My name's Ben and I'm a Wakeyholic.

I imagine when Melon Husk is using AI to make all those big government decisions he'll be starting with the phrase "What would Visit Wakefield do?".

I'd just like to say that as a serious tourism account, I won't entertain undermining British politics and supporting a candidate who is evidently a joke, with no serious policies. Therefore, I announce that I will be endorsing Count Bin Face in the upcoming Clacton election.

I hear they’ve got a castle in Kent too. Land grabbing hipsters.

Apparently the designer outlet at junction 32, which is in Glasshouton, near Castleford and within the Wakefield District is now called "Designer Outlet Leeds". What a crock of shit.

A party political message from the Reform Party: Bins are infecting our society, many imported from Europe and beyond, not understanding our ways. Do you want bins on every street corner, coveting our most innocent refuse and demanding emptying by the public purse? Don't vote bins, vote Farage.

Adverts I've been fed today: -Tired of washing smelling musty after drying inside?... -Sick of the British weather, go and work in sunny Spain... I think the algorithm needs to be linked to the weather forecast.

Has anyone noticed that after nearly 30 years of no corn trading in the Leeds Corn Exchange, corn sellers have started taking to the streets?

Years ago when Huddersfield Bus Station announced they were going to play classical music to stop folk fighting, I was there on the first Friday night of the experiment, and they were blasting “Mars, Bringer of War” from Holst’s Planets Suite over the speakers. Splendid stuff!

Spent an evening in Barry Island last night, hoping for a traditional night of Rarebit, Cawl, warm ale and fighting. Instead I found street food, craft ale, wine bars and party bingo. Even Saltaire have got their mitts in.

If you're travelling to Wakefield, here's our heatwave advice: Take of your shirt, you'll be a lot cooler when the sun can get to your skin. Drink plenty of alcohol. Keep yourself drunk then you won't notice the dehydration. Wear maximum factor 8 sun cream, otherwise you won't get a decent tan.

Taking notes from Turkey to improve Wakefield's tourism industry: ✅ A huge basket of bread with every meal, even if its just one person eating, or the meal is largely bread based. ✅ Shop keepers calling everyone "my friend" whilst standing in the doorway so you can't get in the shop.

Wikipedia 2030: Donald J Trump was the 45th and 47th US President. During his tenure, he adopted controversial right wing policies which often infringed human rights. Eventually his popularity plummeted and he was deposed due to hiring a cowboy to refurbish his pool.

This was an interesting find. Zeki Müren's house in Bodrum. He was a very popular musician in Turkey and slowly changed his identity to help pave the way for cross-dressers in this conservative society.

Currently reading a translation of Plato's Repiblic. It's a tough read, TBH, it's tempting to read the notes and not the translated text. It's basically written in ancient Greek text speak. My hope was that there must be something to take away, being such a seminal text.
