Travelogues Needed
Richard
contact us at i...@england.co.uk and give us about 8+ paragraphs about your
holiday - a travelogue. We are creating a Personal Travelogues page on the A
Guide To Wight web site - www.iow.england.co.uk and we need as many
travelogues as possible to make up our new page.
If you don't know what a travelogue is, please visit
http://www.brazil.com/html/travel/default.shtml for the personal travelogues
of the official Brazil web site. This should give you an idea of what we
need.

Anyone who complies with the above is likely to want to remain
anonymous for obvious reasons. I, for one, would never admit to such
a holiday in public.

Ha! So, name me a holiday destination in the UK which gets over 2,580,000
(last years statistic) holiday makers a year.

At a guess, Wales, Scotland or Cleethorpes on Easter Monday.
Better add a smiley I s'pose :)

Cleethorpes is NOT a holiday resort
it's a fiendish experiment in which hundreds of thousands of people
have been subjected to high winds, obscene smells and total boredom
in an attempt to see exactly how much crap the British people will
put up with before they complain

Eight paragraphs about the Isle of Wight? You don't want a travelogue - you
want a fairy story.

all I can say is that the Isle of Wight is, IMO, a damn fine place
in which to get wrecked and fall over a lot

Been to Skegness? Beats Cleethorpes into a cocked hat.
That was a special torture they had for us at school; the yearly "Trip to
Skeggy" [shudder]. More fun was had chucking yoghurts our mums had put in
our packed lunches out of the bus windows on the A46 than at the
destination, especially given that one of our teachers (who was convicted
for paedophilia a couple of years ago) insisted that we all had to swim in
the faeces-infested swamp laughing known as "the sea"...

Embarrassing? It would be tantamount to social suicide. The relevant
authorities would have to be contacted and social services would
probably be called in to deal with the situation.

I glanced at this thread title in here earlier today and didnt take any
notice of it (sorry!). Then I was browsing in the isle of wight newsgroup
this evening and came across a thread entitled "cheeky git". Natural
curiosity made me open it.... Lo and behold it said that "somebody in
another newsgroup" had said they would only write something if they could be
anonymous because they would never admit to visiting the IOW.
Now of all the newsgroups it was cross posted to how did I know that the
cheeky git in question was going to be you, Martin?
Female intuition?!!!!

did you report it to the police?...it would have been a good bet for
front page of the local paper

Depends, could have been a busy news day, you know the sort of thing: "old
lady in change confusion at post office", "man caught farting in pub",
etc...

Errr...Tanya?!
Just *how* bored does one need to be to browse in the Isle of Wight
group?!
;-)
Glad you did though! Thanks for pointing it out. :-)
I was only joking, and have never been to the Isle of Wight...do you
think I should tell them? They took me seriously...poor folk...such a
tiny place too...it's a wonder they all fit on it...pitiful.
Perhaps a spoof is in order...
