What to do with "spare" Is this a commercial opportunity?

Lorenzo Sciotti is one of the driving forces behind a new enterprise looking at renting hotel rooms out for a few hours to romantic couples.  The two weathermen looked at other walk-in scenarios.

Weatherman  1 : There’s a company flogging off hotels in the day for a fews hours so that lovers have a place to go to do whatever it is they do.

Weatherman  2 : That’s a new definition for happy hour.  I suppose it’s better than a grope in a park behind the bushes.

WM 1 : They are trying to make use of under-used facilities during the day time. It benefits the lovers and of course the hotels. 

WM 2 : It’s a good idea. I would imagine the spouses of people having affairs would disagree, but having a husband who is unfaithful AND who caught flu when he stripped off in December in a park is worse. If you husband is going to sleep around, you don’t want him bringing anything home - certainly not a cold. 

WM1 : Lorenzo said it wasn’t just lovers; they were targeting people who needed rest, a bit of exercise, or wanted a swimming pool or a spa. 

WM 2 : That’s a good excuse for the wife “you don’t understand dear - it’s exercise.” I’ve seen people who live near airports hire out their driveways for parking, so it’s not new. 

WM 1 : They could broaden it out. We all need things from time to time which aren’t available. I bet Ikea is quiet first thing in the morning. On a wet day, they could let joggers run around the store. I always felt it was half marathon by the time I got to the checkout….

WM 2 : And what about those guys underneath their bonnets on the street on a Sunday. They could go to Kwik Fit and hire their spanners.

WM 1 : I bet lots of people who play the piano fancy a tickle sometimes when no piano is available. How about a concert hall opens its doors and you can play on their Steinway. No children and sticky fingers though. 

WM 2 : How about an allotment where you can do some therapeutic weeding?

WM 1 : As long as the visitor doesn’t dig up your beetroot. 

WM 2 : And there could be walk in language tutors. “Je peut parle avec vous pour cinq minutes.” And if hotels can sell cheap beds in the day, offices can sell their desks for night-time pen pushers. 

WM 1 : Museums could open in the dark across the night but not turn the lights on. Bring your own torch and the admission fee is reduced.

WM 2 : And Facebook has spawned unlikely groups that need places to meet. Marry a profession and a hobby, and there’s a new group. They can use the schools in summer. Roald Dahl for lorry drivers need rooms.

WM 1 : You’re kidding. there isn’t is there? 

WM 2 : Not sure. I’ve seen very odd ones. There’s a running group for psychotherapists so probably there’s one for dentists and heart surgeons who play ice hockey. 

WM 1 : Ice skating is inviting bad teeth though, but the fear of falling gets your pulse going - so it’s good for the heart.  

WM 2 : Well from time to time we all fancy a go at something new. I could drop into a building site and say “ hey, I’ve always wanted to learn how to lay a few bricks” and the bricky could show me.

WM 1 : Just as long as it doesn’t become the show home. “who layed that course?” the buyer asked and he is told it was done by a farmer practising before he built a new cow shed. 

WM 2 : Farms…must be loads of things they could let you do for a couple of hours.  Not sure what you borrow a cow for though.

WM 1 : It’s going to mean extra work for cleaners. Every Steinway has to be wiped down and every bed needs new sheets. 

WM 2 : It’s the future. We can let out ourselves. I don’t need my shoes whilst I’m asleep…someone could hire them. Just as long as they don’t step in something.

WM 1 : Bored children can go and read to lonely old people. Lonely people can baby sit. 100% utilisation of everything. No waste, nothing spare.

WM 2 : This good idea is beginning to have an Orwellian creep.
