Isn't Buckie exported up to us from down Devon way ? Would we get the duty money ? Lol

No, I meant in that it would be too expensive for the Scots to drink. We might not get the money but might save a few visits to A & E of a weekend...

Got you now, thought it was Turkey for some reason:rotfl::rotfl:

taxi73

it's one of those places you either love or hate ..we hated it

elantan

Turkey is August skinty... Taxi you are totally right, some people ( in laws included... We are here with them) LOVE it, they love everything about it... We were first here for our honey moon, and I hated it then... Had to be begged to come here again ... And it ain't changed ... I still hate it, it does what it says on the tin and I that is what you want then perfect you couldn't ask for better to be fair,

But If it's not for you then nothing is gonna make it work for you ( IMHO anyway)

Ach well 3 nights left

elantan

Another one who thought you were in Turkey. Ah, right, that explains a lot. Never been there. Fly over it to go to nearby airport. That's enough for me :eek:.

Nothing wrong with package holidays per se. It's where they go that's the problem :rotfl:.

well we are home thankfully, the holiday got worse, we didnt get any sleep at all for most of it due to the noise, we did think about trying to move to another place but the whole place was just dodgy.

one nights entertainment had me swearing like a trooper, there was a man wearing nothing but a penis shaped jock strap, he ran about the club with kids chasing him, yes you read right, this was deemed acceptable behaviour by the majority of people, the adults in the club were laughing and encouraging the kids .... !!!!!! is this world coming to? i had to walk away as i was disgusted and shocked by the behaviour, ( i only saw this part of the show ..lasted a whole 30 seconds which was enough... i was reliably informed that what i saw was nothing compared to the rest of the show)

we then went to another club where there was a guy doing a ventriloquist show, now i love ventriloquism Nina Conti is hilarious imho ... but this guy ... sheesh... he even recognised that there were kids in the club, he spoke to the kids, told them a few jokes that they can then pass on to their teacher .... then proceeded with a very adult show, now in a way i can see why ... this was after 12 midnight and those kids should've been in bed, the parents should not have had kids there at an adult show, but as a preformer you have to ask yourself should you be performing like that in front of young kids, just because their parents obviously didn't have a working brain cell between them doesn't meant that the kids should be subjected to that. but then he has to perform and earn his money or he wont be asked back, so maybe the place should tell the parents to remove their kids ?

we went to watch a tribute ac/dc band, there was a young family there, obviously the parents like ac/dc, anyway after the first two songs a staff member came up and asked them to leave as the show was going to be turning into an adult only show shortly, those parents took their kid and left ( thankfully ... as the show got disgusting )

anyway ... now we are dreading going to Turkey, we are panicking incase it is as bad as Benidorm, Turkey has cost us a fortune and the thought of spending that amount of money on something similar to Benidorm makes me want to cry

we seriously need to look at our holiday requirements, i cant carry on going to places like Benidorm, that was hell on earth

elantan

we didn't get any internet connection after the last post i made ... kept trying but kept getting booted off

i think we spent approx £500 on our holiday, will know for deff once the visa card is settled ... £500 on a crap time ... what else could we have spent that money on
