Butlins, Skegness

[TheWanderer]

My sister worked down Skegness as a dancer a few years back. Went down to visit a few times, great for the kids. One of the adult only weekends could probably be canny too.

Seems like a class place to work for a season if you're a young'un.

Some lads I know go every year for the 80s weekend, one long fuck fest apparently.

 

[Typhoonftm]

I won a dance competition down there back in the 80's and got the semi finals in Llandudno which I also won.

How can you get to the semi final and win it???

but the wife isn't keen.

She from Washy ffs! Should be you thats turning your nose up at it!

I came first in the semi final. Got three holidays out of one due to my busting moves.

were you dancing in the body popping style there mate? out of interest

 

[Old Prestonian]

Pure filth-plenty of lube

Exactly. The entertainment at Centreparcs is legendary.

 

[shogun1904]

I bet it's a fraction of the price though!

3rd time to Centre Parcs this summer, it's good, but over priced.

I like but our lass likes to go every year, this year we are going in December then going again at easter. No wonder I am always skint.

I was not a 'Popper' but a 'Breaker', although I done some popping because busting moves for a full track is very hard work.

This time I'm restricting the eating out and eating in the lodge more, which should save a fortune. I've tried all the restaurants, and all bang average apart from the carvery which was top notch, so might get in there one night.

EH, have you banged your head or something? You win the 3rd round heat to go to the semi final, win the semi final and so get to the Grand Final. What is complicated about that?

Since moving her from Blackfell to Silksworth/Tunstall/Ryhope/Mill Hill she's become a snob!

Aye you could save a fortune doing that. We won't though infact I think she already has us booked infor the restauraunts for the christmas trip. She likes to be organised.

So if you won it, it would be fairly obvious you got to the semi finals man! You didnt need to confuse matters!

Aye.

 

[the streaker]

Did a music weekend there in October. .. £65 for three nights but the on site food places are overpriced. ..nowt wrong with the accommodation though..

 

[Sneech]

Surprisingly good

Went there for a good few years when the bairns were little, it was spot on, plenty to do, and better for them than the boredom of a 'beach' holiday abroad, even though it probably cost more

Used to go into skeggy as well, the seal sanctuary was canny and the fair although I used to spend a small fortune on the river rapids ride.

 

[shogun1904]

Aye.

Unlucky marra.

 

[tunstall birdman]

Unlucky marra.

I was gutted.

 

[shogun1904]

I was gutted.

Probably would have married a celeb and be famous now if you had won it.
