The View rain down from above

• 22nd Jan 2007

Dundee band The View have been banned from the Travelodge chain after causing thousands of pounds of damage at their Liverpool hotel back in November. According to the Daily Record, staff at the hotel were forced to break into the band's room after someone left taps running, leaving water cascading into rooms below. The band have reportedly now been presented with a bill for seven grand and told they will not be welcome at any Travelodge in the future.

A spokesman for the hotel chain said last week: “The View are banned from every Travelodge in the country. We don't care who they are, they acted offensively and were anti-social to other residents. They are not welcome back. This rock and roll behaviour is not acceptable. People come to us for a good night's sleep and we have to be mindful of that.”

Gutted, guess now the band'll have to stay in a decent hotel!
