#Butlins
Like your Aunt Linda doing karaoke at Butlins after 3 Vodka and Tonics, it's Steven Tyler and Aerosmith.

Can’t help think that somewhere a Butlins is missing five redcoats.

1993 Butlins Skegness, I was a redcoat and used to DJ each night in the main venue. I resisted ending the night with a slow dance, preferring a tune I liked. For many a week it was Cud and You Sexy Thing. If you had said to me then that Cud would be playing Skeg, I would assume you are hammered.

I moved here and discovered there are Golden Gaytimes, the surf life saving uniform is camper than Butlins and men wear stupidly short shorts. It's a gay paradise and yet homosexuality was still illegal until the 90s in some states. 🤷‍♀️

So Robbie Williams reckons Noel Gallagher couldn't write songs after the first 2 Oasis albums. Bit rich from a bloke who'd struggle to write his own name. Just a Butlins Redcoat who got lucky. Should pay the Irish fella for writing Angels too, the tight twat.

British TV had hi-profile drag acts, nobody cared. As you say, astroturfed moral panic. In Ireland ~1980, I recall a drag queen at Mosney/Butlins. Don't remember any of the parents reaching for pitchforks.
As it turns out, it was Jimmy Savile & Rolf Harris, priests & politicians who were the sickos.

Are they STILL trying to push Butlins as any kind of match.

Rare photo of Spike Milligan and Dudley Moore during their Butlins run (1946).

I’m sure I saw Beyoncé at the Minehead Butlins before she had a tune in the hit parade. I think she was doing “I’d Rather Jack” with Jeanette Crankie.

The choice to meet up for activities makes all the difference. Rather than compulsory. Also I do think the castle will be a bit boring for the kids really. Compared with something like centre parcs or butlins. #TheArchers

Especially in November.

Cue the most bigoted campaign imaginable between Labour and reform

Meanwhile Lib Dem’s go to butlins and Zack talks of scrapping disability benefits cuts and free university

It's odd because they want a quintessentially British and also English experience
Id argue those are quite different and there's no mention of Magaluf, drinking cider at Butlins when he's 16, supporting (has to be) Chelsea and hating the poor and the forrins

Things to add to my list of ‘stuff my students haven’t heard of’:

Butlins

Tchaikovsky

And some hadn’t heard of Scientology

(Yes I cover a broad range of things in my lectures…)

Left field but: 'Garlic & Pearls.' 2 women, 1 French, 1 Brit, alternating weeks explaining oddities of their countries. ex: Orangina vs Pimms cups; Club Med vs Butlins. Just long enough to hold your attn for 5 mins, never keeping you up long enough to hear the whole thing - or even half

I just looked up the VIP section in La Sante prison and honestly I have paid to stay in worse places. If you imagine that Sarkozy is moving into a 9m2 1990s Butlins chalet and you are about there. I reckon I could manage a few months, maybe up to a year, in exchange for a large stack of cash.
