  1. too many men wearing no tops, but gold chains.
  2. a lot of swearing
  3. a lot of tight fitting dresses seemed a bit hot
  4. kids in uncomfortable shoes bad for their feet (no good for walking about)
  5. teens in hoodies - it was 27 degrees
  6. lots of missing teeth in adults
  7. queues too many of them

Because its the lack of NHS dentistry that led them to losing teeth to fighting and heroin......Okaaayy.

Haha! You and the OP are hilarious. I would LOVE to sit and watch you both have a natter in a cafe about the “state of Britain today”.

Can't tell if this is light hearted or not so I'll bite anyway.
You sound worse than all of your numbered points for coming away from what is a supposedly fun day (if that's your thing) judging other people.
You're not very nice and you need to get a life.

Oh give over 🙄

Was it South end on Sea - adventure isalnd?

Xmasbaby11 · 12/08/2023 00:20

Is it Gullivers Valley?

I live near there and have been a few times.

LegoCatLikesTuna · 12/08/2023 00:20

How does naming the theme park "out" you?

SofritoBurrito · 12/08/2023 00:21

Adventure Island? Sounds like a tame day there if it was

Tinklyheadtilt · 12/08/2023 00:21

It doesn't. It's just attention seeking.

One of the kindest, most gentle and intelligent people i know is missing teeth due to parental neglect as a child and a dental phobia. She has tattoos too. And she's a phenomenal and highly respected professional who makes a difference every day. But by all means judge if it makes you feel better

This! If the OP saw my sister in law in her furry sliders, with her missing teeth, tattoos, boisterous kids and pregnant daughter she’d be absolutely appalled and shuffle 20 feet to the left of her. But she’d be missing out on an incredibly warm hearted, selfless, funny and smart woman in her life. The kind of person that makes the world a bit better. Entirely the OP’s loss. (My sister in law would have an absolute FIELD DAY with the OP though. No one quicker witted or sharper-tongued this side of Butlins).

😂
I wasn’t judging it’s what I noticed.

The swearing though was ridiculous.

You're completely anonymous on an internet forum where you've never met any of us in real life, you probably never will meet any of us in real life and you can't just own the fact you're judging?

Embarrassing.

OneMoreCookieMonster · 12/08/2023 00:23

Paultons by the sounds of it. Has an interesting range of people who visit. The only thing I tend to notice are the queues and the ridiculous prices for barely edible food. And, let's not talk about the vile hot dishwater they dare to call coffee

SM4713 · 12/08/2023 00:26

Clearly you went to Chavy Land OP- in Iraq! 😂

'Chavy Land- Take your family for an amusement day at Chavy Land Park. Get your heart racing on the amusement park rides, then take the cable car up Goyje Mountain for a stunning view of the city. Chavy Land is a safe option for a fantastic day with your family and friends'

RE the swearing

For one, unless it was Peppa Pig world or the likes, theme parks aren’t just for kids

and secondly, I have never got the Pearl clutching over swearing. Teach your own kids not to copy and don’t worry about anyone else. They are just words that don’t hurt anybody.

So kindly fuck off next time to a national trust with all the Boden wearing snobs and you’ll lessen your experiences with us common people.

asterdaisy · 12/08/2023 00:31

Adults teeth have got noticeable worse since finding an NHS dentist has become impossible

asterdaisy · 12/08/2023 00:34

When I was a child the older relatives would be scandalised about women who didn't wash their curtains and had children but were nor married.
Nothing new under the sun.
Just people to judge and assure yourself you are superior

Twinsmummy1812 · 12/08/2023 00:35

Last time I went to Drayton Manor I noticed loads of women in full niqab on rollercoasters etc. Not judging but it looked quite bizarre, I guess the contrast of such sedate modesty was incongruous with being flung around on a ride!

blackheartsgirl · 12/08/2023 00:35

sooverthisshit · 11/08/2023 23:21

Did you know that sometimes the adult teeth just don’t form? And not everyone is up to having scary dental work.

Of course this isn’t the only reason for missing teeth but just wanted to make it known.

Quite.

dd1 has 9 adult teeth missing.

shes 21. They never formed.

luckily at the moment her baby teeth are still in place for most but she has a few gaps.

Dd2 has 4 missing for the same reason.

My friend who is 38, still has some baby teeth as well.

Have you texted all your mates that list @Window82 ? Only I'm really struggling to understand how you think it might be outing to tell us where you were Confused

I also don't really understand your comment about bare chests and jewellery. My necklace is always against my bare skin?!

WhateverMate · 12/08/2023 00:40

The OP obviously hasn't paid any attention to the news for the last 2 weeks, where there are countless stories of people literally pulling out their own teeth, due to not being able to find an NHS denist.

Still, the OP isn't judging apparently...

Carouselfish · 12/08/2023 00:40

You didn't say massively fat people, OP. I only came on to see if that's what you'd seen.
That is all I see at Drayton Manor.

Pretty sure there's a new Attenborough coming out about this soon?
