Firecat seems challenged to come up with evidence of Mercure hotels in Australia where Scotty (or anybody else) would spend "many times" (firecat's word) 50 Euros. What would "many times" actually mean for those who don't struggle with the English language? At least 5 or 6 times seems a reasonable approximation of "many times".Originally Posted by firecat69
Here's another Mercure property in Melbourne (yes, still Australia) that charges 115 Euro (131 US) for bed and breakfast. That's ... um, er, let me get out my calculator ... 2.3 times the Pattaya rate. Is 2.3 "many times"? Not for those of us who speak English as our first language. Over to firecat.
