Lapland New Forest - Summer Covid Edition

[BigMoaner]

I fucking LOVE Cornwall Live btw.

Recent highlights of their journalism include 'Truro Wetherspoons reopens after lockdown but no-one cares'

Another fav from CL was "HUGH GRANT SPOTTED EATING SAUSAGE ROLL in [some corn ish village]

I’m ready to take lots of photos of sad kids

Not just sad, surely they'll be 'brokenhearted and traumatised' at the very least?

'Prison would've been nicer' says woman after horror stay at Pontins

A Yorkshire couple who stayed at a holiday park in Wales said it makes The Grand Hotel in Scarborough look luxurious

Reminds me of that crim who handed himself into the nick in the winter lockdown because everything had turned to shit. Pmsl

I’ll be traumatised if I don’t get a bespoke cocktail

It will be DISGUSTIN

I’ll be traumatised if I don’t get a bespoke cocktail

What's going to be in it; 3 parts gin, 1 part tears of a brokenhearted child, splash of bitters, sprig of hemlock?

I will say one thing about Glamping - I have never seen so many labradoodles/cockerpoos in one place. And zero staffies.

www.leicestermercury.co.uk

"We arrived to the hotel so (sic) find an 'event' on in the lobby, we had to queue an hour to check in. Save your money from visiting Blackpool Zoo as the characters you'll see walking around this hotel top any animal."

Was it an urban event?

There's a place in Eastbourne.

Helen posted on Instagram: "Over £500 in ticket costs and we can't book anything. Everybody has been in tears, it's a total farce."

Bear Grylls-backed festival activities and hygiene criticised

Some festival-goers say facilities are not as billed and many activities are fully booked.

It's billed as a GONE WILD FESTIVAL what do they expect? You don't get food, or handwashing, or toilet facilities in the wild

If this had been a Lofty Wiseman event he'd have had the punters eating the peanuts out of their shit and filtering their piss through Badger intestines.

If I attended any festival sponsored by Bear Grylls I’d be half expecting it would require at some point having to drink my own piss…

Just get Budweiser to sponsor the beer tent, job done.

Or maybe even Badgers' intestines

 

[DaveCinzano]

It would certainly be a niche interest workshop
