    Thats it Stroller, the first 5 were all colonial style hotels in Singapore, Malaysia, Burma and Indonesia, run by members of the Sarkies family, who were originally Armenian.

    All except the Crag Hotel are still operating and all are worth a visit.

    Well I can't be certain that you're wrong, but it's not what I'm looking for!

    Do we sing a song to the tune of Bolero? I don't know the tune so I'm not sure.

    Bolero is the connection alright, but I'm going to to need a fuller explanation.

    We'd all be happy if it was heard more often.

    Had to be one of York, Kent or Gloucester, I guessed right first time.

    What was the last piece of allied territory to be liberated at the end of WW2?
