Weird seaside towns

Rhyl is the biggest shithole I’ve ever been too

Reminded me of this topper programme.

Was in Scarborough at the weekend, depressing. Hotels appear to be in a race to the bottom

We were there last week and thought it was canny. Weather was amazing and we happened on a massive soul festival so the place was heaving. Quite enjoyed Dreamland, and the had the best ice cream in a shop in the Old Town. I’d go again.

Ramsgate on the other hand...

I had some decent dressed crab but I won’t be returning.

You’re about the fifth person to say to me about Ramsgate mind. A friend of a friend moved there from London and people who’ve been to visit him say it’s grim as fuck.

I was told Eyemouth was a really nice place to visit. It isnt.

I haven't been for years but I've heard it's declined economically. It has the lowest mean pay for any place in the country apparently.

Certainly looks that way, read the reviews from The Grand, bloody awful

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

We stayed there before Liverpool 90/91. It was creepy.

Down here, Hayling Island is always interesting.

Went there as a young un 1971-ish. Sounds like it hasn't changed !

Kirkcaldy. Now that's a weird place!
At least Maryport and Silloth have nice old buildings.

Margate is like a scene from Walking Dead.

I went once ,it was closed

Warden Bay/Leysdown on the Isle of Sheppey is an absolute hole.

Nice seafront but turns into one massive housing estates 50 yards in from the beach.

Glad I'm not alone. Lot of people seem to love it, I just found it a bit depressing.

Amble's class man. I mean it's easy for me to say as I've got a few mates up there and have spent numerous days of my life stumbling about their place away with the fairies but I always get a proper nostalgic old village community feel whenever I visit. The main street is always packed in an age where everything is done via a remote, mobile phone or a computer and everyone knows everyone. Couple of proper traditional chippys, 2 or 3 real pubs within 50 yards of each other 20 odd miles away from the hustle and bustle of city life and plenty of proper MLFs who go home and away despite residing 50 miles who always look out for each other in amongst a sea of black and white fuckers.

package holidays to spain etc have had pretty much the same effect on Uk coastal resorts as the Internet has had on high st shopping.

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

48 years ago I lived in Amble,you couldn't see for coal dust then.

Not a town but I reckon Dungeness might be the weirdest seaside place in the country

The winner. Anyone who has been there would agree.

Llandudno is nice for a U.K. seaside town.

The tram to the great orme is very pleasant.

I take back my comments then - I must have went on two particularly shocking days
