No more peanuts or wet towel

[Olddaddy]

I had forgotten until another farang mentioned....there has been NO peanuts or wet face towels now for a few years 

Cost cutting ? Different generation?

When I start my Go Go bar I will introduce these things back !!

Wet face towels always available at CockA2.

For peanuts, then you can't beat The Long Bar at Raffles Hotel in Singapore. If you know, you know!

Trouble is, that when they took the hotel upmarket,  they moved to Long Bar! I remember it, or I hope I do (!),  in the right place, on ground floor. Snooker room, under which tiger was shot, still there! When I was taken to my room, I found there were in fact 5 rooms. I said that I didn't order a suite! The room boy (who wasn't offable!), said the room was from the old days and catered for your servant, and a dining room! Those were the days

I made a right prat of myself in 2003 on the way back from the World Cup in Sydney, as made a stop over in Singapore. Walked in through the front door of Raffles, semi saluted the Indian guard in full regimental dress as I passed, walked into the lounge bearing left expecting the cacophony of people talking and laughing, only to find the area was as quiet as a library. Said in a somewhat loud voice, "Where's The Longbar gone?". 

It's now at the back of the hotel; Sir. To which I then said, "What, you mean the staff quarters". 

It had been 26 years since I was last there.

Had a great evening drinking Slings and throwing monkey nut shells on the floor.
