An ode gone wrong...

When we saw a sign for Weston Super-Mare on the highway, we knew we had to drop in for a visit. One of the home towns in our favourite Britcom, Gavin and Stacy, WSW seemed a hilarious and wonderfully off-beat place to visit.

Unfortunately, hilarious it was not.  We arrived to find the beach at low tide, making it almost impossible to even see the water without squinting.  Regardless, the beach was packed with people, all shielding their eyes from the overpowering blowing sand, and avoiding the donkey poo that littered the beach.  The pier itself cost money to even walk along but the funds clearly did not go towards its maintenance of the upkeep of the  very unsafe looking beach rides.

Wanting to salute our "tv friends", Gavin and Stacy, we tried to give the place a fair shake.  But  after we felt we had hit the mandatory minimum, we shook the sand out of our clothes and hair and drove out of there as quickly as we could!
