Love skegness, home to the third best butlins in the country
They obviously mean Skeggy. Who would pick sunny Madrid over the North Sea riviera?
The strange thing is that I very rarely hear this the other way around… if someone I know (from the uk) books a holiday to Disney world, or New York, or vegas, I don’t think they would ever just say “I’m going to America”
When Americans say “I’m going to Europe” it’s either Rome, Paris or London. Sometimes Ireland to go to “their homeland”
Mostly because they think different states are as varied as different countries across Europe. Which is insane, we don’t even speak the same languages. Have the same education systems or have shared cultures. Half of those countries have been at war with each other in the last 1000 years and apart from an economic union have very little in common. Americans are stuck in their own weird propaganda.
As someone who grew up in ingoldmells / Skegness and work at butlines for 5 years as a lifeguard, I can assure anyone who hasn’t been that it’s a shit hole. I can’t wait for a reason to never return to the dump.
Of course it’s not. Skeg is awesome, Madrid is a dump – that’s the point.
I don’t hear Stormzy singing about the “Sounds of the Madrid”…
Then they complain that they get treated like one country, although they literally are?
Ah Skegness where a real world time machine exists. Go there and you are stepping back in time to the 1950s!
