    And in another direction … it seems that the National Trust and the National Park really needs to pull their fingers out … it’s really not good enough

    I want to believe that the reviews are intended to be jokes, but I'm not convinced.

    No toilets at the top of a mountain, who'd have thought it.  Putting some paths in is one thing.  Maybe she'd be better at the Heights of Abraham in Matlock Bath. Theres a cable car to get up and down, and a teashop at both ends.

    When I lived in rural Suffolk we had Londoners complaining that it was too noisy 🐓 🐄 🐑 🐖 🦆 🚜 

    And we had a couple visit us who were terrified to drive the last few miles to our house in the dusk because they’d never ever driven anywhere that didn’t have streetlights … they hadn’t thought that such roads existed!!!

    Reminds me of my 3 year old granddaughter when she went to the beach for the first time and the sand stuck to her skin. She didn't half bellow, "There's too much sand here!"

  • Or maybe she should just stick to city streets where she can drink. eat and wee to her hearts content.
    The editor of the MENews should be looking for another job if he allowed that past his desk as a newsworthy comment fit to be published.

    Who wants the Lake District when you can go to a tourist attraction like this with food, a cafe and toilets at the end. What’s not to like…?🙄

    I once watched a women flounce out of a pub without paying for her meal because she had been too cold sat next to an open window. There were plenty of tables away from the window and she could have just shut the window if she really wanted that seat but her mild discomfort was the pub's fault and she'd be damned if she was paying for the meal she sat and ate while shivering in the July chill. Her boyfriend slunk after her without meeting anyone's eyes but didn't escape the odd 'good luck with that one, mate.' comment. I tipped extra for the entertainment.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
