Billing Aquadrome

Anyone been?

As I'm often heading down the M1 through Northampton I see signs to this place and always wondered what the hell it was.

Turns out to be a caravan/campsite thing but some of the reviews on Tripadvisor are a hoot.  A selection:

“we had thought we had landed on a set out of shameless”

“Got to our caravan to find a broken down car outside it with no number plates”

“Want your toddler to learn how to swear and shout obscenities? Book now.”

“Luckily he was evicted the next day only to threaten others with being stabbed”

“The swimming pool was closed for both Saturday and Sunday because of vomit”

“The toilet and shower block were no more than disgusting, toilet doors missing, lights not working, toilet roll in just a few cubicles, toilet seats broken and falling off!”

“They claim to have a pancake bar and gourmet burger selection, but when asked where they were - none of the staff knew anything about them. The best they could guess was the menu had been changed. Which brings me onto my next point, the so called restaurant is just the bar in the swimming pool!”

 “we decided just go home”

PLEASE SAVE YOUR MONEY, DO NOT GO TO THIS HELL HOLE”

Used to go as a kid as it's not far and as a kid you don't notice such things, but I've heard it's an absolute shithole now - so it was probably back then too.

We should arrange a WW Weekender there.

Stapely water gardens is another one satan.

 

Always wondered what the fuck goes down in there.

Some friends of mine went for a weekend piss up.....they were back home within 4 hours of leaving, apparently it was he'll on earth, just full of scutters drinking cider and shouting a lot whilst their kids ran amok

 RHS: "Stapeley Water Gardens near Nantwich in Cheshire, famous for its tropical palm display house, has closed after 45 years to make way for a housing development."

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Bottom of the moors.

I've lived in H most of my life but don't know why Tanners brew is called that. I've not a clue who the Tanners are. Happen they're Ridders

I always assumed there was a tannery there in the olden days?

Had a boss who was a ridder, always screaming at me at work, he was nicknamed the coal queen.
