Thanks. Tried that and can't see anything, but thanks for the heads up its not me.
Makes a change as I've got fat fingers!

Yes it can be a bit awkward if you do it accidentally. But sometimes you want to ignore card carrying Nazis but don't know quite how to activate it.

The Old town area in particular is very good.

Been to lots of places and picking the right spot down old town and poniente is as good as any ...pound for pound.

Go 2 miles down the coast..yup, different story

For some reason I am not allowed to ignore the person that is ignoring me. It comes up with some message that they have changed their username. Yet I can see it being linked plainly in other posts. What is happening Jim ?

 

[Tombola]

ignore the person that is ignoring me

I thought that...if that person is ignoring you, you wouldn't see that persons posts or "quoted" posts
so trying to ignore them is probably pointless.

The last visit to Benidorm 1971

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Me and Shirley Blossom had lager last night in Stars bar, Benidorm at €2 a pint. Must remember to take some cans for our journey back through France!

If you buy the masy ma'ys canned larger it's less that 1 emu a litre.. you can take a shed load of beer back with you .more than you can carry really.

 

[Jimbohorlicks]

Rest of Spain is great but you know what you can do with Benidorm.
I've not risen to the bate on your previous posts, believe me I was tempted.

But you only spent 4 hrs there. So why keep saying it's rubbish.
In 4 hours you have missed the best parts of benidorm.
There were at least 17 funster vans there this winter. And all had a ball..and no we didn't miss you either Lenny HB

Big Bertha after my 6 berth motorhome although I 've put on a bit.

 

[Tombola]

Well, we've all put on a bit since then big bertha
And I'm sure you're still enjoying it.

You were rocking it in 71 , I'm sure.
That must have been real benidorm early days ?

First time i went to Benidorm was 1969 from the proceeds of getting the lead off a building that was to be demolished in Manchester . Went to scaffold it. Older brother in charge said "right, you you and you on the roof get the lead, you you and you start basing out the scaffold".
Here now after 1,000s of visits since.
Ray's chippy for Friday's tea.

 

[EuroTrotters]

I was there a couple of weeks ago for my fix

You dont have to go far to experience the beauty of Benidorm. The Spanish fiestas with the parades are beautiful with a great sense of how they celebrate their culture. In the Old Town the church and the castle and the lovely tapas bars with the friendly waiters and waitresses. Yes it can be noisy, I think the Spanish tend to talk loud but that is how they are. Not far away is Albia and Altea again beautiful places.

Its the brits that ruined the "drunk part" of benidorm

I’ve been extolling the virtues of Benidorm with a Beni thread every time we come Shirl.

I didn’t have the strength or heart to do it this year, but we still had a lovely time.

Let those who decry it carry on. Those who love it will keep coming back, and it’s their company we’ll continue to enjoy on the terraces and in the bars, restaurants and tapas bars we all know about.

Safe trip home girls, and thanks for your company.

 

[scotjimland]

I'm starting to think some members are employed by the Benidorm Tourist board.. almost evangelical about the place... but as it's so popular and busy there is no need to try and convert me or anyone else ,,.

just enjoy it ..

no need to be "extolling the virtues" ,

we don't all enjoy the same "virtues" of " the bars, restaurants and tapas bars"

I stayed in the Rio Park hotel I think it had Legionaires disease outbreak the year after.

So don’t read it then.

I know the ‘virtues’ of a lithium battery, but I’d never read a thread about them.

Its the brits that ruined the "drunk part" of benidorm

That may be true. Could you imagine how much revenue they would lose if the brits didnt go?

 

[jerryz]

More likely your unfortunate daughter may have caught some form of water born bug from the spas and not from the food.
Hot tubs etc are a very easy area for the breeding of bugs if not cleaned and operated clinically.
Just saying like.

My daughter was not the one who got ill she was fine all week , it was me who was laid low

 

[scotjimland]

So don’t read it then.

the thread title is>>>

If you don’t like Benidorm? ..​

which I don't , hence posting..

Not, why I love Beni..
