But it was clean the television set worked and it must be said the shower curtain was very nice

But it was clean, the television set worked and, it must be said, the shower curtain was very nice.`Notes from a Big Country’ by Bill Bryson (Doubleday, pounds 16.99) can be purchased at major bookshops or by mail order on 01624 675137. There was a shower curtain, but it hung by just three rings.”It’s got character,” I insisted.”It’s got nits,” said my wife. “We’ll be across the road at the Comfort Inn.”In disbelief, I watched them troop out. “We want a real motel.”My wife, being English, insisted on having a look at the room It was awful, of course The furnishings were battered and threadbare The room was so cold you could see your breath. We passed scores of motels, but they were all part of national chains.

Eventually, after perhaps 90 minutes of futile hunting, I pulled off the interstate for the seventh or eighth time and – lo! – there shining out of the darkness was the Sleepy Hollow Motel, a perfect, Fifties sort of place.”There’s a Comfort Inn across the street,” one of my children pointed out.”We don’t want a Comfort Inn, Jimmy,” I explained, temporarily forgetting in my excitement that I don’t have a child named Jimmy. Everyone thought this was an immensely stupid idea, but I insisted that it would be great.Well, we looked everywhere. They want to stay in the same place, eat the same food, watch the same television wherever they go.Recently, while driving from Washington DC to New England with my own family, I tried explaining this to my children, and got the idea that we should stop for the night at an old-fashioned, family-run place. Holiday Inn, for instance, went from 79 outlets in 1958 to almost 1,500 in less than 20 years. It gave road trips a piquancy that the homogenised refinements of the modern age cannot match.That changed very quickly with the rise of motel chains.

My father, who was one of history’s great cheapskates, was of the view that there was no point in spending money on… Typically, they were built around a generous lawn with shady trees and a flowerbed decorated with a wagon wheel painted white. (The owners, for some reason, generally liked to paint all their rocks white, too, and array them along the edge of the drive.) Often they had a swimming-pool and a gift shop or coffee shop.Indoors they offered measures of comfort and elegance that would have the whole family cooing – thick carpet, purring air-conditioner, a night- stand with a private phone and a built-in radio, a television set at the foot of the bed, a private bath, sometimes a dressing-area, and Vibro- beds, which gave you a massage for a quarter.The second kind of motels were the appalling ones We always stayed at these. It is an awfully dull piece of work, full of sentences like “The needs of both consumers and purveyors of lodging strongly influenced the development of organised systems of distribution” – but I bought the book and devoured it anyway because I love everything about motels.The golden age of motels was also, as it happens, the golden age of me – the Fifties – and I suppose that’s what accounts for my fascination. For anyone who didn’t travel around America by car in the Fifties it is almost impossible now to imagine how thrilling they were.

There is a lot of shooting and a thing with a crane, and Pamela rides a motorbike. Have a nice puberty, and come back when you have seen an old film your grandparents like called Casablanca, which is shamelessly ripped off in the final scene.Parents and grandparents, your treat of the week is another Hitchcock re-release: Rebecca (PG). It sets itself the tricky task of making tapping a keyboard look like a cross between flying a starship, staging a Ninja attack and taking strong drugs, and does so with swirling equations, time-lapse photography and digitally-generated visions of cyberspace, all driven along by the big beat today’s pop kids really dig, daddy-o. It is all very dull, and very sad.Iain Softley’s Hackers (12), a comedy-adventure aimed at children who wear baggy trousers and reversed headgear, concerns implausibly clean- living teenage computer buffs in New York who stumble across a dastardly conspiracy.

This version of Jekyll and Hyde as seen by the housemaid (a rum idea in itself, when you think how much scholars have gone on about the importance of Stevenson’s tale being virtually woman-free) loses the battle the second Mary (Julia Roberts) first opens her mouth and speaks in that pure Irish brogue you only hear in Nashville, Tennessee Worse follows. Ms Roberts’s performance consists largely of tilting her head forward, bugging out her eyes and rolling them from side to side as if imitating a startled faun; John Malkovich’s American-speaking Jekyll and Hyde look so similar that only an advanced opium addict would be fooled; and that genius George Cole, as the Head Butler, is not allowed to be funny. The action is par for the course: not boring enough to make you fidget, not gripping enough to prevent you wondering why the glass of brandy Sigourney Weaver keeps slugging from is always full. Incidentally, the press kit asks reviewers not to give away the surprise ending; a baffling request, since it doesn’t appear to have one.Merciful brevity is the only decent response to Mary Reilly (15), a hideous and baffling crime against the talents of almost all involved, including the director Stephen Frears and the screenwriter Christopher Hampton. Such originality as there is stems from the heroes being female: Holly Hunter as the policewoman, Sigourney Weaver as a psychologist specialising in serial killers, who is rendered agoraphobic after an egregiously sleazy example (Harry Connick Jr) nearly gets her. However, when presented with a movie about a serial killer whose gimmick is to follow the MO of famous real-life SKs from the Boston Strangler to Ted Bundy, and which is itself largely a retread of The Silence of the Lambs (petite female cop with Dixie accent teams up with shut-in shrink to track down multiple murderer), pity does not come readily.

