Reminds me of a night on Sam Smiths Tadcaster Ale, followed by an unwise doner kebab decision.

It is. The management company that was supposed to operate and fix it didn't, and it's had some downtime while they figured out what to do with it, but the City and Port took it over and recently reopened it for tours. Hopefully it's coming back to full strength soon.

I wish my grandsons were little again so that I could read them this story. I would have been awarded many Granny points.
