  1. Hi, we are looking to buy a new cooker we know to be sold by Geant.  We have a property between Montmorillon and Le Blanc in 86 ... does anybody know of a Geant near there please?
  2. Mick, Haven't been to Alton Towers for 4 or 5 years but from how we found it then I'd rate it about 8.5/10 as it has thrill rides etc.  Futuroscope has some simulator stuff but no roller-coasters etc. For us, we roughly rate the following: Futuroscope 7/10 Drayton Manor Park (West Midlands) 7/10 Alton Towers 8.5/10 Florida Parks (ie Universal Studios) 10/10   Mark.  
  3. Mick ... I think this kind of depends on your expectations.  We took the kids (14 and 11 year olds) last year and they found it enjoyable but a bit tame, the trouble is that we've done the Florida parks in the past and that spoils them for anywhere else. Many of the attractions are based on an educational theme and the nobility of that was a bit lost my kids who basically just want the s*** scared out of them (or more likely me and mum) on some stomach churning g-force 20 rides. As for doing the park in a day ... well we went right at the start of September (just after the French schools were open again I think) and I'll say that you could do it all in a day but you'd have to be pretty determined.  We went with that intention but by about 4pm I was well knackered as we marched from one attraction to the next and we called it a day at that point.  A good call on reflection as it leaves us some things to see this year when we'll probably go again. On the whole, for our family I'd rate it about 7/10 and advise others to just make it a 1-day visit at a leisurely pace and accept that you won't get around all of the park. Have a nice time ...
