Do not disturb

Frustrating news for commercial travellers the length and breadth of the nation, budget hotel chain Travelodge is expected to announce the removal of all pornographic pay-per-view TV channels from its 20,000 bedrooms.

After a long day spent sitting in contraflows and drinking plastic tea attempting to convince a firm to purchase laser printers our Vectra driving reps will no longer be able to relax in a gentleman's fashion.

The company has billed the move as part of its attempts to attract more families with children. I must confess that if I was taking bookings at a hotel and somebody enquired as to the availability of porn in the room before they decide whether to bring their children, I might raise a quizzical eyebrow. Selah.

I've been critical of the 'Adult content' in British hotels for quite some time; I suspect the details of my complaint might be somewhat different.
