just like the character from Orwell's dystopian novel "1984", his name was Winston Smith too. Rest easy my son, things are not as bad as they were perceived in that novel! The original enquirer,in this thread, was wanting a list of hotels which may contain bedbugs in their bedding. Commonsense dictates that this is not possible. Human nature dictates, that if you have been travelling for weeks/months & sleeping in overcrowded dorms, when you get the chance for a dose of privacy & affordable luxury, you take it. When you get into the room, you place the backpack on the bed (usually) & unpack.......then away go all those little critters into the dark crevices of the bed/room.
Now Winston, will this get me another prize for weirdness. I thought it a very simple scenario really. BTW did the OTHER Winston Smith smoke funny cigarettes???
