A shonky Willy Wonka

If you’re frustrated by the expense/quality of local events, spare a thought for the people of Glasgow who felt so ripped off by a Willy Wonka-inspired experience, that the police were called and it was shut down… Locals shelled out $70 a ticket for “optical marvels” and “extraordinary props” but entered a warehouse that was “pretty much empty, except for a few plastic mushrooms”. An actor hired for the event said he knew something was off when he got a nonsense “AI generated script”. And if you’re wondering why the chocolate didn’t make up for it, it’s because there was none… Kids were given only “one or 2 jelly beans” which adults were told “not to touch”. Reports say many children left crying after being told about a masked man who “lived in the walls”. Perhaps that’s why conspiracy theorists think Princess Kate is lost inside… You might think it could never happen here, but the people of Noarlunga in SA know better…
