There used to be one of those at Chester Zoo, but they took it down.

 

Merry Hill shopping centre had one to get around the various bits.

IIRC It went to Queensland.

One of our notorious MP's has claimed that he was in a pub watching France & Australia playing in the WWC. Apparently he wondered what all the fuss was about, with a dramatic finish that had everyone talking - the penalty shoot out.

 

It appears that everyone was watching this friendly game from last month on the wrong TV channel!

I forgot to mention, that it was Barnaby Joyce, which explains all!

It went to Broadbeach on the Gold Coast and ran a 1.3 km loop between a hotel and a casino.

 

 

The line was mothballed in 2017 due to life expired components and a lack of spare parts (a common theme with Von Roll monorails) and the train was sold in 2022.

That actually happened in a pub near me after the barmaid had put the wrong channel on. She wouldn't have it, even though we were telling her it's about to kick off on the other side and that was just part of the SKY build up.

 

They were showing the 2005 Champions League Final between Liverpool and AC Milan when the 2007 Final between the same teams should have been on!

 

Finally got through to her but we had missed the first 20 minutes of the actual match.....

It comes with any certificate you want; hang on, I'll print one off for you now, don't mean it's got a safe hot water and heating system or anything else...

 

I saw a recent story, that they had to clear the inhabitants out for a while, as they suspected Legionnaires was present...  Oops.
