Places you've never been to that everyone else has

[reallifeboogie]

What places have you never been to that everyone else seems to have been? Either shops, restaurants, tourist attractions or actual towns/cities/countries

For me..
London
Manchester

Anywhere abroad other than Orlando and Benidorm.

John Lewis
Next.. been in but never bought anything

Nandos
Starbucks
Costa coffee
Wagamama

Alton towers

Dubai
Harrod’s

Tenerife, Lanzarote, Alton Towers, Disneyland Paris, Nando’s.

Actually, the only parts of Spain I’ve been to are Madrid and Barcelona. It’s a bit restrictive as a vegetarian.

Oh, and the Lake District!

I used to live within walking distance of Harrods and would go there "for a look" 😀

These days the places I've never been but so many others have~

Thailand
Dubai
USA

Probably lots more including those in above posts

I’ve never been to Spain or any of the islands. Only because of happenstance, I’ve nothing against them.

For those who've never been to Nados... When you do go the host goes through a well rehearsed script including asking if you've been before...
We hadn't, the host and the manager had never encountered this before and we all got a free pudding 😂👍

I've never been to Alton Towers or been go-carting.

I've also lived incredibly close to two different famous and well trodden hills/mountains and not walked up either of them 😂

You did better than we did @SuperSharpShooter The first time we went, they didn't mention that it was counter service and left us sitting at the table for 10 minutes wondering why no-one had come to take our order.

I've been to a lot of places once, only to decide I don't like them and won't need to go again, eg Subway.

Never been outside Europe apart from a liveaboard to Egypt, which probably doesn't count as I didn't see anything of the country the blatant con tricks and sexism in the airport on the way back was enough to put me off.

Never stayed in Center Parcs either.

OP, do you live very rurally? Just wondering how you've managed to avoid both Costa and Starbucks. I don't even like coffee and I've been to both loads.

Croydon

Also...the gym

She might be very urban and have lots of other options? I’ve definitely been in both when living elsewhere, but now I live in a city centre with a lot of very good independent coffee roasters, and opting for bad coffee in a chain just wouldn’t occur to me. I reckon it’s possibly 20 years since I was in a Starbucks, and Costa probably only in an emergency in an airport.

Nando's.

Nandos (like lots of others it seems!)

Ireland. This despite being from an Irish Catholic background. It's the only country in Western Europe I've never been to.

Aldi. (Love Lidl though!)

I don't live rurally and I have never been to one!

Abroad: Spain, Thailand, Dubai

British cities: Nottingham, Leicester, Derby, Bradford, Coventry, Belfast, Hull, Stoke on Trent, (plus lots of smaller ones)

Days out/holidays: Alton Towers, Thorpe Park
Centre Parks

Eating and drinking: Nando's, Costa, Starbucks

No doubt lots of other places too!

Manchester
Dubai
The statue of liberty
The empire state building (even though spent 6 months in NY!?)

Most of Europe - I’ve seen Paris and Brussels and the major war memorials though.

Adding Alton Towers and Centre Parcs but they are family oriented so not for me.

Dubai
Ibiza
Disneyland Paris

I’d like to visit Ibiza, the nice part, not the party town part. Not fussed about Dubai.

Oh I’ve been to Dubai or Ibiza either

probably haven’t been most places barring the US and Australia

Spain, Portugal, Greece, the Canaries, Madeira (anywhere hot basically).
A comedy gig.
