View Full Version : Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

I'm at the seaside again.

I'm at Withernsea. I used to come here lots as a kid. There's not much here these days.

The machines are right robbing bastards. There's a dog teddy I want to win on the claw grab machine before I go (I want it for my mam's dog to play wirh) I've had it close a few times and it's robbed me.

I'm having a few pints now to build an appetite for my fish and chips. But I'm getting the bus home at quarter to five. There's not much here.

I'm going to Scarborough on Bank Holiday Monday at the end of this month. Scarborough is a much upgrade of a seaside town. Best in the North. Better than Blackpool.

Nessa is the seaside Queen of the South but I am the seaside King of the North.

I love the coast, I'm going to move either to the West Country or somewhere in "Great Yarmouthshire" one day.

Nice. I'm going tomorrow and I'll be staying the night.
I want to wake up early and go to the beach.
I've only been to Blackpool, don't know any other places in north of England.
But one day I would love to visit there as well.
Hope the weather is good, Alf. Have a great time!

Love fresh fish. I'll be trying those restaurants at Westcliff tomorrow for dinner.

Gav fillets them really well so there's very little bones when we cook them, they're delicious. We caught pollock and some other spikey kind of fish but we threw all those back

I know, but Ness has already been to Blackpool, so I thought Southport might appeal. X
