I worked at Butlins in 1999. Noddy's Toyland was closed for a few weeks in the summer because Big Ears hooked up with a guy in a Skeggy nightclub - as the cast all shared the character costumes they soon all caught a dose of the crabs he picked up & Toyland needed fumigating
Only the UK could make a megastar out of Robbie Williams, a Butlins redcoat who got lucky. Say what you want about the Yanks, but they took one look and said 'you've got to be fucking kidding me'. Which was, is, and always will be, the only correct reaction.
Me: evidence proves Gaza is not a concentration camp The replies: how dare you - โข say Gaza was perfect/Butlins, you Nazi (I didnโt) โข celebrate its destruction, you Nazi (I didnโt) โข You're horrible. Despicable. F*ck off. Psychopath. Moron. Ugly. Etc, etc. Ad Homs galore.
Jeff at 79 has been off work on full pay for 613 days,the only time he got better was in June last year for 3 days to attend his daughters wedding, oh and a week in Sept to go to Butlins, but apart from that hes the proud owner of the longest one on record. Marvel at its length!
