Your analogy is still shit. But crack on enjoying on hating other people having fun ✌🏼

*Part* of the park is *temporarily* private for an event that thousands of people enjoy and brings much-needed revenue to the council, while vast swathes of park remain accessible to the public at no cost.

That’s a terrible analogy because “dinner” implies an individual portion. If you don’t want the “shit” for an additional £50 there’s still plenty of the all-you-can-eat buffet still available for free.

They don’t close off the entire park. Plenty of space still available for those who want to enjoy it.

Victoria Park definitely offers a free ticket ballot to local residents. And the park is enormous so it’s not like you can’t still enjoy other parts of it while one part is closed off for a festival.

My one experience with Chase is that they blocked my card for suspected fraud while I was trying to make an expensive purchase in the US (fair) but wouldn’t then let me unblock the card through the app or any method other than calling them - despite them then using the app to ID you when you call.

The only part I remember is us being split into three groups - Penis, Vagina and Intercourse - and each group having to write down as many euphemisms as they could for their respective term, and then read them back out to the group. Not entirely sure what this helped with…

But what if they let you be strapped to Alexander?

… did you mean Freddie?
I mean each to their own if not, but I think you might mean Freddie.
