WASH OUT Much-loved UK theme park reveals new rainy day guarantee – with free return after bad weather Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THE WORLD'S top place to take bored kids this summer, which is in the UK, has announced a new rainy day guarantee scheme.

The policy will be in place throughout August and it will need to rain for more than three hours on the day of their trip. If this does happen, then guests can return for free within seven days of their original visit date. CEO of Pleasure Beach Resort, Amanda Thompson OBE said: "It's important to us that guests have the best time when visiting, and while technically speaking the rain doesn't affect our rides, we wouldn't want the wet weather to dampen anyone's day. "We truly believe that you can have a great time at Pleasure Beach come rain or shine, but we know that everything is extra special when the weather is on side." If a guest wants to use a rainy day return, they should arrive at the same ticket centre on the day of their return visit and display their eTickets, paper tickets or confirmation email to staff. The new option can also be used seven days of the week. Blackpool Pleasure Beach resort was also recently named as one of the best attractions to bust kids being bored. created an index compiling the best attractions to take kids to this summer and the Lancashire-based attraction managed to beat the likes of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.

UK's biggest holiday park is right on the beach with thousands of caravans, indoor pools and cheap stays
WITH over 2,000 caravans and lodges, the UK's largest holiday park even "gives Butlin's a run for its money". Trecco Bay in Porthcawl, Wales, is one of the largest holiday parks in Europe, and as a result, has a wealth of things to do. 6 6 Upon entering the Parkdean site, there a number of different accommodations to choose from, including lodges and caravans. The lodges can sleep up to eight people and some are pet friendly or have large sunbeds. You can even purchase a caravan from £22,995 if you want to keep on returning. In the centre of the park, you will find the entertainment plaza. When the sun is shining, head to Pirate Crazy Golf for some family fun or bounce on the trampolines. And with the park being so big, you could grab one of the pedal powered karts to get around. For little ones who love an adventure, there is a high ropes course with bridges and swinging ropes and a splash pad as well. Parts of the course even hover above a path where parents can spectate below. Other outdoor activities include archery, hoover boards and bumper zorbs. This holiday park has Maldives-like overwater bungalows If the rain has decided to appear though, there is also loads of things to do inside. The park also puts on shows, and there are Paw Patrol Mighty Missions for little ones. There is also the pool in case you fancy a splash about or you could use the Aqua Jets to dive to the bottom of the pool. For classic family fun, there is a bowling alley as well. And for older kids and gamers, head to the Next Level Gaming Arena where there are over 25 consoles including PS5 and Xbox, to test out. On the practical side, the holiday park also has all the facilities that you would need for a trip away, such as a launderette and supermarket. Rather oddly, the park also has its own roundabout and chapel. 6 6 The park boasts a wealth of eating and drinking options too, so no one in the family can complain there is no food they like. Options include Papa Johns, Burger King and a fish and chippy. For tipples, there are some choices to, including the themed Aloha surf bar complete with totem pole decor and tiki cocktails. And the entire park has a sprawling sandy Blue Flag beach on its doorstep. One visitor said: "We never ran out of things to do. Definitely recommend and I'm planning on going couple times a year." Another visitor said: "I would also say it definitely gives Butlin's a run for its money as we were there only a few weeks ago…" The park underwent a huge £3.5million makeover, where it added the Coast Bar and Kitchen and new caravans. And an arts and crafts den also keeps fidgety children busy. Prices for breaks vary, but can be found as low as £109. Affordable UK holiday park that mums say is like Center Parcs WHILE Center Parcs often proves too costly, Mill Rythe Holiday Park on Hayling Island offers a similar family-friendly experience at a more accessible price point. Many TikTok users have praised this Hampshire park for its value. One family's break, featuring a hot tub, marina views, two pools, soft play, and a splash pad, came in at under £500. Visitors consistently highlight the free swimming, soft play, playgrounds, and splash areas, along with the park's quality entertainment. Mill Rythe provides a range of activities, from mini-archery and crafts to bike rentals, and includes access to both indoor and outdoor pools, plus a splash park and soft play area. Entertainment options include stage shows, live acts, an outdoor cinema, and daily games. Dining choices include The Missing Squirrel and The Green Room restaurants, along with a Catch 22 fish and chip shop. The park offers 85 dog-friendly caravans and lodges. A Luxury Caravan, complete with decking and optional hot tub, can be booked for as little as £273 for a four-night stay in May, equating to £11.38 per person per night. For a more premium experience, the TriBeCa caravan boasts stylish decor and an in-bedroom bath, with seven-night stays starting from £542. There is also a lesser-known UK holiday park which has been named the best in the country. Plus, the five friendliest holiday parks in England – with one even likened to a five-star hotel. 6

