Off Topic Scarbados

North Bay is a good chippy

 

They were charging £290 a night this weekend. We really struggled to find any accommodation (and booked a few weeks ago). I had seen the critical stories in HDM, so wasn't going anywhere near. Had to settle for a grubby guest house, which had the audacity to only offers a minimum of two night stays.

 

Thanks for the recommendations chaps, I'll look these up for tonight. Chosen pub grub last night (it was local and we didn't have a lot of time before and after the gig) was a Weatherspoons. By jove, I impress myself with my ability to spoil a lady!

 

Sounds like you had a good time last night and by the time you get to eat you'll be...

 

Check if seaside Danny wild is on tonight askew! We all need a bit of cheese

 

Ironically, they were playing in Scarborough last night too apparently. We were watching a gig by an up and coming Scottish band called Walt Disco. They were OK, but suprised how early the gig was.

 

It has just occurred to me with you out the way who’s going to go to the bar for Dennis?

 

Don’t panic
It’s covered

 

Haven’t been out in Scarborough for years, used to live there though, hit most pubs & restaurants over the years.
Chippy for me is Leeds Fisheries down Newborough, as you head down to the beach.
Eastern Paradise used to be a great curry house, the last time I went.
George Michael’s down York Place, if it’s still there, one of the best Greek restaurants I’ve been to.
Kam Sang for Chinese, used to be good.
As for the Grand Hotel, it’s a ****ing embarrassment. My Mother in law came over from America, we were looking for somewhere to stay, made the mistake of staying there.
I think we paid £100 for 2 rooms, it was 3 years ago, so can’t be accurate. That was too much, should be shut down & done up properly, it won’t though. It has a Butlins feel to it, entertainment wise, the staff were good. But don’t ever think about staying there, EVER!

 

You coulda let me know a bit sooner
I’ve been worried sick

 

To be quite frank I’m absolutely appalled that I had to get half way down the second page before this legend got a mention.

Even then Chazz couldn’t be arsed to call him his proper name or even spell it correctly.

It’s ‘Seaside’ Danny Wilde, if you don’t mind?

Superstar.

Sings like Elvis.

In the Nelson bar.

You’d be foolish not to…….

 

The Sex Pistols played The Penthouse in 1976 & 1977.

 

‘Seaside’ Danny Wilde was the supporting act.

Even fewer people know that.

FACT.

 

My local paper was championing Scarborough this weekend, recommended the Esplanade Hotel. The Grand didn't get a mention...

 

Crown Spa probs the best hotel on the esplanade

 

Is the guest house lit up in blue or pink lights?

 

Clarks in Queens Street is excellent if you can get a reservation

 

Great video just come on YouTube by North Yorkshire Wanderer about The Grand.


Well worth a watch, as are his other videos.
