Gfs front door will not lock and the cat ****ed off just as I was about

Rule C17: never, ever let the cat see you pack - it triggers the
perversity response.

Couldn't you have left it there as that seems to be how many people
get infected with cats in the first place (and cheaper than a
cattery)? ;-)

Anywhere particular on the East coast N. Yorks.
Brid is nice, but there are other places, depends on what you want of

As a dog owner you don't generally have to worry about such things as
the dog will be in the car as soon as they get wind that you might be
going out in it! ;-)

Nah. We just have a cat flap so they can come and go as they please
while we are away and we get my parents to come round to feed them and
give them a bit of a fuss each day. The only checks are that that they
haven't got into a room that will be left closed or locked and haven't
decided the investigate in the car while it is open for packing! So more
a case of "Where aren't the f*cking cats?"

According to Viz magazine (which I personally don't read of course)
Whitley Bay is full of old slappers out for a shag at this time of year,
so a good destination for the sex-tourist with an adequate supply of
condoms (and bleach & a wire brush in case they fail.)

No. It is not full of old slappers, I've been there and it is quite nice.
However:
The fish and chips was not too wonderful and the little figures of the bloke

I recall going to Brighton via the A23 back in the late 60s. There are
two large pillars on each side of the road (I think they're still there)
where the boundary is. Some wag had taken a red spray paint can and
scrawled in big letters, "Welcome to Dog****-by-Sea" on the right hand
pillar. Even from 50 years ago I remember how apposite that was. And it's
only got worse since.

Morecambe has got to be the real pits - worse than Blackpool. Out of season,
it becomes dead (most shops closed) along the seafront, and a mecca for
teenagers and stag/hen parties a couple of streets inland.

Scarborough and Whitby, which we know well in all seasons, still retain some
life (even if it's slightly tacky around the amusement arcades) out of
tourist season.
