Ahhh, Skeggy. had many a holiday at Butlins Skegness as kids. We always had a great time but the food was diabolical. Every meal time brought tears for us 3 little uns who couldn't stand the food. My dad used to shout at us to eat the food and there would be tantrums in return. Loved the little fairground and we used to go into the bar/cabaret area at night for glamorous granny comps, knobbly knees comps and various shows that the Red Coats used to put on. The outdoor swimming pool was always freezing and there was a roller skating rink. We loved going to Butlins as kids.
