    For one minute I thought you meant Derby was a place to visit :eek: Derby always looks at it's best from a window of an Intercity 125 when it flys through the station without stopping :D

    Derby is a great place to visit: Lovely historic buildings and quirky individual shops/restaurants around the Cathedral Quarter, loads of great Art Deco architecture, the Peak District right on the doorstep....OK the town planners may have made a bit of a hash of the Westfield Centre and Riverlights project (still nowhere near completion:hence no bus station, plus ongoing traffic chaos) but it's a great destination for a mini break.:D
  • Best: Maldives, Sri Lanka, Thailand

    Worst: Florida, Vienna, Chicago (relatively speaking - I have not been anywhere on hoilday I really disliked)

    I think I would go back to anywhere that scored over 40 and would recommend anywhere with 50+ points.

    Best: Las Vegas

    Worst: Larnaca Cyprus, what a pit!
    The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.
  • Best-Nile Cruise, but an adult only holiday and not suitable for youngsters. Make sure you have all the trips included in the price

    Worst-Bulgaria about 6 years ago. We booked a hotel allocated on arrival for 2 adults and 3 youngsters. Got into an ex-Communist concrete complex which was awful on the Black Sea. We were all ill and the rooms were horrible!!!
  • best- cyprus and oslo
    worst- magaluf by a mile, only place i have been on hol where i wanted to come home

    worst airport award has to go to zante! loved zanted itself but the airport is awful

    Best- Clearwater beach, FL (first and last time I have felt truly free and without any worries- but the delicious stone crabs helped too)


    Worst- Not been anywhere really bad but I suppose Lands End. Rained and there wasn't much to do.
