Reply to: Favourite seaside town?

[BA to the Stars]

North Yorkshire coast, just down from Scarborough, proper seaside place, fishing boats, lovely beach, a few amusements but not much, real pubs, nice fish and chips, largely untouched by the 21st century!

Filey has yet to reach the 20th century! Nice and quiet

The Yorkshire resorts, Scarborough, Whitby & Bridlington are all good.

Avoid Withernsea (you hear banjo's playing as you enter) and nothing there.

In the South, Southsea is my choice and Deal in Kent is nice, I imagine it being how Warmington On Sea from Dads Army was like (& probably hasn't changed much).

Nice beach and surrounding countryside (but the town is full of football shirt wearing, shaven headed, neanderthals hand-in-hand with their size 24 missus, all hoop earrings, stained tracksuit bottoms and push-chairs. Urgghhh! )

That's where the raw sewage outlet is you know.

When you say "the" do you mean...for the whole of Yorkshire?

Nah, just Scarborough......



I think it's a bit of a urban mythery about it actually. When we were growing up there always used to be a dirty great pipe coming out of the sand and into the sea that we used to play on. We were told at the time it was a raw sewage outlet but I never saw anything official about it.......

I guess Margate is good if you go to Ramsgate first

Margate makes Blackpool seem good

I'll go to Blackpool next summer then!

I've only been to Margate. The tattoo shop was quite busy.

It is an information gathering post, not a poll on popularity of a discrete and finite set of data items.

HTH

Ah - should have considered that option.

Where's the thread (with poll) for "What's the best seaside town?" then?
