A local man is being hailed as some sort of hero after managing to return home from a stay in a hotel with both the toothbrush and the iPhone charger he took with him.
Steve Dickinson, 42 and a half, from Rochdale apparently pulled off the incredible feat of memory following a stay at the five star Shangri La Hotel in Milnrow in Lancashire.
Researchers from around the world have suggested that this may be the first time in recorded history that a man has managed to remember to bring his toothbrush home with him following a stay in a hotel.
“It’s certainly the first recorded case of not forgetting your toothbrush.” Joanie Mnemonic, Researcher in Paranormal Affairs at Rochdale Community University told The Rochdale Herald.
“What makes this instance so incredible is that he also didn’t leave his iPhone charger plugged in beside the bed too. Doing the double is particularly impressive.”
“We’re hoping that as soon as Steve finds his wallet and car keys he’ll pop down here so we can run some tests on him. We really want to wire him up to some electrodes and maybe do an MRI. Men don’t usually remember things like toothbrushes.”
Steve’s wife Barbara said: “We’re all very proud of Steve. His memory is excellent, only last week he remembered to put the bin out and now this.”
“As soon as he gets off the phone to the Shangri La about whether or not they have managed to find his wallet, car keys and driving licence I’ll ask him to give you a call.”
“I’m sure he’ll want to give you a quote.”
