      Every winter I donate a three-figure sum to the Salvation Army, who have the experience needed to deal with this kind of situation. Premier Inns do not have that experience.

      Sadly, there is a high incidence of mental health problems amongst the homeless. It is naive in the extreme to just expect a hotel chain to mix up ordinary guests with homeless people.

  14. In a day full of surprises, a shocking and revealing statement to the media by Captain Kernow's wallet reveals that he is being held under virtual house arrest. 'I don't get out much', said Tarquin the wallet, 'in fact, I can't remember the last time I ever saw the inside of a model shop'. Captain Kernow himself was unavailable for comment today and is reported to have gone into seclusion in order to meditate on the aesthetic merit of a 16XX.
