Disastrous family seasonal attractions and the never to be forgotten Lapland New Forest Theme Park

I'm surprised this still hasn't happened, they'd probably make a fortune just from the stand selling crappy Christmas jumpers.

I actually adore the crappy xmas jumpers. But I wouldn't buy it from the hipster mafia.

And quite right too, I say!

Flying about full of fly agaric AND a whole big bellyful of sherry, (and shortbread and raisiny cake) while the reindeer, the extremely exploited and oppressed workers in this deplorable situation, are expected to be humbly grateful for a bit of carrot.

This bit of carrot, remember, is all that is given to the whole team of reindeer workers, and it is surely inevitable that our deer comrades will, one day, as a matter of historical necessity, resist.

They shall throw off the shackles of Santa! And shove Santa into the snow and make him eat it. The very yellow snow.

Not a paying attraction so points will have to deducted, but I thought this is still in keeping with the spirit of the thread...

City Christmas tree 'an embarrassment'

 

[pogofish]

Looked past our Christmas Market tonight and yes, it looked pretty but kind of left me a bit underwhelmed:

For starters, despite being open for nearly a fortnight, it wasn't very busy - The security must have outnumbered the public 4-1.
Then there were only two stalls selling anything other than fast food.

Didn't bother with the bar/coffee tent when I saw the prices - I've been to considerably cheaper festivals.

I'm sure concerned mum and dad can make him feel better by buying a toy out of the £200 quid they will have been paid for telling the world about such horrifying tale.

Still, not all is bad news:

Little Charlie Harding is now in fear that Santa Claus won't bring him presents and has been desperately cleaning his room to make sure he is off the list.

Morrisons ruin Christmas for children

Wrong thread, that should be in local newspaper headline thread!

As an aside, shouldn't it be Morrisons ruins christmas?

 

[Ground Elder]

And today's award for pedentary goes to 1927 edited to add: I think the story is more keeping with the remit of this thread than the local headlines threads.

Well, either the adults involved are really fucking stupid and bought that jumper without actually reading what it said, or they're willing to sell a bollocks story out to the media for chump change. Neither possibility makes them look good.

Also, assuming he's not acting, the kid needs some extra backbone. I wouldn't have cried about that kind of thing when I was six.

I was at Winterville at Clapham Common and thinking of this thread. The Christmas market bit was a bit underwhelming and nothing for sale was Christmasy, but sadly nothing worthy of this thread.

I went to a zoo like that in Hainan province . When we paid and went in it we found it only had one dog.

It was a shitzu.


Thanks, here all week.

Children can be very sensitive about all kinds of things. You don't know what kind of importance he might place on thinking of himself as a well-behaved boy.

I suppose. I was encouraged to be truthful rather than well-behaved.

A testimony to the spirit of the thread itself, but disappointing all the same.

Are there no entrepreneurs left in this country?
