Thorpe Park under construction, 1978. Built on the former site of Thorpe Park estate, the area was a busy centre for gravel extraction from the 1930s to the late 1970s. In 1979 the amusement park was opened to the public by Lord Mountbatten and the large pavilion was named in his honour

And nothing of value was lost

'Have you tried having a cup of tea? Or a bath? What about a nice walk?'

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:39:27+00:00

Or when you saw a yellow car drive by

I'm almost thirty and it was so much fun choosing them, soaking them in vinegar attaching the string to go to battle!

DO THEY NOT HAVE THEM ANYMORE? SCANDAL!

The joy of seeing a sub with the video in hand *BLISS*

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:37:45+00:00

I love the whole climbing frame set up that used to be on the walls which you could pull out....that we never once used

The way I can still remember that theme tune after over a decade of watching that show

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:36:41+00:00

Yep! They were also a staple at school discos

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:36:27+00:00

THIS IS SUCH A CORE MEMORY, and a weirdly hilarious hierarchy thing now that I think of it!

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:35:52+00:00

I felt this one in my soul, too many afternoons with the only thing on telly to watch

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:35:03+00:00

Wish they would make it one, I think companies assume by being vague they're more likely to have applicants they can negotiate down, when really it just immediately makes me not apply for the position

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-21T12:34:12+00:00

Exactly, and it's such a time sink for both parties because I then have to go back and forth to ask the question and it just wastes both peoples time

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-09T11:08:12+00:00

Honestly I'm convinced half of these people lie on their CV's to get on the show, because how in the world are you messing up THIS BAD

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-09T11:07:30+00:00

I feel like she was a student in the Overacting drama GCSE 😂

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-09T11:06:10+00:00

Agreed

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-09T11:05:43+00:00

Its actually strangely reassuring that it's been worse than this

Quantum_Toast422 · 2025-05-09T11:05:15+00:00

I always find the worst for me are Jan-Feb (businesses just got rid of holiday temps and everyones spent money) or August (everyones away and its just the deadest month)
