So... Who's shocked by the news that youth unemployment is now skyrocketing in the UK? Due to being able to save on insurance costs, and having fewer safeguarding responsibilities / red tape, we've stopped hiring under 18s altogether... And we're way more likely to hire an over 25 year old...

I think you're right, any even numbered row on Zadra would be lethal on the brake run if not conscious (I think there's probably enough space on an odd numbered row.) Oddly I always pick an even numbered row, for the very reason that I can reach the row in front to brace myself against on the...

I don't think they're going to sell out that 3rd wembley date... Skanky touts losing their minds now, trying to offload tickets at less than cost.... It's beautiful to see. 🤣 🤣 🤣

Auto Shenanigans?

I was impressed that they knew the name of the island Bedford sits on, unlike most Brits.... Most don't know the difference between the country, island or collection of islands. And don't get me started on the Irish haha, no disrespect intended, but they can't accept being part of the 'British...

Paulton's are absolutely doing it right!!! (BTW, even with parking, Towers next Saturday works out at £80, so still 12.5% more expensive at Paultons.... And on a side note, £12!!! WTF, I haven't paid it for years due to my pass, but seriously, WTF???) Brings us onto passes though... Paulton's...

I wondered if maybe, and this is PURE SPECULATION, maybe the remuneration from contract holders, like Aramark, is based on gate figures. It would make sense for both sides. Aramark would want to make sure that they have the opportunity to serve a certain number of customers and make a certain...

We've covered that before, Paulton's are not underselling their product quite as much as Merlin are. For this Saturday coming.... Alton Towers... £68 for 2 adults. Paulton's Park £90 for 2 adults... Very same day. Quite the difference!!! Paulton's have priced their product closer to...

Are we really asking why their spending is so high when I've been harping on about the increased costs in this sector for what feels like over a year now??? 🙈 🤣 Wait until you see in black and white, in their public accounts next year, just how much their wage bill has risen between 2022 and...

On the topic of rail services specifically, one of the big positives of privatisation (at least potentially, it may or may not be linked to privatisation itself) is that usage of the railways has increased massively... In relation to these increases in passenger numbers, services have...

British Rail was far from perfect, but privatisation of UK railways has proven to be a failure... Not all bad, but certainly a failure overall, leading to us having some of the poorest service, at the most expensive prices, anywhere in the world... Maybe there could have been a better model for...

Railways are being nationalised again, with all but one regional operator back in public hands by 2031... Prices won't go down, so don't get too excited there, but hopefully, in the long run, prices will no longer rise at levels way beyond inflation. More importantly, hopefully service levels...

It'd be tempting from here... If only the direct trains were a more regular thing... For comparison, it's currently showing a 1 hour 40 minute drive. (Even changing at Kettering is 1:15 on the train, so still a tempting prospect.)

Came to post that video... Didn't need to bother.. I agree, their videos are incredible, it was their video that forced the project to go public earlier than planned, such is the quality, and their videos on Epic were incredible too.

And everyone lived!!! Shock!!! You guys make fun of OSHA... You should try living / doing business in the the UK / EU!!!! That being said, I do think letting you walk down a lift hill unaided is a little negligent. Somebody WILL fall on an evac one day, especially given the emotional state...
