Fran Abrams was commissioned by the "Guardian" to work as a night cleaner at the Savoy--living on (or as it turned out, below) the minimum wage. A short version of that experience appeared in the paper in January 2002.

This book, in entertaining prose, sympathetic portraits, and a telling eye for detail reveals all--including the extraordinary differences across the length of Britain.
