A Country Fit for Heroes

From the BBC News Website

Soldier is refused room at hotel

A soldier home on leave after being injured in Afghanistan was refused a room by a hotel when he showed his military ID card at reception.
Corporal Tomos Stringer, 23, from Gwynedd, was visiting a wounded colleague in Surrey when he was turned away from the Metro Hotel in Woking.
He spent the night in his car after being told it was management policy not to accept military personnel.

The Metro Hotel is owned by a company called American Amusements Ltd, also based in Woking. No-one was available to comment.
