When you have a dispute with a business over money owed, there’s a right way and a wrong way to handle the situation. If you’re talking about a hotel, the right way would be to talk to the front desk and if that doesn’t work, escalate it to the manager, bring it up on Twitter or, as a last resort, go to litigation.
And then there’s the wrong way. The following is the wrong way…

A while back I wrote a post about towns around the world that had names which, depending on your state of mind, could sound rather adult. Some infamous examples are Blue Balls, Bird-In-Hand and Intercourse, PA. Several people who read the post reached out to me and said they would love to do a trip and get pictures with all of the signs for these towns, like Beaverlick (it’s in Kentucky) and Dicktown (that one’s in New Jersey).
Welp, 2 brothers in the U.K. had the exact same idea, and instead of just wishing about it, decided to do an epic “rude trip” (you see what I did there?) of Britain.

Happy Wednesday to all of our travel friends, both near and far! Here are some articles we’ve read from other bloggers (and other sources) that we think you may like, as well, so we’re passing them along.
It wasn’t Academy Award material, but The Rocky Horror Picture Show, based on the West-End musical The Rocky Horror Show, was released in 1975 and is one of the first cult classic films. Fans still go to midnight screenings, with confetti, toilet paper and water pistols at the ready, nearly 45 years later…
Filmed entirely in England (in just 6 weeks!) in late 1974, the castle exterior, criminologist’s study, Brad’s room, Janet’s room, dining room, Columbia’s room, entrance hall and stairs were all filmed at a castle that, at the time, didn’t have heat or indoor plumbing. Since then, they’ve done a lot of upgrades, and the castle is now functioning as a luxury hotel. Best of all, it’s just about 20 minutes outside of London’s Heathrow Airport!

If you’re a fan of the Harry Potter series, have we found a bed & breakfast for you!
The Georgian House Hotel is a family run boutique B&B in Central London, near Victoria Station. Originally built in 1851, and handed down from generation to generation (the original builder/owner’s great-great-granddaughter has been the current owner since 1987), it currently boasts 63 bedrooms and apartments and has a 5-star rating.
Most rooms, although beautifully and tastefully done in Victorian Classic or Belgravia Boutique styles, are pretty typical of what you’d expect to find in an modernly redecorated building that’s looking forward to its 170th birthday pretty soon.
But they have a few rooms that are specially decorated to enchant Harry Potter fans.
