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?

Nah. there is much worse that Llandudno unless you are there when the pensioners roll into town on the 'Turkey & Tinsel' tours. Scarborough and Ilfracombe spring to mind as shithole seaside towns that I have visited.

Was talking to a lad from Clacton on Saturday. Told me all about Jaywick. BBC done a doc on it a few year back.
Barry's Island anyone.

Drove through Bognor Regis on a Saturday a few weeks ago. Place was completely dead. Hardly a soul about. Not a cloud in the sky...in august too.

The seaside town they forgot to close down

Britain has some really odd seaside towns.

Mablethorpe. What a weird place.
Not quite as weird as Maryport like.

Was in Maryport that I had to persuade this weird kid from not drowning himself in pursuit of his football. Was at the bottom of a sea wall, tide coming in quick, and he seemed totally unaware of everything, or the fact that nobody could see where he was other than us leaning over the wall. Blank and emotionless, bit of Midwich Cuckoo.

I do love run down seaside towns with a passion though: spent the first years of my life in one and always drawn to them since. Not the same if they're too gentrified, they have to have that decaying, Royston Vasey on sea feel for it to really do it for me.

It should have been where The Road was filmed.

Amble. Couldn't see a thing through the clouds of flies.

Had spent a weekend up at Warkworth and Alnmouth earlier this year, stopped at Amble to get some chips on the way home and some kind of Sunday market was on at the quayside. It was grim as hell: like a part of 1970s Eastern Europe that time forgot. Some very odd people around.

Stayed a couple of months ago just south of Bridlington, nice actually with the beach and that. Anyway, walked up to the town centre for a couple of hours and this phrase immediately comes to mind. Had some waltzers there and pained on the sides in various luminous paints were "Disco Music" "Rock Music" etc etc... and "Black Music" :eek::lol:

Made us chuckle, anyway.
