    GUESTS staying at a Hull hotel have presented staff with some of the strangest requests in the country, Travelodge has revealed.

    The chain, which caters for 17 million customers each year, has today reported the most bizarre things guests have asked for over the past 12 months.

    The list for the Pryme Street hotel, in Hull city centre, includes:
    • Can you arrange for Hull City boss Steve Bruce to come and sign an autograph for me?
    • Can you arrange for my ferry to set off later?
    • Can you please write me a letter in Dutch for my boss?
    • Can you help my son with his geography homework? I'm a bit stuck.
    • Is it possible to buy one of your puppets from the advert?
    • Is anyone in the team free to attend a meeting with me today and pretend to be my assistant?

    The world's full of mentalists.

    What do they expect, you'd have to be a mentalist to stay in a travelodge

    The bottom one is my favourite. Sounds like an Alan Partridge situation.

    Whereas " Could you send a couple of girls up to my room, please " would be seen as the norm.

    I bet someone has asked for that Romanian student who was turned away a few months ago.

    I'd have said "ladies" Kemps but each to their own.

    I heard they misunderstood a blokes request, thinking he wanted a transvestite from Manchester, when all he said is that he needed a man with a Wigan address.
