Butlins in Skeggy. 1958. Went with a mate from work. For two 18 year olds, paradise. Lots of talent there, and I don't mean on the stage.

Butlins Filey 1967 summer of love. What a week (age 17). Still remnants of Hi Di Hi, Redcoats, French Bar. Tropical Bar. woken in the morning to "Bingo I,m in love. Lots of hippies, Knock on wood on the Juke box. Oh memories. Sang "When I,m 64" in the talent contest. Backing band didnt have a clue. Didnt win.

Remember Beacholme very well. We used to stay further up the road at Carrington Camp. Outside toilets. No running water.we had to go outside to a tap to fetch it. Oh happy days. Loved it.
