I suppose you'll be having a go at the Sun's 'holidays for a tenner' offers next   I can't deny I'm in the wrong on this... but I just can't imagine why people would want to spend their limited holiday time in holiday camps... but hey, you know I can be very strident sometimes  I've actually done one of the 'holiday for a tenner' things with my dad before, when I was younger - it was a lot better than I expected. You get a beachside caravan, and have an on-site pub, restuarant and amusement area, with performers in the evening (and they were decent ones; genuinely funny comedians, magicians, hypnotists etc). You can go out into the nearby town, or stay on-site. No different to staying in a hotel, only it's less luxurious and about a fifteenth of the price! |

Well don't listen to me, I'm gonna be shafted when the fuel-tax levy on air travel arrives!  ;D |

Jules is more of a labour camps sorta guy.  Nah I go all middle class where holidays are concerned... well fuck it, that's what I am after all! you then return home feeling bad for having a good time, and spending money others don't have. To relieve your guilt you join the labour party ;D |

I don't have extravagant holidays though, you don't have to spend a lot of money to find somewhere better than a UK holiday camp! Hey, least I have a conscience! |

Bury St Edmunds - great market town, the Abbey Gardens and cathedral are awesome. (And for Chopper - Greene King brewery) Aldeburgh - love going there to fly the kite to celebrate the end of summer. And I can't remember anything else, but there's a Suffolk perspective for you. |
