Is).

At least 61 people who suffered inclement weather were stranded at the Tan Hill Inn to watch Oasis’ cover band Noasis.

Noasis (who adopted a new surname, ” snoesis“) took stock of the situation on Facebook on Monday morning:” The roads are still very snowy and the main road is still closed, it has not yet been cleared of snow as vehicles have to pass through collapsed power lines. According to him, there is no question of leaving here before the end of the afternoon or the whole day! ,

The Tan Hill Inn has a few bedrooms and an outdoor area for RVs and caravans, but most of those stranded sleep on sofas and mattresses in the pub lounge. To pass the time, fifty or so people occupied themselves with quizzes in pubs, puzzles, movies (like grease And oh mama!), and even a little karaoke (a lot of oasis, obviously). Townsend also made sure the food was in no danger of running out as the pub is stocking up for the winter (a group is already stuck in Tan Hill on New Year’s Day).

Nicola Townsend told new York Times that there were only two guests left and that they would only stay for one more night, while the roads became more walkable. Despite this surreal ordeal, Townsend said the farewell was poignant: ” We had such a great time meeting new friends, getting to know new people. ,

Feather Facebook, Noasis officially announced to be ” left the building , “. He added: ” Thank you all for your messages of support, for the camaraderie in the room. Thanks to the place’s manager Mike, Nicola and their wonderful team for taking care of all of us and thanks to Kendall Mountain Rescue for all their assistance. Thank you very much even if we forgot someone! ,
