    Margate is horrid since they closed bembom brothers (as it used to be known) :D Was £8 for return and entry to the park in my day



    Goodness Sax you must be older than me! £8??? ;)


    I remember Bembom Bros too! The last time I visited Margate was a few years back and it seemed very run down/unloved. Which is a shame as the beaches are not so bad and it used to be a fun place.

    Well the clouds and meatballs came :) Still mild though and glad we got on the because this morning whilst it was still dry and bright! :)

    Dreaming_of_Kubera, I too am glad to see the back of Valentine's comps (yes, I'm a singleton!) Though I am quite chuffed with all choccies, sweeties and underwear I bought in the sales for half price or less during the weekend!

    I have never been to Margate beach! When I was little we often went down to Cornwall and I have been to Scarborough and Whitby a few times. We have some lovely beaches in the UK - just a shame we don't get much of a chance to visit them due to the poor weather and I can imagine Cornwall's coastline will have been demolished with all the bad weather down there! :(

    Afternoon all :hello:


    Dry and no wind here at the mo, could even start believing that Spring is on the way!


    Uber jealous of strolls along the beach! Suppose I could get a £14 return and go and visit Margate but it's not really working for me at the mo :rotfl:


    Also glad the Valentine comps are over...threw me into a right brown study...which is really not like me. Jnr (not so Jnr) suggested that I do a personal ad. But really!!! What would I put??? .....


    Grumpy Baby-Boomer, haemorrhoids one end, cold sores the other and 4 hourly hot flushes. Into comping, really not into domesticity. NSOH. Try your luck? :rotfl:


    Oh goodness roll on SUMMER!!!!!

    :rotfl::rotfl: love the p.ad dreaming :D:rotfl:
