@@se7ensfarm112 Sounds like you had/have some amazing grandparents, mate! My favourite place as a kid was the Dunes pub, at Winthorpe, but it sadly burned down years ago. We're off to Butlins in October 😊 enjoy your holiday!

Ah the memories! I always found it to be such a pleasant place as a child and in my working life too. At weekends we would work special holiday trans to Skegness when I was a Guard at Rotherwood. The old coaching stock with compartments would fill up with old people staying in lodgings as they called them. He would be wearing a white shirt and grey flannels with the waistband round his chest, and either a flat cap or a knotted handkerchief on his bonce. She would be in a frock with a new apron over the top, and would be sporting hair curlers with a headscarf over the top. The whole train would smell of moth balls. During the journey, out would come the sandwiches and flask of tea, and the air would be alive with the sound of clattering plastic teeth., which they produced from a pocket or handbag. We'd later pick up the ones we'd taken the week before and fetch them back to Sheffield. The following week that cycle would repeat. What I liked about it was the three hour turnaround in which we could get free fish and chips from the grateful shop owners and go to play some daft game in an arcade instead of the normal constant slog of freight working. It brought back memories of colleagues who are no longer with us.

I love skegnes i go on holiday every year there

Lovely video. I love to see Skegness and do miss it when I'm not there. I think the reason it keeps getting voted the worst is because the people surveyed tend to be ones who want to go to quiet little places, out of the way, with not many young families. It certainly doesn't deserve to be vpted the worst. There is so much to see and do. And the sandy beach, as you say, is so big. It is never overcrowded, plenty of space. Skegness is perfect for me and my family. We come back every year. And it isn't just the beach and so on either- it's the people. They are always so welcoming and friendly. Thanks for the video❤

Thank you for these enjoyable videos. I like to watch one each afternoon. The seaside was always my favourite and have been too many of those shown. Great memories for me. I most probably won't get to visit again. Looking forwards for more

Very relaxing to watch, especially the waves on the shore with the seagulls at the end. Good to see the gimbal walking trainers making a brief appearance (not white now haha ;) Skegness is under rated, it looks like a lovely place and well looked after too. Thanks for walking us around.

I'm visiting for the first time June 10th till 14th. This video made me feel very excited to go. It honestly looks awesome to me. And from seeing this video I can't understand why people say its the worst seaside town. Like you said yourself it's not at all!! This video surely proves that. I'm sure im going to have a lovely time and I cannot wait!! ❤ Thank you for making this awesome video and enabling me to feel sooo excited to go!! 😊

At Skegness with you again today, this time in town.Lovely quiet walk around.Skegness really does have a beautiful beach.I wonder who does the voting for these places , totally wrong about Skegness being the worst.

Thanks , I love to see & hear the sea! It reminds me that we are an island not a great land mass. Nice to see the sun too. This is my nearest beach as I live inland. Im not a lover - I was brought up on Herne Bay & Margate etc as Im a Southern Softie! It reminds me of Niagara Falls - you can smell it a mile off! Fish, chips & all things fun fair sugary. Only been here twice in real life. 3 times now today!!!

I live up in the North-East have been going to Skegness for over 40 years. We love the place.

I don't know that part of the UK yet, so I can't comment on the votes and all that. It looks like a nice place to take the family and have a good time at the seaside. It's the sea ⛵, beach 🏖️ and pier that I love. Great video Neil 👍.

Skegness, a beautiful little seaside town. I live just up the road Boston 45 minutes drive away and I think Skegness is brilliant. And it’s faring a lot better than some seaside towns and most definitely does not deserve the bad reputation of bad seaside town that it gets on the Internet. There are a lot worse places when it come to seaside town. I’m looking at you Blackpool when you catch Skegness on a day like this when the weather is on your side for half a day a breakaway having a little walk round having a drink can’t go wrong like I said skeg gets a load of bad press but doesn’t deserve it. Places is okay, not brilliant but a lot better than it gets credit for

We always went to Skeggy for our holidays. Easy to get to from Coventry - M69 - M1- A46 - A158 - about 4 hours if you stop for a break. Stopped going about 5 years ago now due to personal circumstances. The beaches there are truly enormous and are sandy - no pebbles! There is always something to do. We used to stay just off the North Beach in a boarding house with our dogs of the moment. On a typical day I'd to take them for their morning walks to the beach and got a paper on the way back. Then off in our car to a car boot with dogs (they went everywhere) just after 10 a.m. - there's one EVERY day in different places. About midday we'd stroll downtown towards the clock tower and perhaps a seat in nearby Tower Park for an hour. On a Sunday they used to have bands playing there - very nice. There was a kiddies play area there as well. Then off for a walk round town to look in the charity shops and markets and call in at an outside cafe for lunch. Afternoons, after shopping for tea, usually a stroll to the beaches. Sometimes a visit north up the Roman Bank to Ingoldmells or Mablethorpe past the many beaches. Sometimes on a Sunday we'd go to Burgh Le Marsh (15 min drive) and have lunch at one of the many pubs - again all dog friendly. There's a pleasure beach, golf course and scores of attractions at night - what more could you want? I've been to a lot of England's holiday spots and, believe me, Skeggy knocks them all for six! You can park just off the prom in the back streets just about anywhere in Skeggy - no yellow lines! Everywhere is very clean and well looked after. Must have gone to Skeggy for at least 15 years consecutive - that's how much we liked it. As I remember it never once rained. Blazing hot sun, cloudless skies, every day (like this Gimbal video). Very hot. Great weather - until we returned to Coventry!

Has a excellent longevity amazing.

Thanks for this one Neil. We visited Skeg (from Melbourne, Australia) late 2022 as my father lives in Boston not far away. We had a great lunch at the trawlers catch, which I notice you recommend. I can understand why there may be some negative comments about Skeg, but as you said there are worse places for sure. Thanks for your channel which we watch and enjoy regularly.

As asomeone who lives in Skegness this is clearly not a tour of the whole town. Only the seafront is shown. Why not take a proper walk around Skegness and see the filth there is. Rubbish everywhere. Run down properties. The drug and alcohol addiction and wait until the height of the season when yet more beggars are on the street. You paint a pretty picture which is far from the truth.
