A few short rants
...since my bigger rants have been well covered by other people.

Bexhill-on-Sea
Awful depressing hole of a place - imagine Clacton (see the first link above) with a few thousand less people and slightly posher accents. There's absolutely bugger all to do there, except avoid the junkies.

Paris
Dirty, boring and so prohibitively expensive that we subsisted entirely on McDonalds for the whole weekend. What really topped it off was when we got firecrackers thrown at us for having the nerve to be English. We were 11 years old, on a school trip. The best part of the whole trip was sabotaging a PE teacher's attempt to pull an American girl, by wandering up to him and saying "hey Dad, where's Mum?".

There was going to be more, but I hit post instead of preview and now I can't be arsed.
