I remember years ago, June was heavy with child and so we decided to be safe and stay in the uk. Specifically Butlins Minehead.

We were located next to the helicopter pad, the one that they used for tourist trips. (I use the word tourists very, very loosley)

I could go on but were already scarred for life, Is there such a condition as Butlins Trauma

I remember taking the kids ther when they were young in the 80s. We all loved it. In the hi-de-hi chalets. It was great then. The nicest Butlins site in our view. The prom and Minehead town were a delight. Probably changed for the worst now.
