My second worst ever holiday was my honeymoon in 1975! We'd booked a caravan on Anglesey, Red Wharf Bay, but a month before the wedding my car, a mark 2 Cortina, was nicked. My dad took us down there on the Sunday, but we were limited to close to the site, as public transport was very sketchy. Still, we had other things to keep us amused. ;-))
Then Sunday night I started with the shits! It must have been amusing for other holidaymakers to see the curtains of a newly wedded couple closing on a regular basis, but the reality was that the toilet was fitted in the broom cupboard, and I couldn't shut the door properly as my knees kept pushing it open, so closing the curtains was the only option.
I phoned my dad on Tuesday night to tell him of my plight, and Wednesday asked him to come and pick us up as I was really ill. Thursday saw me at the doctors, where I got some medication to slow it down, and I was fine by weekend. I'd lost half a stone in 4 days! We laughed about it for years, but at the time it was a nightmare.
Fast forward 35 years, to my worst ever holiday. On holiday in the Dordogne, my wife died in my arms.
it doesn't get worse than that.
Fuck sake mate,from pissing myself in reading that,till the last part just knocked me sideways,horrendous that
I lost my girlfriend aged 31 just over 15 years ago

I wouldn’t dream of going to either. Thankfully. In fact I have no need to ever visit all of Africa

Tunisia & Egypt

Done both. Tunisia was a fucking shit hole, people were nice and friendly apart from the folk at the looky looky stores. We checked into our hotel and went to the room, 4 star the brochure said, cockroaches running around and the bed was still unmade from the last occupants- at least they got rid of the dead bodies I suppose. I then had to pay another grand to move to a hotel that wasn’t a fucking crime scene. That was alright as it goes. Had the shits something bad, it was dribbling out of me for about 2 days.
Egypt was ok. Did an all inclusive nile cruise, food was great and beer was drinkable. Valley of the kings, the bogs were so bad I would have rather shat meself. Mithering cunts at the looky looky again mind, like flies around shit they are.

The only break I have been to that I did not like was Barcelona.
3 days of non enjoyment.
I suppose catching some arsehole trying to pickpocket me 10 mins in didn't help.
Agreed, overrated city that. Doubt I'd go back.

We did, thanks. As I've mentioned on other threads, we'd decided on that holiday that we were going to sell up and move to France.That’s awful mate. Glad you had 35 wonderful years together

Girls aplenty, fantastic holiday. Remember the buzz bar with the DJ wearing a tartan cap.

We lived out there for 6 years and my daughters and their mates came over so a trip to Barca was on the cardsThe only break I have been to that I did not like was Barcelona.

" Give me your purses " I said as the morrocans were rife and very sticky fingered and, as fathers know best, all was safe.
Then came the tap on the shoulder. 2 Americans told me I'd just be dipped, I looked around but couldn't see anybody moving or even acting suspicious. Fortunately they'd gone for the wrong pocket and got a snotty tissue, all the purses where in the other pockets....close
Stanwix Park?I will go for 5 days in a caravan in Siloth in Cumbria. Horrendous. Just don’t ever go.
My mam and dad loved it, I refused to go and said I'd prefer to stay at home by myself, I got my wish.
They have gone now, we go there twice a year lolA family holiday in Bridlington in 1963, the place was infested with flies, you couldn't walk along the seafront without them swarming around. The only memorable bit was hearing about the Great Train Robbery on the news!
Cheers palI went late September and it wasn't too busy. I stayed at the far end but if i went back the old town is the better end of of the resort.
You're too not far off being a FOC mate; )

Thats it! Proper shithole. We took my kids and a few of their mates last minute on a 5 day caravan break. Mrs came up for a night and that’s all she lasted. Best bit was me getting her up on stage with something called Freddie the fox and this feature singing “doing the Mexican wave” to her like something out of Hi di hi. imagine Dawn Ward dressed to the nines dancing with a Cumbrian dressed as a fox and you get a good picture of it.
She reminded me that the year before we had been having a meal at hotel denaiellis in Venice!!
