Noticed that, they probably realised if people want to renew then let them in case when the pass does expire they don’t bother joining again and a lost customer.They have started selling renewals again. Even though it says sold out you can select book now and order
Seems fairly reasonable to me?
but most Merlin pass holders are a good 3 to 5 hours plus away,
Are they? Based on what evidence?
Read the facebook comments, I live a good 4.5 hours away driving (longer if driving during peak time traffic)
The idea that most Passholders live 3+ hours from an attraction doesn’t stack up though, I suspect this is actually the minority of Passholders, with most people living much closer, hence the reason for buying the passes in the first place.
Nobody goes in for an interview these days, it's like politicians, a fob off statement is preferred these days.If I remember correctly, Merlin was on Watchdog ten years ago during the wasp infestation only that time they actually bothered to go in for an interview!
Last year if a company boss refused to do an interview, Watchdog had a "chicken of the week slot" where they would instead show off a breed of chicken!Nobody goes in for an interview these days, it's like politicians, a fob off statement is preferred these days.
Having said that though, i live about 90 minutes from Alton and would go for 4 hours. I usually go in the morning when i go and i'm out by 3pm, so it doesn't make much difference to me
