I understand that Doctor Who decided to go with the public consciousness forgetting about all these alien invasions to justify the newest companions not having knowledge about certain enemies and such, but I still think the peak explanation for not knowing anything is Donna Noble just straight up not knowing about these events due to being hungover/scuba diving in a different country.

I still find it so funny that Path of Fire takes place in the Crystal Desert because like:
Rogue human god cast out by his peers goes on a revenge crusade during which he tears through the Crystal Desert/Elona and leaves permanent damage and corruption in his wake part 2, electric boogaloo (now it’s fire themed)
If a worker who isn't the owner says ANYTHING similar to "I'm not really supposed to do this but-" and then does something that helps you, under no circumstances inform the business, including through reviews. You tell them that the worker was polite, professional, the very model of customer service and why you like to go there. You do not breathe a word of the rulebreaking.
