Good Day (21)

Hi everyone, hope you have had/are having a wonderful Friday.

Great to see you Barbara, James, Shirley (with lots of news again).

Couldn't get on site earlier as we had no connection!! (You send your problems over here then James to get rid of them your side?? lol)  Then I took my daughter in law shopping, we've been busy trying to find "stocking fillers" for the grandchildren.  The she and my son stayed for supper so we grabbed take-aways, they've gone home now, hubby has collapsed on the bed after working on his car today, and I now have some blessed peace.   So I really hope there is someone on here tonight to chat to!!!!

I was surprised to learn that one of England's foremost holiday brands, Pontins, has gone into Administration with one of the so-called Big 4 accountants, KPMG trying to keep the company going while they now run it for the present time.

Used to live near the Pontins at Camber Sands and seems to have been there since kingdom come. The one at Prestatyn Sands was featured in the 1973 On The Buses film, Holiday On The Buses. 

I wonder how many other people thought the same as you James, and thus part of their problem?  

For old times sake, the open top  decker used in Holiday On The Buses was Bristol LD  229 XFM formerly with Crosville Motor Services, while the other film and TV buses used were Bristol KSW's and Lodekkas from Eastern National.
