I did Benidorm when I was 17. It wasn't my idea, I went with a group of mates from school. I think that even at 17 I was a bit too old for it...
That's just small minded, if I had to go on holiday to Benidorm I would try and get into the spirit of things and enjoy myself. If you want to know what hell is talk to someone whose family have been killed by gunmen in Darfur or some young girl from Moldova who has been trafficked away from her family and friends to work in the sex industry in a foreign country.
thought this would be a light hearted thread when i started reading it. Was going to say watching Eastenders , talk about doom and gloom. Are all Londoners like that?
Don't knock Benidorm! It's cycling heaven! The area just inland must rate as one of the best training areas there is in the world. Four thousand foot climbs, perfect road surfaces and good weather. It's teeming with pro cyclists in the Spring and a budget flight and some accommodation in Benidorm is a really cost effective way of getting the winter / spring miles in. I'm sorry I can't mount such a spirited defence of living with bonj.
Dom, if you read my post before I deleted it - I thought it was Soapbox as well. But your points were valid even though in the wrong place.
