Do you remember that unfortunate instance at Alton Towers, when they lost power and we lost the plot, again back in May when it seemed it was never our day?
Well they stepped up and went the extra mile, providing both refund and tickets for a return visit, and it's ever credit where credit's due here on the 'blog.
I've discussed this with myself at the breakfast bar, pointing out you were all quite disappointed at our not being able to afford our 'big day out' at Sheffield, where I was to be celebrated as perhaps the university's most philanthropic benefactor.
Well I listened, and shall take you all to Alton Towers instead at a forthcoming date yet to be decided... but clear your diaries for the whole of September whilst I dwell on it.
Meantime as one of the UK's foremost influencers can I recommend a day out at the Towers followed by a pint of pale ale at the Cat and Fiddle on the way home?
I'll do the house, my son the rides. As a retired pilot at Blackpool Pleasure Beach all I could do was to wonder, 'And if it comes off the rails... now?'