Is this crude new podcast really what BBC Scotland should be making?
The series was filmed last year, before the scandal broke. The BBC says it is only fair to contestants to show it. They, after all, did nothing wrong. It will be weird, though. At first, viewers will not quite believe what they are seeing. I had a similar experience with a new homegrown BBC product, Situationships. It's a podcast hosted by author and nurse Sophie Gravia and author and television personality Christine McGuinness. Made at BBC Scotland's Pacific Quay HQ, each new half-hour episode is available on BBC Sounds and 'fully visualised' on the [[BBC Scotland]] channel and BBC iPlayer. Gravia and McGuinness are agony aunts, advising viewers on everything from flirty text messages to friendships gone stale. And I do mean everything. I refer those interested to the story about the first date and the poppered body suit. The opening titles are done in the soft focus style of those adverts for adult stations you'd see in the early days of multi-channel television. It's all in keeping with the show's up-for-a-laugh attitude as the duo help viewers navigate 'the toughest, most outrageous and downright weird scenarios that life can serve up'. Now at this point I could say something snarky involving the phrase 'Reithian values', but let's be grown-ups here. Situationships could have been precision-engineered to have the likes of me collapsing on the fainting couch we keep in the front parlour for such occasions. As McGuinness says, 'on this pod anything goes', and that includes F-bombs. Adding to its defence, [[BBC Scotland]] is only doing what everyone else is and jumping on the podcast bandwagon. Why not? We cannot get enough of them. What was at first a form of cheap radio has migrated to television and online, and now it's coming to an auditorium near you. If you want to see Alastair Campbell and Rory Stewart in The Rest is Politics at the SEC Armadillo in Glasgow in November, for example, a full price ticket was being advertised yesterday at close to £90. Read more As for the swearing on Situationships, you hear similar on Miss Me? Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver's podcast, and they are up for a British Podcast Award. To recap, podcasts are of the moment, potentially lucrative, suit the changing ways viewers and listeners consume content, and swearing on radio and TV is nothing new. You can even hear the US president doing it on the news. Put it like that, and BBC Scotland should be congratulated on taking the initiative with Situationships. It was, after all, its producers who went to Gravia with the idea. Put it like that, and people like me ought to wind our necks in. It's just one show after all, and the BBC is a broad church that caters for many different tastes. Moreover, having watched every episode so far, I can say Gravia and McGuinness are a likeable, funny duo and good luck to them for earning a crust, any crust, in this media landscape. Having said all that, why does this feel like a canary in the coal mine moment for BBC Scotland? Let's start with the swearing. Not cool, particularly on screen. Swearing is fine, if not to everyone's taste, if it's a drama or comedy. In some programmes, The Thick of It/Succession, it has been raised to an art form. But most people would flinch if someone swore loudly in a supermarket or another public place. The same applies to broadcasting. Two people sitting in a studio swearing is ugly, jarring, and unnecessary. More depressing than the swearing is what Situationships says about BBC Scotland's direction of travel, and what it thinks audiences want. Peter Capaldi in The Thick of It (Image: This is a channel, remember, that asked for and received permission from Ofcom to make deep cuts in its peak-time news provision. Out went the hour-long and well-regarded The Nine, in came a half-hour news reheat show at 7pm on BBC Scotland, and the Scotcast podcast. The BBC said the changes would 'play to our strengths as an innovative broadcaster that delivers high-quality journalism to audiences across all our platforms'. How's that working out, then? One growth area is true crime podcasts, which admittedly BBC Scotland does well. But there are quite a few now, among them a recently announced six-part series on the late heroin dealer, Mags Haney. Any more true crime and it will be back to the tired old days when the west of Scotland was known for nothing more than gangs and violence. BBC Scotland is also the channel that swung the axe on River City. When viewers complained, they were told this was all to the good. BBC Scotland was keeping up with the changes in the industry; no one wanted long-running series any more. The money would be going instead on short-run, Netflix-style, high-quality - there's that phrase again - dramas. And anyway, River City wasn't making the numbers and did not offer 'value for money'. I asked BBC Scotland for viewing and listening figures for Situationships, without success. Since it looks like it costs about fifty pence to make, the show probably ticks the box marked value for money. And so a precedent is set. Cheap is in. Cheap is doable. Cheap is good. No one benefits from such an approach. Least of all fans of River City, many of them elderly, or the many working-class youngsters who might have got a precious start in the industry via the soap. But never mind the losses, let's have a chortle at Situationships instead, because that's what BBC Scotland thinks we want. Funny thing is, I don't know who Situationships is for, and I'd bet BBC Scotland doesn't have a clue either. The Holy Grail 18-25 cohort would find it laughable. It's just another ill-considered leap into an already crowded market, one that risks dragging standards down further at a time when they have never been more important - to audiences and the BBC. Whatever future was imagined when the BBC Scotland channel was launched, it was surely not this. Alison Rowat is a Herald feature writer and columnist
