J9withdogs Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Weston-super-Mare must be near the top of the league of bad coastal resorts. Tired town and mud-flats as far as the eye can see for most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showing your Guardian reading credentials? I loved that cartoon series. BBC film 1991 'Easter in Tresoddit'. I have NEVER bought a copy of the Guardian, our English teacher was an avid fan and that was enough for me :-) But How an Exposé of the Chattering classes ever ended up in their daily Bible.....................

Archiesgrandad Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Surely, the worst coastal resort in the UK is Birmingham. It is so far to the beach. AGD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Collings Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Last autumn we were in Ilfacombe when Damien Hursts pregnant lady was erected (nice turn of phrase that) . I suggested he be nominated for a knighthood (no not that sort ) for services to contraception. It must have put a lot of woman off sex for life.

Brock Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Southport is further from the sea than Birmingham! The pleasure park closed down and the Lord Street shopping was wasting away when I was there a couple of years ago. Blackpool has always been tacky and now few go there for a holiday. However, for the day, the fun fair is good and so is watching the evening mating dance of males around scantily dressed females. It's almost a cultural experience! Spend a bit of time betting on who will fall over drunk next and then on who will manage to stand up again. I like Blackpool because it is honest; it knows it is tacky - it has trams as well! Morecambe is another resort that is OK for a day trip - particularly the north end of town which has good views over to the Lake District and a nice prom for a walk. New Brighton is making a comeback and has been packed with day trippers this summer. Rhyl became a holiday resort because it was an exotic location for Scousers and Mancunians from the factories in the old days. It never had much to offer and gets worse every year. It is truly dreadful. I doubt in can be classed as a resort because nobody goes there willingly so it should be excluded. If a resort is a popular destination for holidays or recreation, then despite my fondness for Blackpool, it probably wins my vote because people still go there.
