I wager about 8 people outside of Scotland realise Scone is pronounced differently from the baked good that nobody can agree on the pronunciation of already. The place is more like Skoon, rhymes with spoon

they don't know all alien abduction experiences can be explained by people thinking saving private ryan was a documentary

Things that British people get excited about:

1. Stolen artifacts from other lands
2. Local rocks

They should give Liz the old Bin Laden burial at sea to keep the extremist monarch authoritarians from worshiping at her grave. Then just abolish the monarchy and spend the money on the massive energy crisis. Someone needs to spread Democracy to the UK.

they are a large resort hotel. well, they have lodges and cabins. but anyway, they are kicking out all their guests for a day.

they don't wanna pay their staff bank holiday rates for a quiet period, they're routinely open on planned bank holidays. i think they're usually available for booking on christmas and easter and stuff. just go gently caress yourself customers, lol

there’s no way the losses from all the cancellations/refunds they’re going to owe for this are more than paying enough staff to allow people to stay in the rooms/cabins/whatever?
