Casual Orpington 30 Jul 22 8.32pm
Originally posted by monkey Hythe on the Kent Coast, nice oldie worldie high street, lovely stretch of unpoilt un-kiss me quick sea front, simply a nice place to be We went there last year, someone we know has a holiday home. Honestly the most boring place I’d ever been to. The big hotel on the front, next to the nice fish restaurant, had security outside at 7am, was full of asylum seekers. Went out for a drink and food with the kids on Sunday at 6ish and ALL the pubs were shut, couldn’t believe it. The 2nd day my kids were asking if we could go to the caravan, we’ve got one in whitstable (now that’s a place, full of restaurants and pubs, buzzing in the summer) . Good mate of mine from orpington/bromley moved to new Romney (just up the Rd from hythe) a couple of years ago, because it was cheaper. I rang him and said ‘move back mate, I’ll cover the difference in rent, you can’t fit in down here’ Shocking place.

There's a place in SE25 known as Selhurst Park that's highly under-rated. Although there are some folk who go there to play and watch football who think the world of it. Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I make you right about the town itself, it’s not really a big holiday destination, but each to their own I suppose, when I go away I don’t spend my time sitting in pubs and I’m of an age where I haven’t got kids to amuse, I certainly don’t want to go somewhere that’s full of them, as a famous comedian once said, kids are like farts, you love your own, but hate other peoples. There’s plenty to do and see in that part of Kent away from Hythe though. Dymchurch is better for families, it’s got a lovely beach. We like that whole stretch of coast from Hythe, New Romney, Dymchurch, Littlestone through to Greatstone because it’s easy for us to get too for a short break and it’s a nice area. As for Asylum seekers, welcome to Kent!!

I did say some folk Palazio, not the geezers in the away end. Anyway, I'm pleased the bloke from Brighton didn't enjoy his visit.

Harrogate. (If you can ignore all the smug 'God's own County' bollix.) Outstanding - The Turkish Baths, a must go to. Over rated - Betty's Tearooms. Why queue for ages for a bang average and overpriced copy of a mid-20th century 'Tearoom', there are better elsewhere in the town. Don't bother trying to find the Yorkshire Tea plantations, they don't exist (not in Yorkshire anyway). Would recommend the old pub which still has gas lighting, if I could remember it's name.
