Very sad for sure. But I get lost trying to parse the article. Google says “Caravan park” is like an rv park. Generally for recreational vehicles on vacation. But the image looks like a fixed structure type place. Google also says a caravan park is for spending holidays, and the article talks about them being excited to spend the holidays together. So I thought I had an idea of what this was. Then the article has a bingo caller saying that everyone behind the bar knew them well. And my first thought was… she’s 10… in the US, “behind the bar” means bartender. My second was that doesn’t sound like a holiday place. Can someone fill me in on what a caravan park is, what behind the bar means, and what kind of place this pub is. Thanks.

    Not a brit so could be wrong, but in terms of the caravan park: I’ve seen stuff like that in british shows like “rich kid skint holiday”. You can rent out a caravan to stay in for cheap, so it’s basically a room one step above a hostel but below an airbnb or a hotel

    And for bars/pubs… well in my country at least a lot of bars are essentially just restaurants with a bigger alcohol selection, you can just go there to get a meal and enjoy the atmosphere, so it wouldn’t be surprising seeing a 10 year old with family there

    Again, im not from the UK so im just assuming :3
