Ey Oop, Chatter Gang!
Skegness has been rated the WORST seaside town in the UK, but is it really that bad? In this video, we'll visit Skeggy to see for ourselves whether the reports are true.
We'll check out the shopping, restaurants, cafes, beach, and sea to see if they're really as bad as everyone says. We'll also talk to some locals to get their opinions on the town.
So, is Skeggy really the WORST seaside town in the UK? Watch the video to find out!
Please give us a Like if you enjoy the video because we really love your likes! And if you're new to the channel please subscribe. It will cost you absolutely nowt!
Best love as always, Colin & Tim, The Chatter Guys xxx

Loads of shops in your walk about. Very busy. Didn’t see that many charity shops , noticed the AgeUK, so not as down and out as a lot of towns in Uk. A lot of mobility scooters . We did Butlins there years ago.

@thechatterguys Год назад
Cheers Eddie!! We did a walk along the coast a couple of years ago which took us past Butlin's. It is nothing like Tim remembers as a kid in the 60s 😆 We would say that, from what we saw, Skegness appears to be thriving 👍 Not many charity shops at all.

Nice to see a positive video on Skegness, I am from Nottingham but come here every couple of weeks, most of the negative comments about Skegness are from people who have never been, there is something for everyone, flashing lights and drama are easy to find, but there are also some lovely restaurants, some great animal parks and nature reserves on the outskirts, there is also lovely countryside a few minutes walk away, next time you come back you have to try no9 restaurant in the town centre, great value and superb quality Mediteranean food
@thechatterguys
@thechatterguys Год назад
Ooh! Thanks for your recommendation, Stuart. We shall make a note of No.9 for the next time we visit. We love Mediterranean food. Sounds like there's tons more to Skegness for us to cover in our videos. Thanks again! ⛵🌊💡

My sister loves that bag shop, tho there not very well made.. she bought 6 but they split. There are a lot of pubs if you like a drink, i drink i dont. Skegness is nice & flat for the walking impaired, we hire mobility scooters, for that reason. Just after the trafic lights on your right is a craft shop where you can get puzzles etc.we stay in hotels, im VERY, VERY claustrophobic. Youll find designer shops in the arcade near the jewellers.

I have memories of Skegness from the early 60s when I was pre-school age. Me and my family went to Butlins a few times and it was always great, I still have black and white photo's of me and mum or dad when I did the cutest child contest or something like that in the days when they had glamorous grandmother competitions too. The theatre at Butlins was called the Gaiety Theatre which was also great to go to. Since growing up though, Skeggy has never been my favourite resort, I always preferred Blackpool or Scarborough. The last time I visited Skeggy was around 1986 with friends and it was quite uneventful if I recall. I have no desire to return but I'm glad that from what I see in this video, it seems to be doing great business. There are lots of shops and few closed premises. Seaside resorts used to be famous for theatres and their star attractions in summer seasons but this seems to be a thing of the past nowadays, not just in Skeggy, but in all resorts. Excellent video though.

Hi Tidybitz! Sounds like you and Tim are about the same age. He used to go to Butlin's every year with his family when he was a boy. They went to Skegness a couple of times but more often they went to the camp in Filey. Do you remember that all the rides and entertainment were free? You only needed ice cream money! 🍦🍦🍦
