The Auschwitz memorial serves as a reminder of the depths of human depravity and commemorates more than a million Jewish people who were exterminated by the Nazis during the Holocaust.

Yet for one British family visiting the former concentration camp, there were more pressing concerns: the prices at the nearby café.

A tourist named Lynne, who posts on TikTok under the name FreeSpirit666, has drawn widespread ire for a video in which she criticised the prices at a coffee shop and accused the memorial of being a "money-making scheme".

"Here's a tip if you're going to Auschwitz," she told followers in a video captioned "Prices of Auschwitz", adding: "Take a drink with you. I got a strawberry smoothie which tasted very watered down."[/size]

In the video, which has been viewed four million times since being posted last week, Lynne also took issue with the café's lack of alternative milks, saying: "We fancied a coffee because we were early but they don't do decaf or any milk other than real milk – so we gave that a miss."
Her daughter Kerry then complains that her lemonade tasted like toilet cleaner. "They cost £9 for both of them. Very expensive," Lynne added: "When you come to Auschwitz, bring some food and drink. Although, you do get frisked at the door."

No,  I asked how your dog is doing  now,  not how old he is.  

Good morning all,  on yet another lovely sunny day.

A trip to the tip today.  Not looking forward to it as there are always long queues to get in.   I often find it best to go late afternoon after the schools have gone home, its usually a bit quieter then.

I have someone coming to fix my shed door this afternoon.   It seems to have dropped and it doesn't open as wide as it used to.   The bolt doesn't line up either, so its getting difficult to lock it up at night.

Dear oh dear, Scrumps,   I am like you and don't do night driving anymore, so I understand why you wanted it earlier.   Good job you phoned again,  after that first old bat wasn't any help. 

I miss playing all these games Come back Mike n Tabby.
