My heart goes out to all the dissapointed young children but why can't i stop laughing at this story.

Good on the parents when their kids were ripped off by fake Santa.

Father Christmas and his elves attacked by furious parents - mirror.co.uk

Would you pay £30 to take your child to this dungheap?

I'm not surprised that there was trouble....did you see the state of the place.........and you had to pay £100 per family. Apparently a coffee and a cake was £5....

That story is breathtakingly hilarious! I am still laughing about it since i first saw it on the news!:yh_rotfl

I saw this on the news last night and thought it was disgusting, they interviewed the security guard and when asked if he would pay for his family to go there he had a pause so long that i thought he'd stopped breathing It looked a total dive, I just hope that they can get some money back, apparantly trading standards are looking into the way in which it was advertised, hopefully they'll see that the park in no way represented what they had promised to their families

Huge shame for the kids and hard up mums and dads but i can't stop laughing at The Sun's pic of a tent in a muddy field. What a cheek to charge £30 for a kid???

It's probably scared them for life now.

British children will grow up believing that santa lives in a grotty tent in a muddy field. :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Sorry, i just can't help but laugh. I'd love to see that come to court :yh_rotfl

LOL! You just know it has to! That took such tremendous cohonies to pull that off! The rip off of the century! Snake oil cure all, modern day version! It's the huskies i feel sorry for. Lapland....yeah sure.:-2(thought that was in Kent!)

It would be great if it came to court. I have this image of elves in full costume in the dock. :yh_rotfl

Seriously for a minute, those poor kids. I'd love to have seen Santa getting chinned though :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

can you imagine?? those kids thinking Santa treating his dogs that way?



(I thought santa had reindeer anyway! Not huskies!)



And what about that sorry excuse for a nativity??? I think they are done for actually.

I think that's what i find so funny... it's just so appallingly bad. I could have knocked that up in my shed in 10 mins... hmmmm there's a thought:sneaky::sneaky:

They haven't even tried have they?

What about the poor sod who queued for 4 hours only to find that that pile of shyte once he's got in??

Sorry but i'm laughing again :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

I'm just going to have to look at those pics again :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

I KNOW!!!! Thats what so hilarious! I really think they couldnt have done a worse job! And did you see where they had to go to another place to pick up their gift from santa?? £10 for a polaroid pic! :yh_rotfl And how many people payed for that ***** before the news broke it!

Absolutely, i would have turned back at the car park and took the kids to McCdonalds.

It's just been on the news and apparently, they are refusing to close saying they have given value for money :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Trouble is a lot of people paid in advance......poor kids !

I'm not laughing at them, it's the whole set up. It's just so awfull that it's funny.

They showed the place on tv and it's worse than in the paper. People are just wandering around with nothing to look at.

Then they say they are carrying on. That's it.... It's 'Carryon Santa'. :yh_rotfl

So sad for those kids, but I sure would have loved seeing santa getting a good upper cut to the jaw!!! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

Me too. Good on the parents!!

I'd also like to see Santa with his beard off having a crafty cigg out the back :yh_rotfl

He probably needed it to relax after getting attacked by the vicious parents! :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

I didn't realise this story had got into the news. Our SENCO teacher dotes on her two small kids and was thrilled when she got tickets to this as she really wanted to take her kids to Lapland but couldn't afford it. She thought this was the next best thing and has been raving about it for weeks, she was totally thrilled about how thrilled her kids would be at seeing Santa in "Lapland"!

She came back after their visit and was gutted about how God-awful it was!

She complained about how small it was and said it had been given so much hype in the press it sounded wonderful. She said they had advertised it as having lots of things to do and how great it was for kids. Apparently when she went it had 3 crummy stalls, the children were forbidden from sitting on Santa's lap and they weren't allowed a present. She was so gutted for her kids. Considering how excited she was it's a criminal shame that someone can rip off families like that!

I'll have to tell her it's in the news so she can add her complaint to the list!

Us Brits don't like getting ripped off.

there's another report in the papers tonight where an agency supplying staff has pulled their workers out because it's getting too violent.

The cheek of them just refusing to close and carrying on ripping people off.

I've just heard on the news that they have finally shut the place down.

The owner is allegedly a convicted tax frauder. :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl

There is a place down the road from us. It is a garden called Guido Gardens and is a beautiful garden all year round. At Christmastime, it is decorated with a billion lights and numerous Christmas scenes. There is Christmas music playing in the background. You can go and leisurely visit all the scenes. It is gorgeous! And it's free.

I think that's exactly what these poor kids expected when they queued for hours.

It sounds beautiful.

They have shut the place, i just found tonight's report
