Yes, at last, I have left the purgatory known as Travelodge. Never again will I have to darken their door for a long stay. (I may still use one on occasion for overnight stays if I have to, but more than one night? Not a bloody chance)
In fairness to them, one thing that has been good is that they’ve got most of the sound-proofing thing working pretty well. You don’t hear people next door, or above or below. This is a Good Thing. Of course, you still hear people walking past the door, and the fire doors rattle like the Gates of Hell, but there we go. That’s life.
Next week I’m in a posh place, and then back to the original B&B the week after. Suits me.

Do you ever look at an email that’s been “personalised” (i.e. data about your preferences, or the other things you’ve bought from the same company, has been used to modify the content so that it’s more ‘targeted’ towards you) and just think “Man, they’ve got that one so wrong”.
Today’s example came to me from those uber-twunts of the gig-ticket world, TicketMaster. The subject line, to get my attention, was – um –
Lyle, don’t miss Lionel Ritchie
Wow, how wrong can one line get?
