Hotel SplendidoEnzyme writes, "what about awful hotels, B&Bs, or friends' houses where you've had no choice but to stay the night?"
What, the place in Oxford that had the mattresses encased in plastic (crinkly noises all night), the place in Blackpool where the night manager would drum to the music on his ipod on the corridor walls as he did his rounds, or the place in Lancaster where the two single beds(!) collapsed through metal fatigue?
Add your crappy hotel experiences to our list.

RAF Northoltback long ago as a budding little air cadet we went on a weeks camp to RAF Northolt in London
loads of teenage cadets packed into small rooms aint fun
i was lucky and was only with one other person from my squadron and our room was the only one with a sink
unfortunately my roomate had scratched his finger badly and was in danger of tetanus or sumthing. couldnt swallow pills whole (never understood that)
so he brought a spoon and a tub of chocolate spread so he could mix the powder with the spread to make it taste nicer, as you do
Tries this the first time round gags and spits it back up into the sink, it blocks. Washing it out does nothing and it just stays in the bowl
The only bedroom to have a sink in it. Not happy
Had to use the communal toilets (no hot water till the last day) where some retarded cadet had shat everywhere as retards tend to do sometimes
nightmare of a holiday

To be fair......what did you expect? It was in Northolt. I get shivers just thinking of that place.

A room? A ROOM?When I was in the Space Cadets, we had tents on summer camp and liked it.

^What the Duck said...We had tents just behind the gates of RAF Wittering. I'll never forget sneaking out of the tent for a cigarette and coming face-to-face with a MOD Plod and his Dog. I was sure I was for the chop til he said:
"We'll not say a word if you give me a cigarette too..."
I thought it was the height of luxury the following year, sharing dorms at St. Athan...
Great days though! 999 Dunmow FTW!

on a later excursionwe wound up DofE-ing on Anglesey (wet & windy most of the time) on Mona airfield
waking up in the middle of the night to stars and gale force winds made me hate Anglesey all the more that day, its just useless
