I always thought Benidorm was in Switzerland and wondered why so many people wanted to go on holiday there.

Benidorm as important as Stonehenge

I once went on an end of university lads holiday to Spain. They were doing a deal to Benidorm, we'd all been to Spain before but never there, so just assumed it would be somewhere between Majorca and the Costa dorrada on a tacky scale, i.e. quite nice to british seaside town tack. How wrong we were, Benidorm makes Blackpool appear classy. Full of bingo winged chavettes with muffin tops hanging over their Kappa tracksuit bottoms/rompersuits. Falby varicose veined grannies and grandads showing far too much flesh. Big fat near death pasty (apart from the burnt bits) dole'ites' from Scunthorpe or Romford or the like. Tricky Vicky (sick), underaged drinking, binking, puking. Apart from that it's nice. The worst place I have visited outside the UK.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

And I agree with you on the front!!
But, I've been to Benidorm too, hen party! And we had a great time. There were 22 of us - all age ranges but we all had a good time I guess you lot will give me a pasting for that! The old town is quiet, the other beach not the Levante one is less chav-tastic and all in all it's not that bad.Bazza gets caught

Seeing as how we were all 18/17 and interested only in birds and booze Benidorm was the perfect place
Went and saw Sticky Vicky and was amazed at the number of familys there... families as in parents + young children. Children young enough to occasionally be collared by their parents for running around (see chavs can exercise parental control)Coffee's for closersComment
