Lowe remains ‘philosophical’ on Amex mix-up

An update on that Frank Lowe Amex bill which went so disastrously astray in Manhattan recently (MW, November 3).

Word reaches the Diary that the Lowell Hotel has issued a handsome apology to Mr and Mrs Lowe, after the bill inexplicably arrived under the door of Martin Sorrell – who happened to be staying in the hotel at the same time.

Lowe has decided to be philosophical about the incident: “I’m just amazed this was ever divulged. Tacky, isn’t it?” Had he contacted Sorrell about the indiscretion? “Certainly not,” he says.
