Mira ... thanks for that ... we live and learn. I remember my grandparents came to visit us when they lived in California. They gave me a pack of playing cards from the Astoria Hotel, Las Vegas .... well .... that was what was printed all over the back of them! And a "Golden Nugg...
LOL MD ... it's apparently a relatively recent term ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boutique_hotel When my daughter visited SF in March she stayed at the Hotel Astoria, which is classed as a boutique hotel due to its location and themed rooms. :)
Mira .... I have to admit to a "blind spot" about this "boutique" hotel thing. I only ever heard of hotels until just recently. I'm guessing the "boutique" ones cost a lot more. :D
MD ... check out this Metro article ... I love those posters ... http://metro.co.uk/2015/05/19/intermarche-campaign-celebrating-ugly-fruit-and-veg-is-brilliant-5204782/ :)
I'd love to find out exactly where this place is and what it's called ... not many clues available from the IP, etc. It looks like a "boutique" type hotel.
Mira ..... we have always eaten ugly fruit and veg. I used to grow a lot of my own stuff and it doesn't matter two hoots what it looks like. This "use by date" caper is ridiculous. Vick's vapour rub ..... that you don't even eat ..... has a date on it and gets binned if not sold....

And no chance of having housing estates spring up before our very eyes! :D
Hi Mistyrider ....... Teanage .... clever play on words. :D
As well as that green turtle ... there are live turtles in a tank over in the left corner but they are out of sight at the moment.
