Man spends the night in U.K. jail, gives it 3 out of 5 stars

A man who was held overnight at a British jail provided the police station with a handwritten, TripAdvisor-style review of his cell the next morning. He gave it three out of five stars, a rating the local chief inspector of police called "a little harsh."

"Once in my cell I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and décor," the man wrote, describing the room as "neutrally decorated to please all parties but done to a high standard."

The prisoner's one major complaint was that he noticed "a pubic hair near the toilet." But after "closer inspection," he added, "the ginger hint of colour and length would probably suggest it was mine. Sorry."
