What's the most impressive/your favourite tourist attraction you've ever seen in the UK?
Alt: What is the shittest? I've never been, but Madame Tussauds looks epically shit and costs a fucking fortune.

I think the British Museum is hard to beat.
(, Fri 27 Jan 2012, 15:48, 9 replies, latest was 14 years ago)
Madame Tussauds is shit, as is the London Eye
I like Alton Towers, science museum, the tate modern and that place with all the war planes and shit.

Warick Castle was good when I last went.

It's a top-notch castle but the way it's run seems a little cheesy.

(, Fri 27 Jan 2012, 15:51, Reply)
It's been years, just remember that I enjoyed it.
Another worst: The Whisky experience near Edinburgh castle. So shit I spent about half the time nearly crying with laughter at how shit it was, which made it worth the money.

Has it got to be the UK?
I went to the shittest wax museum ever in Barcelona, but I would advise everybody to visit it. I almost died laughing. Bill Clinton was exactly Jimmy Durante, for example. And the Fairytale section was a fucking terrifying experience.

It has, yes.
I don't give a fuck about sunrises over the Taj Ma-fucking-hal or what have you.

Alright, Lake fucking Vyrnwy
My dad took us there. The Dambusters was filmed there and it's where Liverpool gets its water supply.
(, Fri 27 Jan 2012, 15:57, Reply)
So everyone should go there and piss in it?
When you finally move up to scotchland, you should go on a day out to The Whisky experience, it's honestly the shittest thing you've ever seen.

Shell Grotto

I've not been back to Stonhenge since you can walk amongst the stones again.
Am v keen to do that asap. Last time I went was in the 80s, to see how close we could get on Midsummer's eve, without getting turned back by the police. It was a like an annual sporting event in the grubby cunt community.

Really?

Yep. That's the only reason I'm running 26.2 miles, so I get free entry.
I don't know if it would be easier to just pay the entry fee, since it costs £25 to register for the marathon. But I reckon I'll drink that much lucozade so I'll break even.

Have you considered a career in stand up?
Monty will be impressed with your act, he can't stand up without his helper these days due to him being such a senile old bellend.

He's so senile, every time he orders his food at Needoo
he thinks it's all for him. And the waiters have to help spoon it into his mouth because he can't use cutlery anymore.

Alt: A number of years ago, the ex and I went to a teddy bear museum.
She was into the Steiff ones at the time. Anyway, the museum turned out to be a creepy old woman's front room, stuffed to the fucking gills with ratty old bears and the tour consisted of her telling us how Clive, the dark brown moth-eaten old cunt at the back, had been put there because he'd got into the biscuit tin again.

Completely barking fucking mad, she was.

And so was the owner of the museum LOL

at Gnome World on the A303.

It's not as exciting as it sounds, just hundreds of gnomes in a caravan site.
