Police called to Willy Wonka event after refunds demanded

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czrlr3dw2x3o

Police were called to an event described as a "Willy Wonka Experience" in Glasgow as angry families demanded refunds.

The event was advertised as a "journey filled with wondrous creations and enchanting surprises at every turn".

But one visitor told BBC Scotland News that it was little more than "an abandoned, empty warehouse".


"A post from organisers, House of Illuminati, in January described the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-themed event as where "dreams become reality"."

Umm... Apparently so!

Perhaps the lesson is to avoid like the plague anything that has the word "Experience" in its title?

"During the trial the court was told that customers, who paid up to £30 a ticket, were greeted by a muddy field, fairy lights dangling from a tree and a broken ice rink."

And not forgetting Blobbygate.

It's hard to believe that once upon a time in 90s Britain, with its revolutionary music scene, pop culture and groundbreaking political movements, the country became, for a time, obsessed with a pink blob.
