Name an attraction or town close to home that you still haven’t got around to visiting.
It probably depends on your view of close to home. Up here in the East Midlands the town you tend to hear mentioned the minute you move up here is Skegness.
Yes Skegness. It’s 85 miles away on the Lincolnshire coast, apparently the most deprived seaside town in the Uk, and the people of the East Midlands seem to have a a fixation with it, and its populous.
It’s referred to up here as “Skeg Vegas” for some reason compared to the Nevada gambling capital of “Las Vegas”.
The snobbier people will shun it and say it’s where the lowest of the low go to holiday, others look on it as a fun destination to have a little entertainment and maybe celebrate upcoming marriages and the like. But there are people who absolutely love the place and have holidayed there for years….maybe even generations.
I’ve been in the East Midlands now for about 9 years and still haven’t visited. Family members ask me, “ What’s going on? Why are you taking so much time?” Others tell me to not bother as it’s a tip, I’m determined to go just out of curiosity, to make my own mind up, and I’ll probably like it as I’ll probably fit into the middle category I mentioned above.
Wonderful Skeg Vegas as it’s known, so famous it had the well known advert (Pic above) made of it and famously ridiculed over the last 60 years or so.
I’ll let you know if I ever get there.
Have a lovely day.
