    Everything in life is relative. You ever been to Little Chef?

      Try the Triangle Cafe in Hitchin. An omelette costs £7!! That's a normal cheese omelette, nothing special, just an omelette.

            p.s. is that libellous? is it possible to libel a whole burgeoning underclass?

              That's only at Whinfell and Sherwood. You don't get that at Longleat. Also, stay in the VIP accomodation instead of the 'cheap' chalets...even less likely to be sat next to undesirables due to the price uplift.

                You've been to them all, then? That shows great resolve, or something.

                  I think the term ‘chav’ is somewhat overused these days, if you're not holidaying in 'Bora Bora' you must be going to some god-awful chav hell hole.

                  I think the peak season price will keep out most of the undesirables and yes we are staying in an 'executive' apartment.
                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    Touchy GJ! I wasn't implying that anyone on here was a chav (I've been to CP once before myself and I own no tracksuits or burberry), merely that CP has a high concentration of them.
