My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

John O'GroatsNot like I had a huge level of anticipation to go, being that I live about 15 miles away and all.
But upon arrival to the shanty town that is John O'Groats you're greeted by drab hotels, abandoned dirty old shops, a giant car-park and of course put up with the 10 or so American tourists perpetually in the area.
You have to PAY to get your photo taken next to the "Lands End 874 miles" Sign. Theres some kind of cringeworthy gift shop with fucking Loch Ness monsters and postcards. Eurgh
It's not even the most Northern point of mainland Britain FFS!!!
Dunnet head by contrast is largely untouched by tacky commercialism and has stunning views.

At the opposite end...Land's End is similarly disappointing. What? You have to pay to park? Sod that then, I'm off down the Lizard.
There was (maybe still is) a little ramshackle cafe perched up at the top of the cliff, where you can sip tea, have an invigorating bacon sarnie, and watch the waves crash against the wicked rocks a hundred feet below. Marvellous.
