Holiday destinations to avoid

Its funny but whenever this subject crops up, people always seem to mention the same two places.
Any ideas

Mogadishu and West Beirut?

North Korea and Guam.

Guam looks great - not so sure about the other place. I wonder if they'll start doing more repeats of Mash.

My tip is stay at home, I never get tired of watching films about airport delays,flight cancellations,rowdy kids on planes,queues for the toilet,poor sanitary,over booked hotels,taxi's over charging,food poisoning,mosquito bites, poor service,nightmares in the foreign A+E,Germans putting towels on sunbeds,lifts not working and noise going on all night,
and when they get back and you ask, " did you enjoy it" the answer is always, " yes we had a marvelous time " Well you can keep it,

Amen to that

Tom, Go on a Cruise, none of the trouble you mention,

Tomplum,
I have very rarely if ever encountered the problems you mention. However I do remember travelling up the M6 on a Saturday afternoon and taking over an hour to get from Thelwall to Abram. I also remember leaving Worthing to travel home and watching Concord fly over when I was on the M?? and I knew it would be in New York before I got to Wigan. Four hours to get from Carlisle. Do you get what I am saying???

That Concorde was 'noisy' I saw it flying twice, each time over Wigan on Grand National day, it were flying over to Aintree to give the crowds there a thrill and when I heard those four Olympus Engines growling overhead I thought it was a Jumbo 747 flying really low, but when I looked up the Concorde look tiny, but those engines were making a right din and they were only ticking over ...

Boeing got it banned from NY on grounds of it being noisy.

Since in fact it was LESS noisy than the Boeing planes using JFK, the ban got overturned fairly easily.

But the damage had been done: all export orders were lost. Customers exercised their cancel options!

We can look forward to more episodes like this, should we have a trade deal with US.

Was an EXPENSIVE way to cross the pond though, whurnit!

Tom's post minded me of a sketch (can'r recall ifn it whur Mike Harding, or Billy Connolly) about Brits going on holiday. Described them sunbathing as like big chips, and all thee experience that was inferior to that had by the stay at home folk.

Sonny's pain.

Thanks, so it whur MH.

Marathon: now there's a place. I got so bored that I ran all the way to Athens!

I can't believe it. No one's been close yet. And everybody reckon they've been there.

Rhyl and Southend, Scouseland and Eastenders by the sea respectively!

Closer
