    What year has Alton been at its best

    I think this question depends a lot on whether your looking at it personally or from a objectively. If It's personal then it'll be either when your first visited or when you most enjoyed the visits on a regular basis (as opposed to you having a one off good visit because of company etc), while...

    I think its so funny that it's just listed on rightmove, people keep saying the Alton Towers lease is going to go up for sale, and personally I cannot wait to see that listing,

    I'm not sure Parliament will need to approve it directly? I believe under the new infrastructure and local government bills (can't remember which one), the Secretory of State will have the power to approve without parliamentary approval. Although I believe both of those acts are still going...

    Interesting development regarding the complex set of American conglomerate entertainment companies that could have an impact on any Harry Potter developments in the UK, is that Comcast are one of the options to buy Warner Bro's Discovery (WBD). This could end up with an incredibly complex set of...

    Is Alton Towers too cheap?

    This is a fair point but it has effectively been a price reduction because inflation has gone up while the ticket price has stayed the sane. Now this is good for us, especially as the product has downgraded but the original question of this post is whether if the [park experience was improved a...

    Is Alton Towers too cheap?

    I do think the costing at Alton Towers makes little sense, the car park charge is too expensive, especially considering you can't get there any other way, but it seems they've increased this instead of increasing gate price. I'd rather the left parking where it is (or actually reduced it), and...

    [202X] Project Horizon (SW9?): Planning Approved

    I find it so funny everybody keeps trying to tell you about accounting @Jb85 , I'm half thinking you should put it in your signature haha. Going back to this, I believe when Tussauds bought the park they were very open that they wanted to develop the site significantly and I think they made it...

    Merlin Entertainments: General Discussion

    Isn't it probably like most things, that instead of either cutting costs all together and not investing or investing loads you instead cut costs as much as possible where this can make sense. But invest in less risky things that are highly likely to bring in a return. My guess is that there...

    You just carry some form of ID. Most of the world, including most democratic countries have ID cards without a problem. If it makes society more efficient I think it's a good thing. It's hardly like the Gov doesn't have all this info anyway, I mean how would HMRC even work without having...

    Age verificatiors. There should be a single Gov age verificators linked to your ID. I've just had to fight with discord to try get it to approve me being over 18, it still won't let me. I've now submitted a manual request, with no stated timeframe of how long it will take. Also these automated...

    The I Feel Happy Topic!

    I'm the same, why I have no massive expenses I can risk taking a temporary or lower paid job with the hope of gaining more experiences. I've had 5 interviews now, although one of the roles I really didn't want once I'd been in there a few minutes, so I don't really count that as one I was...

    Sorry what on earth does this even mean? They're doing badly but good but badly but only a little bit badly?

    The I Feel Happy Topic!

    Yeah it's hard, I know I'm doing something right as I'm getting at least some interviews (I'd say I get maybe 1 interview for every 20 jobs I apply for or so, but it varies). I actually think a temporary post is a good thing for your first job because it allows you to get some experience and see...

    Will they probably just close them individually now? I'd suspect they just haven't formulated a plan to do it yet.

    Good stuff Matt!. I know how tricky it is as I myself am currently looking for a graduate role, so I understand the pain you've probably had to go through and the hoops you've probably had to jump.

    UK Politics General Discussion

    Lowe was too extreme for reform, so I'd take little note of what he says. Although will give him one thing over Farage he does seem to actually engage with his constituency and care about it. About the only good thing about him being anywhere near parliament. In other news that I'm sure both...

    Serious questions and musings

    I have a really good friend who often doesn't respond to me for long periods so I know it's hard. They don't even do it on purpose, they just forget to respond and there is still chance of this being what has happened here. Honestly I'd just leave it for a bit and then maybe drop them a message...

    Russia vs NATO

    Trump will change his mind next time he talking to Putin, then he'll change it back when it talks to his best European mates (even though most his euro friends don;t actually like him, some are good at pretending IE Starmer).

    The reason nothing gets built in this country is because everyone is out for there own indiviual interests at every turn. Is it a bit worrying for the residents? Sure, a bit. Is it sad that this road won't exist soon? Yeah of course. But in the grand scheme of things it really isn't that big of...
