![Post Post](templates/standard/images/icon_minipost.gif) Posted: 14:07 - 15 Jun 2021 Post subject: Disappointing places. |
![](images/spacer.gif) |
|
We all come on here and talk about where we’ve been, mostly good.
Occasionally we come across a place that is a big disappointment and we tell others on here.
Well today I have been to such a place.
The Motorcycle Museum in North Walsham , Norfolk.
£5 to get in and about ten minutes looking at dirty uncared for scrap!
Most of the bikes had spider shit and birds muck on them
I’d say at least 80% of the bikes were broken/unrepaired/parts missing.
If rust was money, they’d all be rich in there.
The old skinny bald bloke who took my entry money, had the charm of a broken gate post .
It’s more like a breakers yard than a museum.
So where have you lot been to that you would not go back to and not recommend to others? ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now!

Yeah, that's in Keswick.

Stonehenge - a lot smaller than I expected.
(That's what she said )
Avebury up the road was more interesting and you could actually get close to it. |

Back before they ruined the site, the shop there used to sell nice rock cakes.

Rome.
Maybe it was because it was the height of summer and peak tourist season but:
1. Fucking stank, worse smelling than Venice,
2. Fucking dirty, easily the dirtiest city I've been to in the whole world and that includes some piss poor places in Cuba and Venezuela. Litter everywhere and a fucking dust bowl,
3. Fucking expensive, eating out was expensive and generally fucking sub-par. Went to a restaurant and the waiter said they do pasta better than any restaurant in the whole of the UK. Got a spaghetti carbonara and it was mid as fuck,
4. Fucking crowded, everywhere was jumping with tourists and a load of Africans with their "just for you, my special friend, very good price" generic tat,
5. Fucking boring, you can go to the Sistine Chapel, the Trevi fountain and the Colosseum all in the same day and congratulations you've seen everything of note that Rome has to offer. ____________________ PRESENT: 2018 BMW S1000XR SE Sport.
