Friend and I stayed at Butlins in Bognor Regis for a 70s weekend. We were amazed at the disgusting state of the chalet when we arrived! We expected basic, but not filthy.

Daughter 3 worked at Skegness Butlins in the mid 80s...…………..as a Saturday chalet cleaner, she said it was unbelievable how disgusting the state some folk left the chalets in.

My first job at Butlins was at the ocean hotel in Brighton (1972)from there the manager recommended me to be a red coat in the now-defunct Filey camp (back then you did not to have X factor qualifications to get the job because believe me if you did I wouldn’t of got it!!) The next camp I went to was ... Phwelli in North Wales (I know it’s spelt wrong don’t shout at me please!) I printed T-shirts there,then I had a couple of seasons at minehead my last season was the year Elvis died,... 1977 so all in all about five years and I had a ball!!
