With a heat wave on the horizon, Mulligans Birmingham has revealed that almost a third of people said that insects are the worst thing about summer.
29.4% answered that creepy crawlies are their top gripe, whether it’s enduring mosquito bites, flies invading the house, wasps chasing the children or the dreaded flying ant day, Brits are keen to avoid all insects.
One person noted their top bugbear is “leaving the back door open and within five minutes flies are having a party everywhere in the house”, while another said, “flies, wasps, thunderbugs, and mosquitoes are the worst!”
The second most popular grumble was the weather, with almost a third of people (28.4%) complaining that it’s often too hot or too cold; that the sun is too intense or the rain never stops; or that they don’t know how to dress for the unpredictable weather.
Denouncing the weather, one respondent said their biggest summer gripe is “the forever changing unpredictable weather – we experience all four seasons in one day!”
Other popular bugbears are hay fever, putting on suncream, sand getting in unwanted places, and even other people complaining about the weather.
To give Brits an escape plan, Mulligans Birmingham along with 12 other Mulligans and BUNKERS venues across the UK, is giving guests 50% off a return visit, when they book and play any bookable game before 1st September, which includes crazy golf, pool, electro-darts, shuffleboard and ping pong.
