Anyone remember Seaburn Camp which was where Morrisons is now? Kids came from as far away as Hendon to stay there .

Na its not at all. Thats just some bizarre rumour that is popular to post on here, like gravy spilled on their tops, weird patta. Benidorms full of English, its a cracking place for a cheap, hot break.Sounds full of mags so it's a no from me.
I went to Butlins a couple of times when I was 8 or 9 ish. So 1964 ish.
Which means I was Iieing on the other holiday thread when I said I’d never been on an all inclusive holiday.
I wouldn’t be seen dead in one of those places now but I suppose they’re good for families. Must have been why my parents took four kids to Butlins.
I've been to the one in Southport many times. It's fairly shabby. Although, I haven't been there for about 8 or 9 years, so it may have gotten a makeover.
We went there around the same time and the accommodation was the worst ive ever experienced by some quite distance (and ive stayed in some shithole B&B's in Blackpool). Mould all over, stains on bed sheets, broken window. And what was even more unbelievable that in this day & age, that electricity & bed sheets dont come as standard. I reckon i'd get better staying in a 3rd world country.
It was sold onto Britannia hotels a few years so might have had a bit of modernisation since.
Well, I was never there on holidays really. I used to go there a couple of times a year for a music festival, so we only used the accommodation as a place to get a couple of hours kip before we were straight back out again. The grim chalets were part of the charm. Some fantastic memories from there.
We have just booked up to go to the Butlins Blues/Rock weekender next January. Got discount for early booking, gold apartment with upgraded dining for £600.Well, I was never there on holidays really.

Honestly mate it's awful. I think it is the only holiday/break where I have packed up and left a day early.I've never been and wouldn't go to Haggerston, all the mags at work seem to love the place. Well there and Benidorm.

I think he meant 3 meals a day inclusive, not alchohol as well. If booze had been included the local undertakers would be millionaires and Butlins would have gone bust in the fifties.Butlins were never all inclusive man. Half the holiday makers would have gone home in a coffin.
Was it?? Used to go every year!Was gutted to see the bpool one flattened. Good memories!
