I like the tapping sounds, unintelligible noises on ASMR. If I find I’m more likely to fall asleep that way, a bit like rain against a window. Really relaxing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the ones where she speaks French are good ones to fall asleep to. Lily Whispers ASMR is a good one for True Crime ones. Just hear telling you about a murder case or whatever. Sounds weird but it's very relaxing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted October 13, 2021 Moderator Share Posted October 13, 2021 I just got sent this... Quote Hello I hope this email finds you well. We are regular users of your taxis so would like to offer your drivers an opportunity to see more of Strawberry Field. We would like to invite your drivers to come along to the John Lennon exhibition and learn more about what Strawberry Field is and what we offer in the community. Should they wish to visit they would need to give their name and show id to the front desk. We hope you can help us to get the message out about Strawberry Field to those visiting Liverpool. I look forward to hearing from you soon. On top of the obvious, it was sent by the Salvation Army too, double getting thrown in the waste bin on my PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted October 15, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 15, 2021 Assuming people have been to Cadbury World, would you recommend it for a 4 year old or is it too grown up for that age range? My lad keeps saying he wants to go to a chocolate factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a period a month or two back I couldn't stop "winning" the sodding things everytime I bought fuel at a BP petrol station Oh you've won. Is it a 2 4 1 at a range of tourist attractions I have zero interest in? Yes I haven't won anything then Eventually it got to Oh you... no you haven't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's now only really relevant for a 4 year old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the modern slavery charge against the working conditions of the Oompa-Loompas was the final nail in the coffin.

Ingram85 Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 (edited) When I went as a nipper they had that room of mirrors that when you’re a dumbass little kid you think is a massive endless space. Then there was the Amazon jungle room and you got a little cup of proper hot cocoa without the sugar or milk added. Then it was a walk around the factory (I remember seeing my Nan as she worked there at the time) and a little bit outside in the gardens from what I can remember. My favourite memory though was my Nan getting endless stuff with her staff card, I used to love the bag of off cuts and misshaped stuff. Went a few years ago taking a few patients from work, it’s completely different but still quite good imo, there a little Victorian village which as we went at Christmas time looked great, you still get 3 or 4 bars of chocolate as you make your way around, you get to have a go at making some stuff in moulds, walk around a bit of the factory watching stuff get made and there’s a few videos to sit and watch with holograms explaining stuff and rooms to walk through with a jungle and river. I think it’s quite good. I just want the room of mirrors back. Edited October 16, 2021 by Ingram85 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to love going to the staff shop. My Dad worked at Cadburys but passed away before I was 1. My mom got one of the cards with his work pension. So it was always a nice link to him when we went. Likewise every Christmas my mom was sent a box of goodies which was exciting every year and again felt extra special to me. I'm sure my mom probably dreaded it as me and my brother would try and claim the best bits. That all stopped when Kraft took over though. As for Cadbury World I'd say a 4 year old would enjoy it but the best age range being about 6-11, as they would get a bit more out of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear about your Dad, was nice that they continued to remember him and send stuff. Having looked at their website I got the feeling that he's a few years too young to make the most of it but we'll see how he's getting on over half term and decide whether or not to go.

sidcow Posted October 17, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted October 17, 2021 Do you remember that time when everyone had to run off and fill up their cars and Jerry cans to the brim because we were going to run out of petrol? Whatever happened to that? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