If you pause for a second to examine the state of your ethics, you may find yourself exasperated or dismayed; the trick of the film is to keep you sniggering so steadily that it’s hard to make that effort, and the momentum only falters when it makes the mistake of shifting into romantic-pathetic mode, and tries to shape Jimmy into a real character. (The more plausible Garcia makes him – and he’s as humane a presence as usual – the more cartoon- like the other characters seem). Even saintly Jimmy ought to rumble that Critical Bill may not be that reliable, but he goes ahead, and their little action turns into a very messy piece of work. Denver is undeniably a dazzling calling- card for its writer and director, and it’s a great ride, but when you hear goons repeatedly saying “Give it a name”, one which comes to mind is “hollow”.The title of Copycat (18), directed by Jon Amiel, offers so large and juicy a hostage to fortune that it almost seems churlish to seize on it Almost. The Man, peeved, issues Buckwheats, setting the deadly Mr Shhh (Buscemi) on their tails; Jimmy, meanwhile, has fallen in love with a ski instructor (Gabrielle Anwar).Life turns ugly for all concerned, so ugly that you might guess that Rosenberg started out by goosing himself with the nastiest things he could imagine and then contrived a plot to string them together. He works in a funeral parlour, and when we first meet him, he’s thumping away at a punch-bag which proves to be a corpse.

This, and the flexibility some unions left themselves at their own conferences and in party conference resolutions drafted since, could work in his favour as a summer of negotiation and persuasion wears on, an aide said.But Mr Edmonds, speaking on BBC TV’s Breakfast With Frost yesterday, said: ‘You can’t ask people to pay contributions into the Labour Party and then say ‘you have no democratic rights’.’. He also called for support for a resolution saying that Lloyd’s should allow the members to vote on plans to allow companies to invest in the market for the first time.Neil Shaw, chairman of the association, has urged them to vote against Mr Gurney’s resolutions, arguing that Lloyd’s must be able to act without being threatened by those affected. Rocco was right.Yesterday Forte sold its half- share in the UK arm of Kentucky Fried Chicken to its partner, Pepsico, for about pounds 40m, equivalent to a tasty 25 times after-tax earnings and pounds 35m more than Forte paid for its stake in 1985.Things may be looking up on another disposal. ‘One mistake over them and you’re on the floor with potentially fatal consequences.’And nine times out of 10 when you fall on turf, horses slide along the ground and get up and walk away.

RON BINNS
London E17. If we count from one to 10, the number of numbers is, well, 10! The next set of 10 begins with 11; the same logic applies when you count in hundreds and thousands The Christian calendar goes from 1BC to 1AD There is no year zero None of us can lay claim to living in our 0th year. Even so, the year 2000 is not the beginning of the new millennium. If Dionysius had got his sums right, we should have celebrated the new millennium in what we still call 1996 or 1997.

Sir: The potential problems faced by the gay parents Barrie Drewitt and Tony Barlow arise from a socially and scientifically outmoded section of the British Nationality Act 1981 (“Gay parents fight to win UK citizenship for twins”, 13 December). While the Act states that “a person born outside the United Kingdom … shall be a British citizen if at the time of the birth his father or mother … is a British citizen,” the Act goes on to define “mother” and “father” as including the mother of an illegitimate child but not the father.
This approach derives from the approach taken in a parallel context by Lord Denning in the 1955 Court of Appeal decision of In re M (an infant), where Lord Denning explained: “The reason is that the law of England has from time immemorial looked upon a bastard as the child of nobody, that is to say, as the child of no known body except its mother.”Sir Roger Ormrod in the 1982 decision of R v Secretary of State for the Home Department, ex p Crew recognised that, sociologically, times had moved on and there was “a strong movement to eliminate so far as possible the difference between illegitimate children and legitimate children.” He, instead, put forward a “scientific” explanation, citing “the inescapable fact …

Lonrho had to cancel the flotation of its Metropole and Princess Hotels group after its adviser, SBC Warburg, was unable to guarantee it could achieve an acceptable price for the business.
