Where is the strangest place you have slept?'lardaholics anonymous' was bored and started a new question over in the old question, so the least we can do is make it official. What with New Year's celebrations coming up, asking for the strangest place you have slept is nicely appropriate too.
In case you are wondering, Portsmouth beach in the fog. Very strange waking up to that.

No-one will noticeI have become a dab-hand at discovering empty offices and at one place I worked, would regulalry lock myself into one and lie on the floor for after-lunch 40 winks.
I was working on a contract in Whitehall and failed to find an empy office anywhere, so had to resort to the split paperclips on the floor trick (drop them over the floor and put your feet against the door while you kip so it looks as if you're picking them up when you get woken up) only it doesn't work if your boss can look through the door and see you sleeping!
I was at an exhibition in Madrid and by the afternoon, the late Spanish nights were catching up with me - so I crept under the stairs at the top of a stair well - but was woken by the security guard waving his pistol at me.
So the next day I went up the same stair well and then up the steps that lead to the roof emergency exit and slept with my body on the platform and legs on the stairs - I heard him doing his rounds but he didn't spot me.
Length? It was only 1/2 hour!
