    I went on tons of these £9.50 Sun holidays as a kid, every year to the same place - Butlins which later turned into Haven in Ayrshire in Scotland.
    It would always be the same weekend, first Thursday-Monday of July. I have some of my fondest memories as a kid there, with my grandparents at the arcades, go-karting and playing mini golf. The accommodation was shockingly similar to this, clearly nothing has changed in 15 years. But when you're 9 years old you don't notice that, you love the crap entertainment they put on and all the lights of the arcades.
    I'm really glad in retrospect I went every year from I was maybe 6 right until I was about 14 and got too old for it. That time spent with my grandparents was magical, and it was all captured on a camcorder my by granddad which was later converted to VHS. My grandparents have now all passed on, and I pop the videos on every now and again to relive a time in my life I was probably the happiest.
    I don't really have a point to make here, just that when you're a child and your parents can't afford to go abroad, you look forward to holidays like this every year more than Christmas. And not to sound like a complete boomer aged 26, but maybe that feeling is missing now as places like this become a thing of the past

    I think the problem is is that the place is literally the same as it was when it opened. There is a reason I feel for why Pontins is struggling. It's because they're simply not moving with the times and they're also not trying anymore. The stuff just looks so dated now.
