Theme park bans lone adults in case they're paedophiles

Thank you everyone for your feedback regarding our entrance policy. Please find the latest statement issued to the media this morning. We listen to our customers and would welcome all feedback.This is a family attraction and would ask all comments are made in the appropriate polite manner.

Alistair Mead Managing Director of Puxton Park, said: "The main aspect not being reported is that Puxton Park is predominantly an attraction for children aged 0 years to 7 years with 90% of the park dedicated fully to child’s play, which is not suitable for lone adults.

“Some adults may be interested in our falconry department and we offer falconry experience days which are open to all. We have not set out to discriminate against single adults but we take child protection extremely seriously.

“We would rather be over zealous when unaccompanied adults visit us armed with cameras than put children at any potential risk. Even schools follow similar policies with regards to the photography of children.

“Our members fully support our decisions and we have received nothing but praise for our policy including positive feedback from a Child Protection Specialist, who commended us for our child protection principals.

"Within seven years we have only had one complaint about this policy from the gentlemen last week.

"At the time of setting the policy the other parks within the area had a similar stance to us. I have spoken to two or three similar client based parks this morning and they still have the same policy as we do. I’m not going to name names as it’s unprofessional of me to do so.

"In light of this coverage we will look at what other parks are doing with their admissions policy, speak to our customers and review."

Dear Puxton Park,

I was reading a news article about your policy of not allowing lone adults into the park, and thought that your falconry displays would be wonderful to attend with my girlfriend. We would also be interested in visiting the lovely farm shop you have.

The problem is my girlfriend is deceased. She would be happy to attend in spirit only if you are not happy with corpses being pushed around the park in wheelchairs, but I realise that non-spiritually-aware people will understandably be alarmed for their children's safety if they believe that I am walking around on my own due to my unfortunate gender.

Is there some compromise we could come to? Are any of your staff trained in mediumship, and able to verify that I am in fact accompanied by my girlfriend? If she attends physically, will I have to pay the full admission fee for her (I think the deceased should qualify for a concession. Don't you?), and will your staff be happy to help her on and off of the rides? She's very light, but I have a sod of a bad back.

Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you soon.

PS: I'd just like to point out that despite being a male, your female guests of all ages are quite safe from me, unless they drop dead suddenly, which hardly ever happens!

Thanks again.

It was worth writing then!

I might even send it to them...
