Or if you're travelling to that neck of the woods, take a left on the M27 and go to West Wittering instead. Much, much nicer then Bournemouth (but not a town or city).

Nonsense. Don't listen to him Dan. I like WW, but it's busy, often very windy, and when the tide comes in you've got about 2ft of beach to play with. Southbourne is where it's at for the true South Coast afficionado.

As it's the mother in law that's taking us and booked the hotel, I guess we go where she tells us to! I think the hotel's near Boscombe which looks like it's next to Southbourne so we'll check it out.

Naff all in terms of decent pubs in Bournemouth by the way - but the Asda by the train station had a very good and cheap range of bottles ales.

Boscombe's nice.

Boscombe's nice.

Any eating establishment recommendations? Boscombe looks like it's got loads of cafe's which will please the MIL.

Yes, it's quite good for food. Haven't been down there for a while but last time I was, we went to a South Indian/Sri Lankan restaurant called something cheesy like Dosa World. Doesn't look much but the food was great. There was quite a nice alternative vibe about the town - like Portland by the sea! (Portland Oregon, of course, not Portland Dorset, which actually is Portland by the sea.)

The durdle door and beach are really nice near Bournemouth, our kids loved it:

6th - 10th for me, Butlins Minehead with the grandchildren, keepin my fingers crossed and checking every 14 day forecast that's going every couple of hours.

Same! Me and the missus are off to Cork for a few days, hoping for good weather as its been glorious here on weekdays for the last month, but crap at the weekends.

Chaplins Cellar Bar seems to be my best bet. On the website I can see a pic of some bottles of Einstok which I recall Lycan raving about recently.

Ooh yes. Meant to be very nice. Made with the purest water in the world, or sutin.

Bournemouth is great. Went there a few years ago. Lovely garden near the sea front too.

Sorry Deutsch, Mark and co but I think this is ace.

It's currently 34 °C in Cyprus, so Mark may well appreciate 30 °C here...

Lovely, especially the Thunderstorms. Nice weather leading up to my hols.

Just checked the weather for our holiday in The Algarve. Solid 28-30℃ all week. That'll do.

"High temperatures, particularly across southern Britain". Not a bad week to be going to the south coast by the looks of it!

It's all the same to me when it passes 20, never need anything hotter.

Hopefully Derbyshire will veto it's right to sunny weather in order to ensure tip-top weather for your holiday.

Whilst I'm sure many of you wont understand the implications of this, that's a Warlord Titan at 1.10 in the video :yikes:

Today the model up for pre-order and friend is buying it for his collection.

Never thought I'd see the day. Wow.
