FFS- the inlaws have (very kindly ) paid and suprised us with a holiday to a holiday ....

[Albumen]

My family had a caravan there in the 70s when I was a kid, I loved it (but then I was a kid).

I went back there a few years ago just to have a look as I was passing Chichester. I'm pleased I got out alive.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

.... Park in Selsey
I am informed (on pain of death) that I have to go for a couple of days .

Anyone ever been? What's it like?

Will anyone try and kill me?

Put it this way, Elvis Costello had a hit in 1978 with "(I Don't Want To Go To) Selsey"

If it is Bunn Leisure it is wonderful for young children took 2 of my grandchildren there a month ago they loved it.

It's fairly obvious that your in-laws think their daughter has married below herself, but having got over the shock, are now trying to befriend you by booking you a holiday which they think you will enjoy, given your social status

Yeah, Bunn Leisure - great for kids and adults alike, especially if you can dump them off (the kids that is) at the kids clubs!!!

That really made me laugh. Very funny.

 

[BensGrandad]

Glad somebody agrees with me, we did just that.

hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Funniest thing i've read for ages.

You will be right at home, amongst the 6-fingered, cloven-hooved, hunch-backed inmates

My Mother in Law was always trying to punish me too !

Ha ha. Brilliant analysis.

Great for entertainment but not much else. Probably best not to venture into selseys pubs as they can be inhabited by the cheap tarmac brigade !
just pop out to watch whatever bands playing then straight back to the caravan to play cards and eye spy. Be safe and remember to stick to the road,
you never know whats lurking in the fields

'Saturday's Kids' tells it better

Agree it mentions the place, Squeeze summed up the whole experience with 'Pulling Mussels'.

Yep, good advice, leave your canoe at home and listen out for banjos

 

[lawros left foot]

Didn't Paul Weller write "That's Entertainment" there?

 

[Return of the Rev]

Had a couple of days there in the 80's turds in the shower people urinating into each others mouths outside the caravans

It's a hard life, having a holiday paid for you, whether it be Selsey or Sydney. I suggest you make the most of it and enjoy yourself. Generally, it doesn't matter where you go, it is who you go with...

 

[Pinkie Brown]

Didn't Paul Weller write "That's Entertainment" there?

He did. AND he was in a caravan at the time.

Oh, and for the info of the op: Its horrible down there. There's few grimmer places than Selsey Bill/Bracklesham Bay on a wet windy day. It will be full of Brummie old boilers with weight problems and orange tans on girls weekends. I've no idea when you are going, but it will rain when you are there. Entertainment in the clubhouse will probably be a Showaddywaddy tribute band or similar.

Enjoy.......

I suspect someone will, if Selsey's going to be as bad as I fear. It will be yourself !

When we was there is was an ABBA tribute act and the winner of Stars in Their Eyes portraying Billy Fury both were good and very enjoyable entertainment for the 2 evenings.
