In cruel twist, great expectations dashed

Barkis is willin’ but the Ghost of Christmas Future is not.
It is an embarrassment for the owners RMA Ltd headed by Kevin Christie and a blow to tourism at the Chatham Maritime site....

One worker, who asked not to be named, said: “This is a brilliant idea and we are all very excited but this is bit of a blow and there is a real feeling of upset among staff here.”
Upset indeed. Here these guys were, all set to open a brand new multi-million pound Charles Dickens theme park (there'll always be an England) and the freakin' ghost won't work, along with some other stuff unnamed. So now no park until the 25th of May.
Earlier this week invitations were mailed out to hundreds of journalists and camera crews urging them to come and see the site for themselves just two days before it opened to the public. That event has now been shelved too.
The ghost was manufactured in the United States (but not, apparently, at FermiLab).
