    1. Pine-ta larga please boss and a double vody for the missus. Thirsty work watching young Bazza go down the lazy river..

    2. It will be like being at the water park in Magaluf. I don’t think they’ve had all that many alcohol related drownings.

    3. An aside, but at my school there was a guy who was a prefect, a cadet leader and a bullying twat. Gave people no end of hassle for very minor or even imaginary crimes.

      I went to the local theme park one summer with a friend- not knowing bully boy worked there. Alcohol and baking sun had obviously done its work on some of the park customers, and we had the pleasure of watching him scrub puke off the waltzers.

      Not quite so high and mighty now, eh Jeremy?

      >If the plans for Alpamare in Scarborough are approved by councillors next week, alcohol could be served within parts of the site, but would remain banned from the children’s area and changing rooms.

      Bad news kids, you’re going to have to smuggle your own WKD in still.

    5. Honestly though who needs a drink at 8 am

      I know you can’t nanny people but some folk will do it just because it’s there .

      I like a drink but for sure I’m not getting hammered at a bloody water park , especially not if we are on a day out with the kids . Dangerous I think

      Surely it is because it is part of a wider complex involving food and a spa and suchlike and this is blanket opening hours, they aren’t expecting people to actually get pissed at 8am.

    7. “Objectors say plans to serve alcohol at Alpamare could result in anti-social behaviour”

      Given what we know about alcohol and people, pretty sure they can change “could” to “will definitely”.

    8. I like a nice pint or six, but there’s a time and a place to drink. Eight o’clock at a water park isn’t it.

      The only time I ever drank so early was at a Wetherspoons near the train station, and this was the start of a pre-planned birthday celebration pub crawl.

    9. This just shows the difference in consuming alcohol to say places in Germany or other European countries.

      The aim is not to get “steaming drunk” but to enjoy it and socialise.

      There are places in Germany that lets you consume alcohol in pools like this without issues of anti social or violence.

      I don’t see the issue. People that want to drink at 8am at not going to pay to get in a waterpark to then pay inflated prices for alcohol when they can just go to a spoons. There will be no parents drinking at 8am either. Maybe from about 11am and usually one of them but not 8am. I base that on the many holidays abroad I have had and places that supply alcohol as I’ve never seen parents getting pissed at 8am. The earliest I reckon would be about 10am.
