Unusual start for an episode... we're actually outside the hotel! And no faulty signage They should have jumbled up the letters on the hospital name |

Oh the Major! What a sweet racist he is... It's not even so-called 'casual' racism/xenophobia - got a bit of an edge to it, honed over a lifetime of lording it over the 'natives'. |
