Excellent thread. 
@gillythedilf
Been on two the past year mate with @Voice of fair play of our better halfs. First one was Chester and Cheshire oaks shopping place. Was a great trip, got about 3 hrs in Chester before heading to hotel on the Saturday. Hotel not the best tbh, food was ok but bar area was canny and that had a singer on. We just found a few comfy seats and had a few drinks and bit chat. Sunday we got a good 4-5 hours in the shopping place iirc. Good designer outlet place. Think designer outlet at York and that's the type of thing it is. Great trip overall and cracking value at £69
About 2 months back we done the Yorkshire Dales one. Only downside on this one is they try to squeeze to many places in so you only spending couple of hours here and a hour or so there. Means to long spent on bus trying to fight your way round the tight bendy roads. Visited Grassington, ottley and about three other places. Hotel was much nicer though, was a holiday inn with cracking food and nice bar area to relax over a few beers.
Next one to Grassington Xmas market and Leeds is booked up for early December

It definitely is tbf.I notice you've now stopped pretending that 'che' is a thing.
These trips sound class for the price like.

Think I'm just not hearing it when anyone says it.
Ms Z loves National Holidays. Probably been on about 10. I usually grumble but a few of them were canny enough (the food is nearly always crap mind so usually eat elsewhere). Best was probably Arrochar in Scotland - sacked off the day trips and went walking for a couple of days. Driver was ok with it though I could imagine some of them kicking up a fuss.

Some cracking boozers in Arrochar, we stay in the forest lodges in the other side of the loch every January. Love the place me like, planning a rail trip to Oban for the day next Jan.

I've only heard people say it who are from south of the river. No idea what it's purpose is.

I’d say it’s lads from council estates who work on building sites,down the yards/pits who would say che like che.

Dunno like, I grew up in Hendon and half my family worked in the pits / yards as well as loads of mates. I used to work in bookies shops all over the area as well when I was doing A levels / uni. Like I said earlier, I can only think I've never noticed it.
A lad I went to junior school with’s dad used to finish sentences with che, but he was from Hylton Redhouse way, although he lived in Pallion at the time. I think it’s more from the north side of the river. Remarkable how language changes over such a small distance.

£140 for a poor hotel and a bus trip? Sounds like poor value for money to me.
Could book a nice hotel yourself and get the mega bus somewhere for less.
This. It's like pre internet Groupon.

Maybe not Cheshire but plenty other places.
According to this thread the food is generally poor so spoons for evening meal and breakfast will do!
Megabus £15 a head
Meals £8 a head
£90 will get you a decent hotel in most citys.
Go on your own schedule and do what you want when you want.
