Room with a View

My name is Derek F and I worked in London for British Oxygen organising and attending various exhibitions for the Welding Division overseas. On this occasion I was staying at the Athenee Palace hotel in Bucharest. On arrival I was allotted a room first floor front overlooking the street which, in the very early morning, was busy and noisy. I therefore asked our local representative to arrange for a room change. Whilst waiting at reception on arriving back at the hotel that evening I noticed from the visitor's book that Derek F was now in a room on the third floor rear and was pleased that our representative had acted so quickly. I asked for the key to that room but it was not in its place. I went to the third floor and asked a chambermaid to open the door. There was an unopened case belonging to Derek F from London but, alas, not mine. I never did meet my namesake.
