Basically, anyone with a glass coffee table seems to have been to Dubai. And if they've got a glass dining table they probably go every year.

Is this a "hot lunch" thing?

Never been to any festivals.
Never been to Butlins or Centre Parcs
Never been into an Asda

ThePoshUns · 15/06/2024 19:43

Dubai never been, never will

AStepAtaTime · 15/06/2024 19:58

Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia, Staines, Dubai.

No intention to go either. These places just don’t appeal.

AStepAtaTime · 15/06/2024 19:59

Oh and Centre Parcs. Because it’s daylight robbery. You can get a cabin in a wood at a fraction of the price and schedule activities

HopeSpringsInfernal · 15/06/2024 23:51

New York
Rome
I have been to Hull though 😂

Nando's

A gym

Disney land

A festival

Sn1859 · 16/06/2024 13:35

Anywhere north of Alton Towers -
anywhere that’s not France (only Calais, Paris and the route to Saint Chéron)
Wales
anywhere that sells noodles (they’re disgusting)
anywhere above 2 stars
Tinder
on an aeroplane

I've been to most places in England, Scotland and wales apart from the south of England.

Done London a few times but never been anywhere else. It seems quite over populated and with not particularly interesting or hilly scenery so I haven't bothered.

I think Dartmoor might be ok but a long way to go for scenery that's like the moor I live on at home.

London is a city, so it’s not particularly green and is always busy. You would have needed to go to Surrey, or Kent for green.

TeamPolin · 16/06/2024 13:58

Nando's
The Warner Bros studio Harry Potter experience thing

Liverpool
Most of the south coast - Brighton, Portsmouth, Southampton
Isle of Wight etc

Abroad:
New York
Disneyland/world
Florida
Dubai (not remotely tempted)
Australia/NZ

Skiing

StripedPiggy · 16/06/2024 14:02

Magaluf

Somehow, I think I will survive without sampling the delights of these places.
