So you're comparing the wearing of wristbands in luxury hotels with the wearing of wristbands whilst queuing for welfare. Well I for one would not pay good money to stay in an hotel that made me wear a wristband. I might expect to be asked to show my ticket or something like that (rarely, one hopes), but wear a wristband? Anyone in a posh hotel who asked me to do that would rapidly discover that they possessed an unwelcome rubbery circular intrusion inside their jobsworth's bottom. You've been staying in the wrong places. Avoid those Daily Mail last-minute holiday ads is my advice, Keith.
