Skeggy is a Dive.

Let's face it most UK resorts are dives.

I grew up in Weymouth and it's a right pigsty full of angry people who hate tourists.

Parents taking children gambling at a very young and impressionable age.

Nice.

We wonder why society is falling apart and children run neighbourhoods.

Like getting their gambling addiction cured.

What absolutely ridiculous statements:rotfl:

When I was a child and on holiday with my parents I can still remember the excitement at being given a shilling in 2d pieces (12 old pence and equal to 5p today for those of you too young to remember pre-decimilisation) and spending it on the penny-pusher machines and the horse-racing game (my favourite!). I can honestly say in my adult life I've never had the slightest inclination to become a gambler (I don't even do the lottery) and have never even stepped foot inside a bookies.

Admittedly todays amusement arcades are a lot more sophisticated and expensive (although that is all relative), but to infer that by letting little children partake in this harmless bit of fun is likely to turn them into a compulsive gambler is a joke.

Lighten up !:rolleyes:

Sorry labman, I must be older than I think. :rotfl: I meant the 1d. It looks like a 2p coin (that's my excuse anyway!).

Sorry i would have posted earlier but my 4 year old has been busy on www.888.com for the last 5 hours, shes now gone out to rob a granny to pay for the money she has lost :rolleyes:

Surely she doesnt have to rob a granny - wouldnt the profits from her drugs empire pay for it ???

Rumour has it though that those funds are being held in trust in a bank account in Grand Cayman for when she reaches 18
