Where is the strangest place you have slept?'lardaholics anonymous' was bored and started a new question over in the old question, so the least we can do is make it official. What with New Year's celebrations coming up, asking for the strangest place you have slept is nicely appropriate too.
In case you are wondering, Portsmouth beach in the fog. Very strange waking up to that.

In a public toilet in Hasdin, France......lest that makes me look some sort of perv, I will explain. When I was 18 I went with a mate in his car on a month's camping tour round Europe. The last night he decided he wanted to sleep in a proper bed - quite reasonable since he'd done all the driving. So he checked into a little auberge while I, being too tight to pay £10 for a room, decided to sleep in the car.
Off he went to bed and I checked out the local bars. When they closed I returned to find the car park locked. No way I could get in and being a small guest house I couldn't check in. The only place I could find shelter was the local public toilet - it really was a night on the tiles.
Worst thing was arriving at the hotel next morning soaked, bedraggled and tired to find my mate freshly showered after a good night's sleep. I've never been so tight again.
Apologies for length etc.
