It was a riot!

Pontins apparently hosted its very own riot on New Year's Eve. Apparently the Fun Factory at Prestatyn turned out to be anything but for many folk as they sheltered beneath tables, righted upturned wheelchairs and watched the Police Helicopter as it droned overhead.

Worrying things, riots. There's a hopeless. fear-induced terror when caught in the midst of a very large group of inebriated individuals of low intellect and apparently utterly out of control. Parallels with the average CCBC sub-committee meetings aside, one has to feel for families of young children as they see adults behaving so badly.  Coupled with the news that Alcohol is responsible for £7.2bn in NHS costs, perhaps it's time to start thinking about how the industry should be making more of a contribution than it already does and also about treatment for self-induced problems on the NHS. Mind you, if we go down that road, it's hard to know where to stop.  Happy New second day!
