Cherie Blair & Russell Brand are abandoned in a hotel room
John Prescott, Cherie Blair and Russell Brand are in a hotel room. No, not the start of a bad joke but the results of a report into abandoned books.
The literary works of the politician, politicians wife and the freakishly haired comedian are the most likely to be discarded in UK hotel rooms, it has been found.
Hotel chain Travelodge says over 7,000 books are left in their rooms each year and over the past 12 months they decided to see which were the most abandoned.
They found John Prescott's 'Prezza: My Story: Pulling No Punches' topped the charts with 'My Booky Wook' by Russell Brand in second place and the Cherie Blair, autobiography 'Speaking For Myself' in third.
In one Travelodge alone they found 12 copies of ‘The Cell’ by Stephen King left behind. More disturbingly there was also a copy of ‘The best 50 love making positions for the over 50s.'
Paul Anstey, Travelodge Operations Director said: "Annually 7,000 books are left behind in Travelodge hotels, the most popular being autobiographies, chick lit and thriller books.
"This summer we have found a number of money saving books, revealing just how much the credit crunch is taking hold."

1. Prezza – Pulling no punches John Prescott
