I have been to Wellingborough. It's a shithole. My dad lived in a rented house in Kettering for a bit and I spent my 21st birthday there. It had purple carpets and plastic on all the sofas and dining chairs, and we had a chippy tea and a cheap bottle of wine from Morrisons. It's scarred me

I have distant but fond memories of the Stevenage set film "Here we go round the mulberry bush".

This exciting video revisits some of the films locations



Not Christmassy, but in keeping with the spirit of the thread.

iona has just treated us to the true meaning of Xmas over on the 3 positives thread:

I saw a couple of Santa's elves today... In the chemist picking up their methadone

 

[Ground Elder]

This should probably go in here -
Shopping centre elf sacked for pepper spraying family who came to see Santa

...one of Santa’s elves repeatedly yelled at her mother to stay behind the line

It's heartening to see that Easter has joined in

kids were left stunned and “very confused”

It's heartening to see that Easter has joined in

“Was not impressed when the staff took Easter eggs out of the bags my children had collected and told them they had too much even after they only filled their bags as told at the start,” one mum wrote.

“They were also told that Easter bunny will get angry if they don’t put some back, which is not creating the magic of Easter.”

Another said: “They took eggs off children making them cry when they only had a few eggs, Easter bunny went up to my son and took Easter eggs off of him, I was so shocked and my son wasn’t very happy afterwards. Upsetting.”

Magic of Easter?

Something must have gone wrong in my childhood, I don't remember much 'magic' at Easter, a few eggs sure, but noting like Christmas.

I just misread the name of the thread in my alerts as 'Labour New Forest Theme Park Organisers Guilty of Misleading Advertising'.

Talk about experiences guaranteed to disappoint...

It's magic for dentists

The experience might just save a couple of them from diabetes in later life, as well hopefully teaching them a valuable lesson on the virtues of fair distribution of resources and the wrongs of avarice and selfishness. Good work.

Learning by egg sample, I suppose.

Still. Fucking. Funny.

The head of the Company is taking full responsibility for everything but none of it is his fault - reading the social media release he made 24 hours after. They are looking forward to redeeming their name and making it up to those left 'disapointed' in 2018!

Well worth the ticket price alone !
The pictures taken from people 'on site' of the first class seating to have your gourmet food on are great also then retire to you emergency/disaster relief tents for a well deserved rest.

Looks like Brighton Cheesiest is in as an early contender for this year!

Food festival organisers grilled after guests left feeling cheesed off

"We got there and there were only two stalls actually selling a selection of cheese."

“It was the worst rip off in Brighton I have ever seen."

“It just seems bizarre that CheeseFest wouldn’t include more cheesemongers.”

A CheeseFest spokesman said: “The weekend has been a great success and people have enjoyed some amazing cheeses.

I have to say the one photo to illustrate this story of people seemingly enjoying themselves on a sunny afternoon has left me disappointed.

There are more harrowing pics of empty cheese stalls on aother news site that is best left unlinked here.

Nope, even the fail disapopints with it's lack of photos of disappointed cheese enthusiasts.

You don't always need photos to picture something like the combination of sheer anguish and impotent rage from the hundreds of poor cheese-lovers, robbed and denied their favourite food.
