Stocking call puzzles hotel

Budget hotel chain Travelodge has released a list of 
the most bizarre requests its hotels have received from guests this month during the festive break.

These included a tourist at the Edinburgh Central hotel on Queen Street who emailed in advance to ask: “Would be ok to hang our stocking in reception so that Santa can find it easily?”

It also included one embarrassed guest who forgot to purchase a gift for his father, only to ask staff: “Do you have a spare tie that I could give my dad?”
