No - Sparty is right. Remember the trashy hotel Lois & Clark stayed at in Superman II?

And the dangerous railings / lack of protection for people falling in

Back off man, I've been to both Niagara Falls and Blackpool so I'm an expert. Anyone who says differently is as clueless as mailman. Well maybe not that clueless.

And I doubt very much that any sort of risk assessment had been carried out on the vibrating water bed. Imagine the terrible scalds that could ensue if one were to sit down on that bed with a hot cup of tea. Disgraceful.

Agree with Spartacus on both points

1. Niagra is an absolute dump
2. It's not possible to be as clueless as postie.

Hmmm... both big gay haunts...

Good question. In the case of SSAFA and RBL, the charities in question have a goodly proportion of their income being spent on the good causes!

The charities commission insist that you specify the amount of money that you use for administration. If it is over a certain amount - 12p in the £ is a figure that springs to mind - they refuse you charitable status.

what's the special occasion? just wondering

Nothin in particular, just that we havn't had a proper holiday for various reasons for about 5 years. Son is off to Prague/Berlin for a week with his school in the spring so we figured it was a good excuse to get away ourselves.

Like at the Grand Canyon?

Are we talking 'scottish' weeks or normal everyday Blackpool ? On second thoughts you may be right, I will back off.
