Bored with that now.
I'm going away this weekend, so I've been looking for a nice pub and a record shop to visit while I'm there.
As my parents did with me, I shall drag my kids round something historic as well.
What do you look for when you visit a new place?

Alt: Anyone fancy a pint? Only I'm gasping...

Honestly Nakers, it's like you never pay attention to a word I say.

Fish and chips

Yeah I remeber people banging on about that
tbh though you can get decent fish and chips anywhere, you don't have to travel to the North

Whitby has a good abbey thing overlooking the bay
Although most of the graveyard has now fallen off

The abbey is nice
And there's loads of goths to look/laugh/perv at

If you want a nice day looking at abbeys
there's also Rievaulx Abbey about twenty minutes drive away.

How do you think I am going to get to this Godforsaken northern land?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:22, Reply)

Ox and cart?

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:25, Reply)

Or Northern Rail, as it is also known

If I remember correctly from going there as a child, they make jewellery out of jet and there is some kind of glass-blowing place or some shit*.
Part of the novel Dracula is set in Whitby.


*I won't be seeing either of these things.

I wondered what she was doing post Galdiators

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:16, Reply)

They're a good looking bunch of lads, eh?

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:19, Reply)

I just like wandering the streets in a new town or city
Maybe an interesting shop or cafe, or just to look and for little nooks and crannies and that. I don't mean hookers. I mean interesting little bits. Not hookers. You filthy children.

Alt: Yeah always, also I'm hungry, when's it lunch time, can I have a pint with lunch?
( Theoban What of it, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:13, Reply)

I've eaten my lunch at 10am :o(
I need more food and beer

That sucks

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:16, Reply)

Rubbish, you've normally eaten your lunch well before then.

( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:16, Reply)

Maybe...but I've not brought any today, so that temptation isn't there

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Fri 8 Feb 2013, 11:21, Reply)

Interesting little shops.
Everywhere is all identikit high streets these days, so it's nice to find somewhere with a bit of character.

Kids generally like interactive things, don't they? Surely most museums and places have areas tailored to little people these days.

Alt: oh god, no. FAR too early.
