A wonderful new addition to the genre:

Police called to Glasgow Willy Wonka event after families demand refunds

Families say the event promising "enchanting suprises" but was little more than an abandoned warehouse.

Police called to 'Willy Wonka Chocolate Experience' after parents left furious

Isn’t the estate of Roald Dahl quite litigious, and haven’t all rights to things Wonka likely been sold anyway to some hugely litigious film studios? Makes the chutzpah all the more admirable.

If only they'd have had the foresight to swap the 'O' for an 'A'.

All of this could possibly* have been avoided.

Roger Whittaker was completely wrong about Durham town.

Have you seen the Stan Laurel statue?

Eta: just remembered the statue is in Bishop Auckland... which makes me wrong about Durham as well.

Yes! It’s on the Weir!

“When I was a boy, I spent my time
Sitting on the banks of the river Tyne”

Well, you had to leave Durham Town to do that, you twat.

Bishop Auckland is in County Durham. So not entirely wrong.

Actually might take a trip to see that.

Also, I have a soft spot for Bishop Auckland FC. After the Munich disaster in '58, United had to get a team together or forfeit their matches. Bishop Auckland helped out the reds by sending some of their players to fill in.

A friend in one of my WhatsApp groups, who doesn’t usually post stuff like this or talks about it when we meet, reported this story today. I correctly guessed that he had not previously heard of the legendary Lapland New Forest, and posted a link to the story. He’s loved it so much he’s posted multiple screenshots with quotes and photographs documenting the inimitable experience

Might have you been living under a rock

Fancy website was too good to be true.
Lapland New Forest- obvious clue.
I don’t like the look of that!

Exactly, when the rugs are wearing off a bit and you're deciding whether to go home or go for another round. In fact the AI pics to this reality is exactly the feeling of when the drugs wear off.

Did these people complaining just not take the supplied jellybeans and quarter can of barr lemonade?

TBF there is only one Oompa Loompa in two versions of the films

 

[scifisam]

TBF there is only one Oompa Loompa in two versions of the films

There are only two films and they both have about 100 Oompa Loompas.

Not that it's connected to those movies or the books at all. No, it's just coincidence...

They really should've checked spellchecked the ilustrations.

there was nothing but this obviously terrible AI generated art.

and yet some people still bought tickets. I do wonder what they were expecting to find when they turned up.
