In this picture that I took a few days ago, we have three different styles of architecture all existing side by side in harmony. We have (from left to right) modern, old and 20th century.

Oddly enough Bobby I'd say (From left to right); modern, Gothic, postmodern.
But I'm much more about tenements and townhouses and so could be wrong

I think that you could be right! Isn’t it wonderful when buildings of all walks of life can happily co-exist? It is a lesson that we could ALL learn from.
Would you like to see the view of Brutalist 20th century architecture from my Travelodge window?

I can't say that I like Brutalism Bobby, I wish they'd named it something different as it is indeed brutal to look at. Post war soviet style that the West adopted for some reason and are now tearing down (And rightly so!).
But, go on!

Just let me double check that I’m not reflected in the window and….nope, that should be fine.

There is an art to it Bobby, but I'm not sure if ugly art is something governments should be putting up for public service

See, if my windows faced the other way, I’d have been looking at this old church instead (which is now some sort of medicine museum).
My room was third floor with the windows facing our left.

Old church view would have put the price up by a tenner I reckon Bobby
I know Travelodge don't do that, but that'll be an under the counter manoeuvre for those who know

Sometimes they give me a ‘super room’ even though I didn’t pay for one.

That's for when they've got repeat customers who they want to keep sweet during off-season Bobby
It's a nice trick and it's not harming anyone

Socks in a kettle and then boil the socks?
