You know I'm sure children would divorce their parents these days if they went on holiday to Whitley bay! I hope it hasn't caused you any long term damage.

We lived in Swindon for our sins and that was the best bit - all the great places around it!! I find Geelong strangely similar.........

Oh we were too posh for South Shields!

We did go abroad one year. Well, Scotland.
