come to my hotel for breakfast, and, as you say, he had to be persuaded to eat. I also gave him a modest amount of cash, just to help out. There were still issues with him guiding me, and I hope these will be resolved in July when I am due back. He said all would be well, and your report is excellent news. He really wants a full time job, and with his good English, he would be invaluable in a good hotel, but he said that as he doesn't have a degree a hotel won't employ him.
