I went about 12 years ago. Mainly for my daughter to have fun. For the price it just wasn't worth it. Then you had to pay ridiculous extra for some activities. The biggest rip off was before we went we saw the centre parcs video of being able to walk across the lake from one side to the other in a transparent zorb ball. It looked brilliant. We paid the silly amount extra, got in the zorb balls, and started falling down every time we tried to walk. The ball just stayed on the spot and spun on the water as it couldn't grip. So you just kept falling over in the ball. When we asked the young lady attendant, she said no one has ever walked in the balls to the other side. It was hard enough just to stand up in them. Only when we got back home did we google it to find the video was fake. They wouldn't get away with it nowadays.
This gives you an idea of how it was trying to walk across the water in a zorb ball.
 
A lot of schools around here are starting to try to work with parents on this, and grouping all their non pupil days into a week tagged on either to October or Whitsun half term, meaning parents are able to take a week's holiday at a cheaper price.

Only a matter of time before the money grabbing ****s cotton on though. I don’t work in a school but really feel for those who do and are stuck paying over the odds for a holiday that should cost 3 times less.

Of course, I've been there myself, and remember as a child that holidays were always more expensive in the peak months of July and August. The problem is that the greedy holiday companies have made it astronomically more expensive, something should be done about it - it's like Uber surging prices!

And how long do you think it will take travel firms to wise up to this?
 
Spent 4 hours in Southend A&E GP.

Full of druggies, the obese and half of the people were outside smoking when called to see the doctor.
