Retheme imminent.

I like our two different immediate interpretations of runway

A three month stay for £139? Now that is a good deal!

 

[Zeock]

A three month stay for £139? Now that is a good deal!

No it isn't; you couldn't pay me to stay in one of those.

 

[BarryZola]

No it isn't; you couldn't pay me to stay in one of those.

You wouldn't say that if you were living in London and paying £1300 a month in rent.

Someone been copy pasting privacy policies?..

 

[NuttySquirrel]

Someone been copy pasting privacy policies?..

Also inconsistency in whether or not they're treating data as a plural noun. If 'specific data are required', then surely 'These data include:'

 

[Danny]

One our?

I also notice “sweet desert” in the same extract… shouldn’t it be “sweet dessert”?

 

[Ian]

I was more distracted by the claim they’re “famous” that I missed the typo.

Famous in the same way Charles Manson was famous, perhaps? Not sure it’s something to be celebrating.

I also notice “sweet desert” in the same extract… shouldn’t it be “sweet dessert”?

Good spot!
How I love a sweet desert

If you want to be pedantic, then 'flavors' should be 'flavours' as we are in the UK.

 

[Squiggs]

If you want to be pedantic, then 'flavors' should be 'flavours' as we are in the UK.

I don't think that's pedantic. It's just incorrect.

It would be like writing aluminium as aluminum. Sure, an English person would understand what you are saying, but it's not correct.

 

[Thameslink Rail]

It's just as wrong as calling a sport where you run with and throw an egg, 'football'.

 

[Alsty]

Does that mean it should be doughnuts? [/pedant]

 

[Squiggs]

That would be pedantry, as both versions are used in the UK interchangeably.

I’m more concerned that Nitrogenie is still on that page, despite not being open since 2019.

 

[NuttySquirrel]

I’m more concerned that Nitrogenie is still on that page, despite not being open since 2019.

I was wondering about that, could it be reopening as part of an area revamp? Or is the website really that wrong?

 

[Squiggs]

The website will really be that wrong. Nitrogenie was a franchise and I'm not sure the company behind it is still around at this point.

 

[Thameslink Rail]

Looking at Companies House, Nitrogenie (UK) LTD was dissolved 20th August 2019 but another company called Nitrogenie Icecream Limited was founded 8th August 2019. The only branch listed on Nitrogenie's website currently is at Heide Park. Whether it is actually still in operation, I don't know.

They have listed Twistatron as "Twistron" on the 2023 map. The new stand in Gloomy Wood is listed as both "Coach House Confectionery" and "Coach House Confectionary" on the map also. I'd say the first one is correct, but they've still managed to make an error.
