A Life In The Honeymoon Suite: 22 Years In A Travelodge

THE Express does not comment on David and Jean Davison’s sex life. It does not pry.

All we know if that David and Jean live in a Travelodge and though they seem to be aged 79 and 70, respectively, they could be many years older.

Given the motel chain’s reputation as a den of lunchtime inseminations, it might be that the story is less that David and Jean have been living in a Travelodge for 22 years than that their better halves have been waiting over two decades for the lovers to return from posting a letter.

But the story, as told by the Express, is that David and Jean reside at a motel in Grantham.

“We get great rates because we book well in advance and all our bed linen is laundered too,” says David, pictured holding a cup of tea and enjoying views of the A1. “It doesn’t get much better than that, does it?”

This is a rhetorical question because David swiftly delivers his coup de grace.

“We only have to walk across the car park for meals as there is a Little Chef here too.”
And so the argument is with David. It does not get much better than this, although David and his lover did relocate to their current home from a Travelodge in Newark.
A spokesman for Travelodge is not unresponsive to his patron’s loyalty.

Says Paul Anstey: “To recognise their loyalty, we are going to rename their room from Number One to the Davidson’s Suite and mount a plaque in reception celebrating their 10th anniversary.”

Great days, and no little sense of achievement. Can the same be said of Clive in sales or his new associate Ms Smith..?
