That Willy Wonka Glasgow experience scam!

Whilst I have sympathy for those who wasted a day out, I can't believe anyone bought tickets for this after seeing the AI-overloaded website!

Seriously, anyone who fell for this needs to educate themselves on scams!

Ooh, will definitely watch that!

I blame The Apprentice for this, people getting notions.

I do feel sorry for that person who som;eone just took an unfortunate photo of in that second and now keeps on circulating as a representation of the day. That could happen to any of us

If you mean the one below, in isolation that doesn't really represent how crap it was, because it shows a reasonably full table of apparatus, smoke etc.

well i think the picture is being used as a representation of how crap the day was

So it may be, but it's not the most effective representation they could have chosen.

I don’t have channel 5, did anyone watch the documentary yet? Did they explain at all HOW it all went so wrong , like what did the guy who planned it think was going to happen ??

I assumed it was just a straightforward scam? Collect a lot of cash and try and get away with it. Like those crappy polar experiences etc.

I've just watched it - it was OK but nothing you wouldn't already know if you've been following it, and the usual padding and repetition you get to stretch this kind of documentary out.

Yeah it's typical Channel 5 cheap telly - take a 5 minute news story and spin it into an hour of cheap to make telly.

I still feel sorry for the unwitting young people who thought they were just getting a few days work and have been slagged off all over social media.
