To be fair, the claim wasn't in relation to the replica ark itself, but to damage caused to the theme park in which it sat.

That pub is owned/landlorded by a bloke who stood for mayor (of Bristol) in the recent elections (and IIRC back on 2016 too) on, you will be totally amazed to hear, an anti-lockdown platform.

Everyone from the North East named in the Queen's Birthday Honours list 2021.  What, all two million-odd of them?  Seems a bit unfair…

It's also a mis-described property, apparently being both detached and semi-detached at the same time.

When I lived in Liverpool you couldn't have probably bought the entire city with less than £200k.

If you'd offered Thatcher (spits) £200k for Scouseville she'd have bitten your hand off.
