This is the Toaster in the Alton Towers Hotel, you feed a piece of bread in and watch it on its journey all the way round until it plops out at the bottom.

See the letter personally handwritten by the Toaster.  It most politely implores guest not to fiddle with its dials.  Mr Merry did fiddle with the dials.  To punish him the Toaster delivered burnt toast.  Everyone else got very pale toast.
How thankful Alton Towers must be that I can't go on holidays.

Pesky Mr Merry. Was it edible burnt or nasty charcoal burnt.
Edible burnt is my favourite I don't like pale. If you are having toast you need the bread to be toasted not just warmed.
It was edible burnt, but he still wasn't particularly pleased with the poor toaster.

It is a good breakfast there, help yourself to fresh fruit salads, cereals, croissants, chocolate pastries, danishes, fresh-baked bread rolls white and brown, not to mention bacon sausage and eggs etc, so only a chap very set in his ways would be insisting on toast like he can have every morning at home the other 363 days a year  :rolleyes

PS yes I did come home half a stone heavier :(  it was the icecream sundaes that did it.
Did you go on all the upside down rides and if so did you all still feel like eating the toast.

Does weight really go on (or off?) that quickly. I wondered this about big brother as they are complaining about not fitting into clothes but they have only been there a week.
We did many upside-down rides yes, though we passed on Oblivion (sheer drop) and Rita (too fast) this year.  We also did gentle ones such as the Riverbank Ride round a little river with animals (not real ones) on the banks.  And Squirrel Nutty where you travel round the treetops in your own personal Acorn, pushed by a squirrel.

The tractors which we always do for Old Times' Sake broke down and we had to be evacuated!  Great excitement as the 'farmhand' operating the tractors had been waiting for this moment for years and followed procedures to the letter, despite us all being over the age of 4 and therefore well able to step over the 2 inch tracks between stationary tractors without mishap.

I didn't dare weigh myself so half a stone is only a guess, but I felt actual fat growing around my middle and all my clothes got very tight practically overnight.  It is a bit unfair as we walked miles and miles every day but it is just too easy to overeat surrounded by stalls of every nice pretty thing exactly like the Wonka factory.

I have some pictures which I'll post but havent had time to resize them yet.  Hopefully I won't look so fat when only 70 pixels wide  :D

:lol

Why not do an uneven resize, compressing the horizontal axis more than the vertical?  ;)
:lol   But that would be... cheating!  

*rushes into Paint, feverishly unticking 'preserve aspect ratio'....
:lol I think we must keep an eye out for future merry pics. The ones standing in front of oval clocks and very narrow, but tall train carriages.

It does sound like you had a wonderful time. I'd have skipped the most strenuous rides too, but would have enjoyed the rest.

The food would have been a great temptation. It's not just the icecream sundae is it. It's the bacon tuesday and the chips wednesday.
