Re: Alton Towers | The Smiler | Unknown Gerstlauer World's 1
Hahahaha, I love the idea that Tesco's statisticians are sat there scratching their heads
"There's been a 1000% increase in sales of bratwurst in Uttoxeter since the start of 2011. Perhaps we should consider adding a German selection to the 'Imported World Foods' aisle?"
On a more serious note, Watchdog will cause OUTRAGE. The people who watch it regularly are unlikely to think well of Alton afterwards. Mainly because they're the sort of braindead sheep that watch Watchdog. I bet they read The Sun or the Daily Mail too.
In reality, I think they've actually handled it reasonably well considering. OK, so they'd said the ride would be open and it wasn't. But that's probably not their fault. On the 23rd (and, from what I've heard, since then) they absolutely did the best they could. They were dishing out free tickets no questions asked to anyone who asked for one. I also really appreciate the 1 month AP extensions that they were giving out. Again, no questions asked. I really don't know what else they could've done to make the best of such a bad situation.
