Most of us appreciate a hotel with good service and are quick to criticize those that don't provide it. We like the fluffy towels, the heated toilet seat, all the TV channels, the fruit bowl and whatever additional niceties we can muster.
Your list of "now that's pampering" might be different than mine but I suspect we agree that a hotel in the UK has overstepped whatever pampering boundaries exist. How? By supplying bed warmers.
So what's wrong with that you ask. Your mental image is probably some high tech hot water bottle or heating pad or designer label bed socks. All of these are toasty, practical -- and, in this case, completely wrong.
Shift your mental image -- big time. Think live person. Think live person in pj's. Think live person in pj's rolling around in your bed. Live person in pj's gets out. You get in. Granted the bed is warm but is this nighty-night or a nightmare?
What qualifications do you need to get a "bed warmer" job? Are candidates asked about their hygiene habits? I assume it's part-time with evening hours only. Jammies supplied? Are you supposed to watch? Chat? Do they work for tips? How much?
Even though the administration's looking for ways to create jobs, keep your fingers crossed that "bed warmer" isn't on the Labor Department's list of promising new careers.

I would totally be a bed-warmer for Pearce Brosnan.
