Not the same thing obviously, but I fancy a boat on the broads at some point , kids can have a drive I can fish, pub lunches , don't think it'll be this year but maybe the following year. I wouldn't do a cruise personally , stuck on a ship full of tourists , nah. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never fancied being corralled and processed and having a guide with a flag guiding me round like a sheep. I'm not interested in overeating or drinking for that matter so the all inclusive is of no interest to me. The Mrs says we should give one a try. I would only be willing to spend 2 and a half grandish for the pair of us for a week around Europe. Anybody recommend them? Which ones in particular?

It's the same every time I've ever gone abroad since being a kid...you get the fat greedy gluttonous all exclusive cnuts,eating and drinking all day,propping up the bar, being a nuisance....so every f***ing normal person,payed the same, has a limited choice...one of the reasons I'm not to bothered to go abroad these days,bought a motorhome, plenty of places interesting enough in the UK...

Beach holidays? Wtf are they about? Burning your body to a crisp with nothing to do except stare around you at other idiots. Nightmare for me. But for others it's heaven. Most people say "I've been to Mexico or Greece" etc as though they've seen and done it. When all they've done is sit in a deckchair on a beach. They may as well go to Blackpool. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
