Love seaside. Love lakes. I just like WATER, really.
ILE meetups are good by me. Maybe we could all go to the Isle of Dogs.

i mean, sand, woo fucking hoo. does sand actually do anything? can it keep you amused for more than two minutes? don't you realise that practically every seaside town in britain is a depressing shoddy dump? these places have been falling apart for fifty years, they have the highest levels of unemployment and crime outside of the inner cities, and they STINK of FISH. what is there not to HATE about them? the local sea for local people joke is sadly inaccurate, even the public toilets are padlocked closed outside of the tourist season. i too grew up by the seaside.
DUDDEST DUD EVER DUDDED. come armageddon, come armageddon, come.

How about Southend, in honour of two bands we have rightly and properly forgotten, the Kursaal Flyers and The Records?

Seaside resorts off-season = classic. Esp. Broadstairs.

You would've loved the Jersey Shore ten years ago, when all the shit from NYC floated thereupon. Nowadays the bacteria remains on the boardwalk (esp. in S[l]easide Heights).

Apparently there is a 2CV enthusiasts' club which shares the name. Fascinating.

I too grew up by the sea, in delightful Sidmouth, the jewel of Lyme Bay. Around this time of year, I start wanting to be going home for the Folk Festival, then I read this year's line-up and realise I'm better off staying put.
But I do very much like sitting on the beach and *looking* at the sea, it's very calming. When we were young, we used to go to Eastbourne for Parish Eggy Holiday. That was brilliant.
Now I just want to go to Walton on the Naze. I mean, it's called Walton on the NOSE, after all! Surely this bears investigating?

Other southern England beaches, in bad weather and devoid of human detritus please = classic.

The phrase "human detritus" = mega-dud.
Person who only likes the seaside when it's deserted = no fun whatsoever as companion on trip to seaside.

I do like the seaside. I would like to live there in winter. If I could transfer everything and everyone I know to the coast, then I would.

It's a bleak place, really. I remember it being very sand-in-the-picnic-lunch windy all the time. And there were donkeys.
