Maybeā€¦ :cjtea:

(Also if you buy a ticket to Beamish it gives you free entry for a year as long as you keep the ticket)

Rimorā€¦ I donā€™t have the moneyā€¦ Iā€™ll make sure to take a trip up there eventually though!

What is it with England and year round tickets to stuff? Can we get that over here?

I thought the legend of Count Dracula was based off Vlad the Impaler seeing as his last name is literally Dracula but heā€™s from Romania

Also hey you better be talking about the English south and not us American southerners other wise I will cry threateningly
