The Grauniad are correct.
It's not "An otel" you stupid fucking newsreader cunt, it's "A HOTEL" FFS.
Do you have an S.R.M. power meter?
Do you have a stick.
Both nouns begin with S, but you pronounce the letter S "Ess" therefore the acronymic S.R.M begins with a silent "E", which is a vowel, so you can use "An".
But never think you can get away with removing an existing consonant, such as the magnificent "H" in the mighty "Hotel" just to try and crowbar the "an" instead of "a". You will die, horribly and painfully, if I catch you doing that.
