    As it happens, I've knocked up a little Excel Macro which scrapes the Travellodge site for a given location & the ten nearest travellodges to it from each day from April to December 2012 & returns an Excel Pivot table of the costs on a day to day basis over the whole year. Nobody want's a copy then?
    If they are 5 star Travellodges with the staff trained to provide me with the servitude and attention to detail that my station in life demands, then I'll have a copy

      You get two packets of digestives each day.

      You know what they say about assumptions!

          I could put more money into my pocket by becoming vegetarian and moving to Elephant and Castle, but I choose not to.

            That sounds rather good. I would like a copy. Thanks MF

                  Yeah I'd like a copy please.
                  Rather not give them more money than I have to.
                  Classic line from them last time I stayed. I booked two nights online. The system won't let you block book the best rates, you have to do it individually. Turned up and spoke to the eastern european receptionist...
                  (read without any pauses)
                  "Hi, I've got a reservation for VirtualMonkey please"
                  "Sure, there you are. Just one night?
                  "No, two"
                  "Ah you should have said...no matter...looks like I can change the second day room to be the same as the first. Could you let me know next time please?"

                    Just bought a Motorhome on the company to save money. Been paying £300 a week just to have access to a gym (fuly chargeable to the client). However, having just been told that the expenses element runs out with the 6 month boom I have been offered, we have bought the motorhome.

                    Don't really like travelodges since staying in one in Southampton which really was a flea pit. This way, I at least get to have an asset out of it all...

                      I'll post the Macro up later this evening after I've refined it. It's a bit cludgy but does the job.
