High price for families

IT was a lovely day on bank holiday Monday, and as I was working in my garden I could hear the toot-toot of the famous Thomas the Tank Engine.

As my grandson is Thomas mad, I made a phone call to my son to inform him that Thomas was in town and to take the little one to see him.

My son did this. He was with his wife, little Alfie who is eight months and Sam who is four.

They had their ride to the Island and back, which the kids thought was wonderful. To my utter surprise, the cost was £28 for a 20-minute ride, and Alfie went free!!

I know that the Thomas crowd have got to cover costs, but I wish these people would remember that young families can't afford these sort of prices.
