Advantages: A strong British sitcom Disadvantages: Still has it's odd critic
Name a decent British sitcom from the last 5 years....now name one that isn't written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant....or David Mitchell and Robert Webb...all you're left with (in my opinion) is a little known sitcom written by Ruth Jones and James Corden that has escalated from a bit-part in the schedule of BBC Three to one of the most loved comedies of recent years - Gavin & Stacey.
The story goes of two people who have never met, Gavin (Matthew Horne) and Stacey (Joanna Page), but eventually decide to do so after months of chatting to one another over the phone. Upon meeting in the middle of Leicester Square along with their best mates, Smithy (played by Corden) and Nessa (Jones), they hit it off and decide it was one of the best decisions they ever made. The same can't be said about Smithy and Nessa however...

Advantages: Fun for adults, fun for children, good day out Disadvantages: Overpriced, queing times
I have been visiting Thorpe Park since I was a child. The last time I visited was last year so that's primarily what I'll be basing this review on.
The park is situated in Stains, Surrey and is open from February to November each year. I go by car, it is all very well signed up and easy to find. You can also get there easily by train, where you can then get a shuttle bus to and from the station and the park. Coach trips also run regularly from London Victoria.
The park opens between 9.30 - 10.00am depending on when you visit and closes between 5.00 - 10.00pm depending again on when you visit. The last time I visited we got there at about 10.30am and had no problems parking, although queing for tickets wasn't much fun. Tickets cost us a ghastly £35.00 each (although I found out afterwards that you can get adult tickets for £26 ...
