Nearly all are quite pleasant. Some are a bit soft in the head.

I saw this newspaper article and to be honest i was disgusted no matter how the hotel tried to pass it off it was in extremely bad taste after what happened in Tunisa and the horrible threat ofvterrorism we are living with....

Was the report actually true?   I saw the reports of it but not actually any photograph's.. Was it yet another report that MUST be true becuase it was in the papers.?  If it was true then it is despicable...

This link carries a photo of one of the staff dressed up with a so called can of "fuel"  and an alleged "gunman". http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/6586788/Hotel-staff-in-sick-mock-IS-attack-stunt.html

It was reported as a random out of the blue prank in the papers - other people report it was part of a larger, more diverse show which was being narrated by some entertainment chap on a microphone and that it would be ridiculous for anyone to have thought for a moment it might be an ISIS attack.

Not saying that's the case, just saying don't immediately believe a newspaper's version of events.

Probably still not in the best of taste either way though.

A friend of my son's was there and according to what I've been told, while it was in extremely poor taste, it was evidently not a real attack.

There was a narrator, and the fact that Superman was there to save the day was also a major clue....
(Apologies to those who believed he was real!  ;D )

We like nothing better than to be outraged and to get our 15 minutes of fame, do we....the cynic in me might even think some people have an eye on compensation for the trauma and stress this caused.....
