Premier Inns are easily as good as hotels twice the price that do not regard themselves as "budget". IMO. Travel Lodge is a different kettle of fish though - my in-laws got a nasty rash from the one in Brighton.....

Yes. Albion fans collide with Reading travellers was a fairly misleading thread title too, I was expecting to read about a mass brawl in the Reading 'Spoons.

They was probably Albion fans going by how scruffy many of our fans were at the match....Third world clothing is a compliment.

This does not surprise me in the slightest.
When I returned from service in Germany to the UK and had to look for a GP, I was turned away from several locally, as they were apparently "full". I had to write to Lewes and they allocated me a practice at the other end of town. This was not a big deal and I thought nothing more of it. A few years later, I attended a meeting about the likely static venues that could be offered to travellers in Hastings. A rep.from the local Council got up and said that a huge advantage of such a site is that when they arrive, someone from the Council could meet them and direct them to the nearest surgery and school.
I have no objection to any human being treated for illness, and agree their children's welfare and education are paramount, but inevitably one reflects on the unfairness of the situation, made that shade worse by the suspicion that whilst I had paid into the pot for 35 years, the travellers had contributed, shall we say, considerably less.

From todays Argus :-
A CLEAN-UP and the theft of two lawnmowers has left a bill of more than £35,000.
Two mowers worth £33,000 belonging to Brighton and City Council were reported stolen from a Cityparks depot.
The thefts were reported to Sussex Police after an unauthorised encampment of traveller vehicles left the site at the end of last month.
The mowers are covered on insurance - but the total clear-up and repair bill also included more than £2,500 to replace bollards and padlocks as well as the cost of clearing up human waste from the site.
More than a dozen vehicles broke through protective barriers to get on to the site off the A27 at Hove on October 13 and stayed for more than a week while the council pursued legal action to evict them.
Health and safety risks were raised over the presence of children and adults walking close to the entrance for the Cityparks depot meaning council workers were not able to use the site for several days.
Complaints were also made to councillors that children had scaled a high fence to nearby stables for up to 30 horses and used it as a toilet facility.
Human faeces was also found in wood chip piles and sand at the depot which cost more than £500 to clean up.
Dawn Barnett, Conservative councillor for Hangleton and Knoll, said: “I have no idea how they have got those lawn mowers out of there.
“The costs of this clear-up will again have to come out of the parks department budget and it’s just not fair.”
A Brighton and Hove City Council spokesman said: “Two lawn mowers were stolen from our depot at Hangleton Bottom in mid-October, around the time of the unauthorised traveller encampment there.
“The total replacement value of the mowers is around £33,000.
“Police have been informed and the matter is currently the subject of an insurance claim.
“Some damage to the Hangleton Bottom site occurred during the same period.
“Replacing two bollards cost us £1,920.
“New padlocks and keys cost us around £300, and there were further environmental clear-up costs of just
