Had the best laugh today.

At the moment we are having a tram system built which is a real nightmare, 3 years of MAJOR roadworks, road closures, business going under and general misery.
In an attempt to entice the public back into town they came up with a genius idea, a monster banner! the thing is cringe worthy and an embarrassment to the local community.
It said 'Welcome to beeston' blah blah blah.

Anyhow, out came photoshop, i just couldn't help myself.

The pic went a bit wild around local social media sites and i opened the local paper today to see the story in print!!!
The Mrs and I have been laughing all day......Mr Angry!!!

Agree................except for Bulgaria, i hear its all shocking there.

How long is the Turin/Serre transfer? Do they drop at Montgenevre on the way?
Been thinking about it with the free passes for March time.

Im not sure i get all this 'bad food' rubbish. Its bad in the UK from time to time, from eatery to eatery.
Travelling to another country doesn't mean a step up in food from home, just different, you'll still get naff places - with eggs.

Bourg? really?

We drove through and it looked grim.

Back on topic, i would suggest that many large resorts offer activities for the non skier, all towns offer are more shops.
