What joy it was. I went there as a child & fell out of the top bunk and ended up with a black eye.

Though I did come second in the "Mr Tarzan" which was nice.

And I'm sure I can see my self in the John Hinde/Martin Parr book, roller-skating away, dreaming of baked beans and lumpy mash in a hall filled with strangers.

Really, it was fab.

Not been to Butlins, but I think the beach at Skegness is quite nice. The town itself - not so much.

Every holiday until i was 14 was spent in a caravan in Skeg. The visit to butlins was a highlight. That though is not saying much.

Is the Linga Longa chippy still there I wonder.

The only experience I have of Skeggy Butlins was wandering around in the middle of the night on Acid when everything was closed (we weren't residents, and if memory serves we'd jumped a fence).
