Holiday Plans Of Barnsley Families In Tatters As Maplin’s Goes Bust
2018-02-28
Barnsley went into meltdown this morning with the news that Maplin’s is on the brink of collapse. Thousands of local residents have already booked their 2018 holidays at the holiday camp, made famous in the 1980’s reality show, Hi De Hi. The news of the imminent collapse will come as a serious blow to local families who were planning something special this year, but will now be forced to rent a tin box in a field at Mablethorpe as usual.
“It’s gutting,” said Mandy Pumps from Wombwell who spoke to us through an interpreter “We were looking forward to seeing Ted Bovis and Spike in the Hawaiian Ballroom. This has come as a massive shock. I don’t think Peggy will work again.”
We tried to get a comment from a Maplin’s spokesperson, but feelings are clearly still running high. The person who answered the phone asked if we were taking the piss, before hanging up.
