Soldier on leave after being injured in Afghanistan refused hotel room because he was in the army


UK - Cpl Tomos Stringer, from Gwynedd, north-west Wales, was turned away from the Metro Hotel in Woking, Surrey. He had travelled to the area to help with preparations for the funeral of a friend killed in action and needed to stay over night. After showing his army pass when asked for identification by the hotel's receptionist, Cpl Stringer was told "we don't accept military personnel here" and that this was "company policy", according to his mother Gaynor.
He spent the night in his car after failing to find any other available accomodation late on a Sunday evening, she said. More... Magazine Lane - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - Mothers Work
