Sounds great, I'm going to take the girls.

I'm happy to report you missed NOTHING. It was a three minute show of questionable quality and some wordsearches for the children to do. Given that most of them were pre-school age, it was not the best activity they could have picked.

Damn I so wanted it to be good. Should we ring the number on the ad and offer "constructive feedback", or should I go disguise myself as a grandmother and go round there and eat them all, options which I sometimes find hard to distinguish.

I sort of shrugged and thought "well it's free, why complain" but thinking about it, these things aren't actually free. The council pays someone to do this and when some of them are so very good (the recent Red Riding Hood themed one at the Hornsey Library for instance), it seems a shame that this was such a waste of time.
