I asked ChatGPT about a tour to Lanzarote

carolyn said:
It’s called Lanzagrotty for a reason Jim. We went again and thought we’d give it another chance. Thought we’d do the cultural stuff. By the end I thought that if I heard the name Cesar Manrique again I’d jump off one of those ugly volcanic rocks. Never again, it’s ghastly.

Of course there are some people who disagree but they’re wrong……

We’ve been twice and loved it both times. Loved the ethos of the island. Would go back again.
 
I do wonder if people are going to the same Lanzarote I go to because I love the place. It has spectacular scenery that varies incredibly across the island. You’ve got to explore the whole island (in a small car is preferable).

I've lived in Costa Teguise for 9 years. We explore plenty in our 4WD car and the dirt bikes.

A pal of mine made a fortune out of it. But not in usual way.
He was selling time share in the 80s doing well and met his wife.
They soon realised what a big con it was.

So they set up a business at airports targeting folk arriving home.
They held up big signs saying "Have you bought a time share on your holiday "

They helped folk escape from the contracts using their inside knowledge.

They made a pretty penny and helped a lot of folk.

Yes, a lot of people did that. Timeshare was the biggest scam of the eighties/nineties.

It is a great island, not sure I would want to live there but a few months at a time would be nice, always found it relaxing or rather there are places you can relax and chill out.

The house prices helped the decision. Sold property in UK. Bought this huge villa with apartment to rent out, and still had half the sales money to live on, at 55.

No brainer

We Love Lanzarote! Go every year late March for SWMBO's birthday. Playa Blanca area in a villa with own private pool essential. SWMBO sunbathes and I catch up on my reading before dining out most evenings in Marina Rubicon or Playa Blanca itself. Always hire a car so that on alternate days we can continue to explore the island. Lovely, warm and quiet before we head home to make the motorhome ready for the next 6 months camping.

You could even visit Chorley, the home of the Chorley cake if you really wanted to. Wouldn’t that be exciting? Although it wouldn’t appear that ChatGPT thinks so.

Right, girl, listen up! I’ve lived me life all quiet-like down in the South, proper sheltered, y’know? So I ain’t got the foggiest what a bleedin’ Chorley cake is! Sounds like summink you’d scoff up North, don’t it? Reckon it’s gotta be sweet, though, or the Northerners wouldn’t bang on about it so much. Now, what’s the deal—fruit in it? Bit of butter? Give us the lowdown, cor blimey!

It just so happens It’s a bit like a bad Eccles cake. You know how an Eccles cake can be quite nice, made with lovely flakey pastry filled with a dried fruit mixture, flattened and topped with some crunchy sugar. A Chorley cake is made with shortcrust pastry, similar filling, flattened but no nice crunchy sugar. A 2nd class citizen really.

The Chorley cake does need butter and cheese to save it really whereas an Eccles cake is a delight on its own.

How many people have I managed to upset this time I wonder Jim?

No it’s not! I prefer Chorley cakes to Eccle cakes. They are not as sweet
No that I am biased but I went to school in Chorley!!!
