by | 18th, February 2011

BIG news from Hampshire is that brothers Victor and Henry Mears have been convicted of misleading thousands of customers into visiting a what they claimed was a Lapland-style theme park.

Mums and dads left disappointed at the Lapland lies can now rest assured that when the good little boys and girls write to Santa next year, he’ll get them something better than a day out in boggy field covered in fake snow…
