Re: Anyone On Here Never been Abroad ?
I have but not for 25 yearsOriginally posted by Rock_Flock_of_Five View PostI believe Sludge hasn't.
I really can't be arsed with travelling abroad these days it's too much faff
I don't do holidays , a 3 day break in West Wales or Devon is fine
Scotland I went a few times but it's a heck of a trek

My passport expired a few years ago. I haven't got any plans to renew it unless there's a good reason.Originally posted by SLUDGE FACTORY View PostI have but not for 25 years

I've done a few European city breaks in the past but I find that there's so much to do in such a short period of time, it's more exhausting than being at home.
I'm not a sun seeker and my idea of hell would be to spend a week in some sun drenched place lying in the sun all day. I got sunburned in Norway.
My dad lives in Scotland so every year or so I go up there with my boy and have a few days travelling around. Otherwise we tend to go to holiday parks or find a cheap Premier Inn in a random city for a few days.

Re: Anyone On Here Never been Abroad ?
Slight left turn here.
Worked in London in the late 80s and we had a kid off a South London estate on work experience with us, I think he was 17 or 18 - YTS thing maybe. After one bank holiday we were all discussing where we'd been and I said that I'd been to Brighton for the day. I asked him if he'd been there and he told me he didn't know where it was. I explained that it was down by the sea, to which he replied that he'd never seen the sea.
The things you take for granted

I did the usual benidorm , majorca , Greek Islands thing but those sort of things don't interest me nowOriginally posted by Eric the Half a Bee View PostMy passport expired a few years ago. I haven't got any plans to renew it unless there's a good reason.

And the faff and arsing about involved to get over there means I just can't be bothered
2 hours and I can be in Tenby , chilling
Fish and Chips by the sea is fine
Even in the summer the weather's never certain but that's the way it is

I can understand why as it's so close and when the sun is up its nice

Re: Anyone On Here Never been Abroad ?
Went to Trecco last summer. Never thought of Porrrrthcawl as a holiday venue when I lived near there for nearly 30 years but it was great. A bit of local knowledge came in handy for places to eat, different places to visit, but my boy loved it there.Originally posted by SLUDGE FACTORY View PostI did the usual benidorm , majorca , Greek Islands thing but those sort of things don't interest me now
