leigh white Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Butlins used to be the highlight of the year, couldnt wait to get to Pwllheli, full of scouse and manc loudmouths, crap food, tiny little chalets, yet used to love the place. Never been back since 1967.

Exiled Girl Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Pontins, Blackpool for 3 years, Morecambe once. B&B in Blackpool once, just me & nan. B&B in Morecambe with mum & dad when I was 3 - most memorable thing about that hol was watching the dumb waiter taking the plates, I would sit there wondering where the plates went to and how it worked. I also remember running off to look at some animal statues, in fact mum has several pics of my rear view disappearing into the distance at speed on that hol Otherwise it was days out on the coach during Bolton Holidays as we were poor.

brixton Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 Rhyl what a shite hole that is Used to go to Golden sands caravan park every year in Rhyl with my mate and his family. At the time i thought it was superb. Highlight of the day was throwing stones at the jellyfish when the tide was coming in. Went back the other year and its a dump.

Exiled Girl Posted February 7, 2006 Posted February 7, 2006 .............. How did Colin Crompton miss out on the "Dumb Waiter" joke about Morecambe ? I deliberately missed out my memorable trip on the Moby Dick. Photos available :-$
bwfc_sue Posted February 8, 2006 Posted February 8, 2006 Pentewen Sands Cornwall, highlight of that hol was going in the Ship Inn playing on the track and field game arcade that were all the rage, oh how we had sore fingers 8-[ Also when I was about 10 we went on the ferry to Spain for a 3 week camping trip, got lethered of my mum as I was very sick on the crossing and my cabin key just happened to be on my finger when I lobbed my sick bag overboard. Hence, the key going in too
