This winter has been unusually cold in Britain. In response, three Holiday Inn hotels there are offeering to provide guests with bed-warmers. Human bed-warmers.

If requested, a willing staff-member at two of the chain's London hotels and one in the northern English city of Manchester will dress in an all-in-one fleece sleeper suit before slipping between the sheets.
Holiday Inn said the warmer would be fully dressed and leave the bed before the guest occupied it. They could not confirm if the warmer would shower first, but said hair would be covered.

Sky: "Plankton! What does your Earth-Mother do for a living?"
Plankton: "My Earth-Mother is a bed-warmer for Holiday-Inn!"
Sky: "Woah! That's cool!"
Plankton: "No, she can't be cool, otherwise she will lose her Green Job!"
A few Saturday's ago where I live (Edmonton, Alberta) for a brief while we were the coldest place on Earth. Read that again, we were officially THE COLDEST PLACE ON EARTH.
We spent two months below -20 celsius in the run up to Christmas.
People need to visit somewhere REALLY cold and then stop bothering the nice Holiday Inn people with their asinine requests for a warm bed.
Holiday Inn should just say "Okay Sir" and set fire to the bed. "Warm enough now, Sir?"
...Bizarre........
This story smacks of nonsense.
I seriously doubt this is anything more than a publicity stunt.
It would've been helpful to have these bed warmers...
What is the proper tip for a bed warmer? Do you pay more if the room is colder, or if the warmer has more heat?
