  1.  @basylpeterjones  In summer for day trips and maybe a stag/hen weekend but the era when factory workers and their families would stay in a b & b for a week are long gone. As the guy in the video says cheap air travel started the beginning of the end of families having holidays in Britain.

  11. That's part of the problem though as all the focus is on the prom. Whereas places like Brighton have more to offer .
