Sorry, should have explained myself better. One's comment was directed to "The inflatables". On P&O, the Police SWAT Team would also require full body armour, and covering fire. Woe betide any guest moving a "reserved" empty sunbed two inches, just to walk through, as the assembled Coven will turn on you, with the missing reserver promptly returning to deliver a punch in the face. The Coven, having witnessed everything, will deny anything occurred to officials. Edited August 17, 2020 by PORT ROYAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not one's Butler, but do know the Cunard MD' "Mafia" has more discreet and clever ways of dealing with miscreants, without any direct connection to one. You agree?

Rare SarahHben Posted August 22, 2020 #4289 Share Posted August 22, 2020 We went to Dover Castle today and saw several cruise ships, Majesty of the Seas, Jewel of the Seas & Disney Magic. After taking way too many photos of them from the castle we went for a wander and got a better view of two of them . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieC Posted August 23, 2020 #4290 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Apropos of nothing relevant, I've just been pointed in the direction of this website, which looks rather useful for those thinking of booking a last minute UK break - it gives the areas at risk of lockdown as well as those already locked down plus those (currently) in the clear. If it's been posted before and I missed it, apologies. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1APtcBmI4JeTR0Ysufjavgg2gy4MBiHz0Hf9eKIp5BSo/edit#gid=1865138965 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitby is a nice place to visit and somewhere we have been to many times. It is also an excellent base for touring the North Yorkshire Moors,Heartbeat,Malton, Helmsley, Flamingoland and Eden prisoner of war camp at Pickering and other coastal resorts like Scarborough,Redcar, Bridlington etc. Hopefully you will get away and have a fantastic time.

Graham. I can' believe that we have lived in Derbyshire for over 30 years and never previously visited Whitby!! Really looking forward to it and we will probably stop for lunch at Malton on the way.We also have a night at Bridlington as we have never been to Flamborough Head.We only live 10 miles from the border of South Yorkshire so its about time we explored more of the county!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitby with it's tales of Dracula, and Robin Hoods Bay and Staithes, which are like quaint 18th century fishing villages. Come and visit us, we're friendly folk 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
