Hotel chain Travelodge is reporting a substantial increase in the incidence of naked sleepwalking by guests. A seven-fold increase in cases (over 400, the vast majority, 95%, being men) has been reported by over the last year. As a result the company's management have commenced training staff in how to deal with the situation.
The guests involved usually end up in reception asking for a newspaper or requesting a check-out, according to the hotel chain, which blames stress, alcohol abuse and lack of sleep for the phenomenon. A guide being issued to staff includes a suggestion that towels to be kept in reception to protect guests' modesty.
Hmm This could be the perfect foil for puns about skyclad somnambulists but sadly I can’t think of any. I must be slipping...
Some people will use any excuse for strutting their stuff.
ReplyDeleteLOL but asking for a newspaper is a bit surreal perhaps!
ReplyDeleteWhy can't they just offer one of those old-fashioned barrels with straps attached to cover up the guests?
ReplyDeleteTake pictures, and then find out if they're important people or have any wealth and blackmail them.
Hmm I wonder if space considerations come into play. Perhaps they are reserved for more upmarket hotels like teh Savoy where service and tradition goe hand in hand!
ReplyDeleteThere's not much chance of snapping a celeb in the buff at a Travelodge, some blackmail pickings among sales reps. perhaps!
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't me... I never stayed in Travelodge.
