There's one of those crazy roundabouts in Hemel Hempstead as well, need eyes like a spider to get through them

Must be like Sleepy Hollow compared with the Gallows roundabout on the A12 / A127 (which is even worse now the flyover has been closed for repairs). You really have to floor it, even in a powerful car, and loonies dart past behind you literally inches away.

But apparently one called the Army and Navy roundabout, further on, is like the Cannonball Run. Not experienced it myself though, which probably explains why I'm still alive to post here.

I quite like that

No, but they did once send me to a room that was already occupied by somebody else, and another time they lost my booking and had to put me in a room adapted for disabled people... which was on the first floor

I was working for Travel Inn years ago when they migrated to a new reservation system, which I think must win the award for worst named software ever. It was called BART - Big Awesome Reservation Thingy

Only Magic ones.

Someone here has produced two different routes to an exit. A "tourist" path and a "pro driver" path. I imagine there are some interesting things one could do with graph theory here, such as find the longest paths that don't cross, etc, but can't be arsed to think about it.

Don't they also drive the wrong way around roundabouts?

I went to a wedding in Swindon where I stayed in a room normally let to the disabled, I got absolutely boloxed so the guide rails and spacious bathroom floor came in handy.

But did you ever turn up to find that your room had been given to someone else & that they were full?

I was ever so pleased that evening...

They did that regular. Many times put someone up for the night at my gaff up the hill.

Oh, and that reminds me where that lovely fold up bed is.

I spent 9 months of my life in that Travel Inn out towards the M5...

I trump you with eleven months in Edgware

The Thistle Hotel next to GCHQ has some really good special offers.

At the moment they are advertising 75 per off their leisure centre membership.

Anybody living in Cheltenham will know it used to be called The Golden Valley and it was this hotel which was used for the Crossroads itv soap.

It is worth phoning them direct because they will negociate their prices.

I am using their leisure Centre at the moment because Leisure at Cheltenham was flooded out last July and Cheltenham Borough council are so so slow in getting the work done to reopen. For God's sake the pool still had dirty water in it in November. When they actually emplied the pool they found many fish swimming around.
