Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

McGoohan ref your earlier comment that 'Lofty from It Ain't Half Hot Mum was singing in Woolworth's one of the days.'

I do remember that he and Windsor Davis opened the Woolworths in my town in about 1981 - oh! the glamour of celebrity!

I went to Skegness for the first time a couple of years ago, as part of my ongoing retirement tour of the UK. I thought it was quite nice in a seaside sort of way - sand dunes, donkey rides etc - but it was uncomfortably windy on the beach. I was just a bit disappointed that I could not find any "jolly sailor" souvenirs to buy!

We went to Skeg for a week last summer. The kids (10 and 5) loved it. All they need is a beach, the sea, ice cream and fish and chips!

I worked as a burger basher at Butlins one summer while a student. That was... an experience.

We took a Czech exchange student there a few years ago. In February. I don’t think he was impressed.

I was going to regale you of the one and only time I went to Skeggy, only to find that it was, in fact, Margate. Out of season. On a Tuesday.
