Police release spoof pamphlets in Christmas drink crackdown inviting yobs to spend a night at the 'Drunken Disorderly Inn'
At first glance it looks like a glossy brochure for a luxury hotel.
But look a little closer and you will discover the it is the type of establishment you may want to avoid this Christmas.
Police have put together the spoof pamphlets to hand out to revellers celebrating over the festive season.

The brochure says: 'The Drunk and Disorderly Inn offers award winning accommodation whether you are looking for a one night stay or a long weekend away.
'We offer guests everything they need and are conveniently located within easy reach of all town centre pubs, clubs and courts.
'The atmosphere is truly unique and the lack of natural light only adds to the ambience. We never turn guests away and when demand is high we can offer alternative accommodation.'
It boasts: 'The bedrooms are minimalistic chic created for you with economy in mind' and 'Warm food lovingly reheated in seconds served on real plastic plates with plastic cutlery.'

Each of Greater Manchester Police's 12 divisions will have their own version of the brochure
'It offers troublemakers: 'An unforgettable experience in five golden handcuffs status en suite accommodation with wipe clean mattresses.'
It adds a special offer 'weekend break' which promises: 'Get detained on Saturday and stay with us until you go to court Monday - an arresting offer you won't be allowed to refuse.'
And it even mocks up testimonials from former guests - one of whom says: 'It was the worst night of my life. The bloke in the next cell didn't shut up for 24 hours.'
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/12/11/article-0-07906FF7000005DC-892_306x437.jpg The leaflet boasts about Manchester's 'premiere accommodation with lots of bars'
Another says: 'We just had a bit of a fight but they kept us till Monday. Now we're banned from every pub in town.'
The brochure by Greater Manchester Police also boasts: 'All major credit cards and belongings confiscated. Sturdy locks on all doors as standard. All guests entered onto our national database and free shuttle bus to the doorstep (with secure cage).'
Each of Greater Manchester Police's 12 divisions will have their own version of the brochure featuring a photo of their divisional headquarters on the cover.
It is just one of the tactics being used by police to discourage revellers from fighting, swearing, shouting, criminal damage and other drunken behaviour.
Assistant Chief Constable Terry Sweeney said: 'Thousands of people go out to pubs and clubs to celebrate Christmas and the New Year - but we are determined that they can do so without falling victim to drunken violence and anti social behaviour.
'With this brochure and the increase in policing activity we want to send out a clear message to potential offenders that drunken behaviour will not be tolerated.
'If your conduct qualifies you for a stay with us then rest assured that we will find you. In the run-up to Christmas we will be deploying extra resources to pubs and clubs and working closely with local councils and pub watch schemes to monitor CCTV and utilise radio links with uniformed and plain clothed patrol officers.
'We'll also use DNA, fingerprints and other forensic opportunities to catch those who insist on spoiling a good night out.'
The brochure concludes: 'Your night out - your choice. Will you spend it with us? Our services await those who spoil a good night out in our town by fighting, swearing and shouting. Now taking books for Christmas and New Year.'
