Weird seaside towns

[Dinsdale]

Had the misfortune to be in Cromer a couple of weeks ago, which was an experience I'd rather not repeat. Mablethorpe is awful. The other half is from Maryport and I actually think its alright

Nowt is as weird as Shields

Quite right that this is the first reply

People in glass houses...

Llandudno is a f***ing hovel.

That''s just f***ing daft, the architecture of the hotels on the prom is magnificent and by comparison to South Shields it is Las Vegas.

I do too, and I've been to many worse places, but you have to admit it is weird though. Smallest cathedral in the world. Crocodile Rock. Cafés from the 50s. Ferry dumps you in the middle of nowhere.

Thick of vagrants. Manky.

I think you must've been in Piccadilly Gardens not Llandudno.

Llandudno is like Monaco when compared to Rhyl.

Spent a lot of time in Bangor (anar anar) and visited Llandudno twice. Both times I thought it was horrible. Beggars all over the little centre - views of the sea spoiled by the road, train line and those awful coal staithes or whatever it was they were/are mining there.

It was about a decade ago, maybe I've went on a couple of bad days since you seem to think the place is lovely. I've always thought it was generally regarded as a shithole?

Grimsby and Great Yarmouth

New Brighton takes some beating, the seaside equivalent of Royston Vasey.

Bognor Regis is a strange place like. Full of the shite Chichester doesn't want.

Oye. I actually live in Aldwick which is the posher part

Craster in Northumberland, fuck all there

Do many villages of sub 500 people have much there?

I’d say it’s kicking well above it’s weight given it has its own dish pretty much. A nice pub with garden too and Dusntanburgh and Newton a canny walk up the coast too.

Llandudno is like Monaco when compared to Rhyl.

One of, if not, the grimmest places in the UK. We didn’t even bother getting out the car after driving through the town centre looking for parking.

Brighton. Full of proper weirdo's.

If you're one of them non binary gender lads/lass then this is the place for you.

I done my annual bike ride to there last year. Went to the station to catch the train home and there was a woman with a lampshade on her heed in the station.

Skeggy is out there on its own

Has the added bonus of some investment in recent years at least.

 

[kossoff]

Aren't most of them weird including places like Blackpool?
