The Travelodge library

PING! Trawling through emails and the words “Hilton Dumped at Travelodges” scream out from a list of subject lines.

Is this a wisecracking PR from Travelodge mocking rival hotel giant Hilton?

Surely not. It is in fact the title of a press release plugging the results of a survey carried out by Travelodge to discover the top five books – all autobiographies, interestingly – left behind in its chain of hotels.

Just in case anyone is remotely interested:

1 – Paris Hilton (thus the, erm, clever title of the email)
2 – Jose Mourinho
3 – Jordan
4 – Jade Goody
5 – Sir Alex Ferguson

[NB: This is not a blatant attempt to improve the Travolution Blog's search rankings by targeting eager fans of the US socialite, Hilton.]
