Default PONTINS gone bust ....

That's the end of £2 a night pi55 ups for the SUN reading elite

The chavs and scum must really think the world is out to get then ... benefits under pressure - now PONTINS going down the pan.

Only BUTLINS left for you now ...

Travelodge .. the home of the Pikey, will surely go before the Chavs at CentreParcs!

That's actually really sad news. Some of my fondest childhood memories are from Pontins.

Talk about kicking a man when he is down.

Surely PSL these people (pikeys) are "your" people (from the content of your posts anyway)

Can't beat a travel lodge for a cheap place to stay if you just need somewhere to put your head down for the night, wouldn't want to do more than a night though

Didn't think Centreparcs was pikey - the prices aren't exactly cheap. I spent all weekend in the pool. Theres a Centreparcs clone near where I live called Blue Stone. Its like 3 or 4 hundred quid for a few days.

Premier Inn for me. Always seem to use the same one - end of the M50 near Ross on Wye. Always been fine to me.

I like Lanzarote as long as you book for the old town, take self catering its not too bad and theres at least something to go see - volcano, caves etc.

I did do a cheapy with the wifes family to Ibiza once - never a f*cking gain! It was like Shameless On Tour.

Lanzarote is great - in fact I think the Canaries as a whole are brilliant for a bit of winter sun

keep away from the tourist holes -- and you get the lovely Spanish flavour

Jameos del Agua is a very cool pace too
