Once apon a time children this young slug worked as a lifeguard at my local baths in Yorkshire. I kid ye not, one day 3 older people came into said baths and said "I'm sorry about the death in your pool?"
Bit strange since the person who had drowned and died, actually died in a Scarborough baths. Mind you one of the ladies who asked did report us to the council for dumping toxic waste in her bins. Oh happy days.
Kay Burley will go nowhere, change.org never amounts to much. Ofcom will just bat the thing aside.

Yeah I heard someone died at work too so we should ban all professions too, and all modes of transport including walking, then the world will be a much safer place!

Today I was most viciously apprehended by a blood thirsty ravenous squirrel!
I thought my life was over.
Destroy all squirrels!

Got a free ticket to come back any day from the box office today (as an annual pass holder). I explained that I wasn't overly pleased that there were several of the main rides closed which in turn was leading to bigger queues on the rides that were open, then also added the point that single rider had been removed from Rita and Nemesis making the problem worse for myself. Mentioned that everyone else seemed to be compensated for these issues apart from annual pass holders and before I could even suggest adding a week or two onto my expiry date of my pass the nice lady just offered me a free ticket. Jobs a good 'un

I just got handed a free ticket as I came through the MAP entrance this morning, then when I left was asked if I had received a free ticket in the morning. I gave a quizzical look and said no, so they gave me another

I couldn't possibly condone that type of behaviour

Ha ha sneaky. Wasn't going to bother visiting for the foreseeable future what with all the closures, but if they're handing out free tickets like they're going out of fashion I might reconsider

I'm afraid I can't watch that. I had to force myself through the Alton interview just for the few gems of knowledge from Nick Varney. I don't think I could stomach just listening to her. Listening is the key to good interviews and debates, and I can't stand those that don't.
Fortunately my girlfriend warned me the first time what to expect. She already knew all about her "interview" techniques.

They would be better off giving one free fast pass to MAP holders than a free ticket.I just got handed a free ticket as I came through the MAP entrance this morning, then when I left was asked if I had received a free ticket in the morning.

I have bought a MAP for our summer hols again this year (doing 3 days at AT, Legoland, Chessington, and all the Blackpool attractions), but I won't be back again anytime soon as I live in Aberdeen. So a free pass is no good to me at all.

I wouldn't envisage this free ticket thing going on too much longer anyway MM. As soon as they open X-Sector back up (without Smiler) and get Spinball going it should be normal business again. I don't think it will take them too long to do that at a complete guess. Not sure you'll be affected unless you're there in the next couple of weeks (which you may well be, I have no idea)?

Agreed, Sky certainly won't do anything because controversy is good for them. Given past events with April Jones, Peter Andre and now Leah Washington (demanding (at the time) private medical information live on air), Kay Burley can only be described as a sociopath.
