I never bothered joining the o and c

me neither so fa 

No, but I’m eligible

No but a good mate is in the RAC. I like it but it’s a bit impersonal. Never been much interested in the O&C. 

thought about it, also AA, but ended up with Green Flag

I love the O&C but their Country Membership extends to like 150 miles outside London, or something ridiculous. 

I mean, Town Membership

lame post from Guy

you know full well we are referring to Pall Mall clubs

Guy isn’t a very clubbable chap. Thats why he uses commercial accommodation (eg the savoy) when in town. 

I believe he bones his FWB there, so fair play; I bone my mistress there too

Ooo i didn’t think laz was going to lay into guy. Still saved me making a harsh comment about th e lamest of lame jokes

You're all so very clever. 

Also laz, she rinsed him for a night there but didn’t put out. 

No such thing as the RAC club. 

she rimmed him there? fair play

p.s. scep tick OOH OOH OOH CLEVER CLEVER

Heh. I thought he got left with blue balls. I can never remember the full story. It’s one of the better RoF incidents of recent times. 

I read your post as meaning she ate his arse

I haven’t been there for well over a decade but isn’t the RAC basically a commercial hotel/health club these days (with prices and service ethos to match) not sure I see the point of that really.

A good friend is a member of the O&C and I have stayed there. It’s a bit of an odd place but the bedrooms are fairly nice. They aren’t cheap though. 

They're remarkably cheap. A 5* hotel in Lonion costs £350+ a night nowadays. 

The clubs aren’t 5 star.

I'm the Rag but it's not 5* by any means.  I've always found RAC incredibly pompous...full of pretentious old boys who frown on you if not wearing club tie.  Food is pretty good there though.

Don't care. I'd rather stay in the club. It's one of the few bearable aspects of visiting London, along with the London Library. 

The rooms that are even remotely comparable to a 5 star hotel (i.e. the fancy ones that are relatively recently renovated) are well over 300 quid though dux.  Decentish value at peak times when the hotels are charging peak rates I guess. 

There are windowless cupboards for a lot less but not sure I fancy that. 

I often stay at the RSM. Probably the same as a good 4* in terms of the rooms. Usually about £200 a night. In the past you’d often get offers for £120 especially at weekends but I’ve not seen it less than £180 for ages. Nothing is cheap. 

Yes, I am a member of the RAC. TBH I rarely use it and prefer going to the Soho Houses - I'm not a member but my GF and a few friends are.

I'm not a member of either but i know them both well.

O&C is quite nice.  Good squash Courts, lovely library, reasonable bar.  Decent wine list.

RAC is very comfortable and handy if you like swimming.  A bit like a hotel.  Slightly drab, to my mind.

Neither really has any social cachet at all, if that's what you're thinking of.   

I lived in my Pall Mall club for 3 months in my 20s.  It was an unusual thing to do, at the time - probably still is - but it was rather wonderful.

I'm a country member....

And we do remember.

Too right you cant, I never actually went to the Savoy,  was expecting Lockdown prices, perhaps £200-£300 but no such luck.

Guy I think you said it was an annual thing with her? What have you paid for since?

Guy if that’s all you’ll pay no wonder she won’t put out.
