We did Paignton, cracking holiday, Hastings, crap would be an understatement (site had too few facilities for too many people) and then three years at Great Yarmouth.

Everywhere's the promised land when you come from Coventry. Must feel the same with your home town?

Not at all. Fareham is the land of the great Ray Stafford... Careful Leo that free boiler is so close you can almost smell it!
