Is it ...
a) A piece of pure luck
or b) Something about my looks / manner
or c) A very clever database app
that lead me to be upgraded when I check in to the Radisson in Glasgow last night?

The Radisson is a modern hotel in the heart of Glasgow - just a couple of streets from where I'm running an Apache httpd and Tomcat course. A little up market from my norm, but convenient for the location, and heck why not for one night? But, yes I was suprised to be upgraded and found myself wondering "why". I'm going to put it down to a trained checkin operator, seeing a business credit card offered and finding from the database that I had never stayed with the chain before.
