Some Good News If You Have the Misfortune To Be Called Guy Fawkes

Where: United Kingdom

Know anyone called Guy Fawkes? Or Catherine Wheel? No? Us neither. Funny, because from the offer that Future Inns has announced this morning, there’d be quite a few.

Here’s the offer, in all its resounding, poor-grammared idiocy:

There is hope for some Guys Fawkes’ [sic] this November: Whilst many will be hoisted to the top of bonfires as people across the UK prepare for fifth of November celebrations, leading hotel brand Future Inns has pledged to protect other ‘Guys’ around the UK by offering a free room for the night.”

Neat idea, you’re thinking. You’ll probably tell your friend Guy about this one. Except, no you won’t. Because the offer isn’t open to people called Guy. It’s purely for people called Guy Fawkes. And we would happily lay money on not being able to find one in time to claim his free room (worth a whole £69, or $113), come November 5 (the offer runs from 5-11 November, in case you’d like to have a go).
