typing with your balls is impressive enough, but to have them hidden behind a protective layer of trouser while doing it just takes the piss

Mm, it's like a British Chernobyl.It's probably a case of rose-tinted specs, but I remember it being much nicer during the 90s.

I went in the 70's...All I remember is, that it was a long drive and not as good as Mablethorpe, Chaple, Ingoldmells or Skegness

Probably WAS rose-tinted specs then.We would go up to Towyn or Llandudno during the Summer for a week. I went back to both towns a year back and I honestly wanted to headbutt the sharp end of a katana. Fucking dire, man.

I like Mablethorpe because it is bad, but it always was........it is a time warp, really not changed since the early 70's still got the same old 50's and 60's slot machines and games...

We weren't well off enough to actually stop in Mablethorpe, we used to stop in Sutton on sea and travle the mile or so to get there...You remember the cowboy manikin that you had to draw against then! in the arcade on the corner..

I can't say I've ever beenbut judging by your description, there's still a few places in Wales like that, really old game machines. The caravan site I'd stay on had an original Pole Position machine inside... probably still has.
It's not a bit like Blackpool, where everything is pretty much new. I'd never stay there though.

Haha yes,Just remeber to wipe your feet before you get back in your car to drive home!
I was last in Blackpool about a year ago.Preston being relatively close to it, I thought 'why not?' and went to see what had changed.
I spent most of my time in Coral Island anyway.

Coral Island's a bit closer to the tower.I was going to go to the fair, but couldn't be arsed in the end. I've still yet to go on the Big One.

If the haunted swing freaked me out, imagine me on the big one! no thanks!
Similar thing happened to me and an ex girlfriend....I was telling her about going to hunstanton as a child, so we just turned the car aroung and drove 3 hours to to get there on the spur of the moment, cold dark raining and closed....

I used to go to Anglesey as a child and had fond memories of HolyheadI went back a few years ago and was horrified...Chavs, litter, boarded-up shops and a lingering stink of death, decay and diesel.

Yep, that's pretty much what most of North Wales is like now. A bloody shame.I think the nicest place I've had a holiday in the UK was Westward Ho! in Devon. Not been for a while so it also might have succumb to degradation, but I remember it being very clean, and not full of mouth-breathing dole-scrounging fuckwits.
