Holiday-goers have been warned to read the fine print of their all-inclusive packages after a rule change cracking down on drinking.


Jason Walker embarked on an ‘all-inclusive holiday’ in Majorca this week but was left feeling “angry” after being told he was only entitled to three free alcoholic drinks per day at his hotel.


For him and his daughter, Jason paid £240 for an all-inclusive three nights and four-day stay in Palma.
 
I’m intrigued by this one

“Ulverston Repair Cafe cancelled due to 'accident' in Booths”

Maybe no one showed up with something to fix so a rogue operative of the repair cafe decided to improvise…


I hasten to add, reading the article it is clear that the denizens of Ulverston did it cause the “accident”. They are blameless.
 
Meanwhile, in Hull, a man fears the crow he got addicted to cigarettes has died. To pay tribute to the bird, he has launched a collection of NFTs - and "the dad says he plans to use money raised from the sale of his crow-inspired artwork to fund 'the best BDSM venue in the UK'."

Sorry run that one past me again? :hmm:

TBF, whilst the whole project cost £178,000, only £1,230 was spent on the painting of the swirly while lines.

Other residents, however, could see the funny side. One stated that it was “very thoughtful of the council” to paint the lines on the ground and make all the drunks in the town think they were walking in a straight line.

:D

:D
I quite like the look of them. What amazes me is the cost of the planning vs the actual cost of the painting. They could have just got me drunk, given me control of the line painting machine and I’m sure I’d have come up with a similar result.

The design costs was for the whole project, that road & disabled parking spaces were closed off during covid to allow more social distancing, so the project includes things like relocating those blue badge parking spaces, levelling the ground to turn it into a pedestrianised area, planting new trees, new planters, new seating, equipping with free 'Gigabit Citizen WiFi', new decorative street lighting, etc.

Begs the question - how?

One driver was sat in the car park for more than two hours, describing the hold up as ‘absolute carnage’.

Only four cars were reportedly able to drive out of the park at a time due to a fault with the sensor which detects vehicles at the lights.

Drivers said there were four minutes between traffic lights changing green and only remained so for around eight seconds.
Police officers assisted with traffic management at the shopping park which is said to have caused a hold-up for drivers since the weekend.

National Highways have since revealed that the cause behind the traffic nightmare was a dead slug which had climbed onto one of the sensors and disrupted the movement detectors in the lights.

It's what the crow would have wanted.
