Won't anyone think of the children??!!


After reading this recent article, where a lone male was turned away from Puxton Park in Somerset because he was on his own (because clearly, anyone going anywhere on their own is a danger to children), I took a look at the park's website and paid particular attention to their pricing and terms & conditions of entry... and having noticed a flaw, decided to email them as follows:

Hello!
My name's Dave, and I'm hoping to come and visit your park very soon.

Unfortunately, I'm struggling to understand your terms and conditions - I'm 17 years old, which means I'm classed as a child according to your website:


Further down on your entry terms, you also mention the following points:


Now, as a 17 year old (almost 18!), I definitely don't fall in the "under 17" category (simple maths dictates that 16 and below is "under 17"), so taking your published terms at face value, I assume I can come into the park unaccompanied by an adult, and also alone - I'm not single (I have a girlfriend, she just doesn't want to come as she freaks out whenever she sees a bird of prey).

I'd be grateful if you can confirm that I've interpreted your published terms and conditions correctly - and if I haven't, can you let me know exactly which conditions I've not met (assuming you've not just made an error in writing the terms, of course?)  

I look forward to your reply.

Regards,
Dave
