pssstt



thats Lincolnshire

could be worse

could be Whitley Bay

I also have happy memories of Scarborough,and I love the town,but less than a year ago they were really making a big effort to claim Savile as their own Jimmy.great tourist attraction etc.All this scandal is disgusting,but we are seeing so much of now it reminds of a certain statement made about eleven years ago"its a good day to bury bad news"

Oi - now you've offended me, nowt wrong with Whitley Bay from what I can remember.

Rat pie was especially nice if you didn't get the slice with all the gristle in it.

Anyway, the last resort is surely Withernsea ?

I've never yet been to another seaside resort that tries so hard to pretend that its not a seaside resort.

Have you never been to Mablethorpe?

The Rex on a Thursday night had its moments too!

Grab a Granny night - with real grannies.

<shudder>

But at least they were old enough!

Yes but I was only 22 at the time.

I only went once, with a sales rep who was staying at the hotel I lived in, he was much older than me and thought it was totty heaven, I sat in the corner trying not to make eye contact but feeling like a lamb wandering around a slaughterhouse.

Did you watch Newsnight on Thursday? This isn't a couple of accusations and a few "bandwagoners". "The Savile Problem" seems to be something the institutions he "volounteered" at swept under the carpet for years. Maybe they should have told him to jog on, but can you imagine the publicity or the difficulty of trying to explain why you didn't want the guy to turn up (remember, he's a friend of the Royals and thought of as practically a saint)?
Far too many people are speaking up, and in reality what evidence is there ever in sexual abuse cases? It quite often boils down to the word of one person (in the case of the victim this could be a young, troubled individual) against the abuser (in this case a massively famous celebrity venerated for his good works). What we have now are very large numbers of people coming forward to tell how he groped, fondled and attacked them.

The guy is dead now, digging his body up, attacking his family is totally pointless (these things are never done by victims anyway - just yobs looking for an excuse to feel good about being a-holes).

Like I said it's depressing. I'm now waiting to hear that Kevin Sinfield is such a good goalkicker because he practices with kittens and JJB demands panda sausages in his pre-match breakfast.

30 - 40 years on and its all about the money IMO now he has slipped off this mortal coil.

expect to see masses of law suits lodged against the BBC, the NHS, Stoke Manderville, Broadmoor, etc etc etc.

The lawyers must all be rubbing their hands with glee.

How on earth would you provge that you'd been groped by Jimmy Savile, 10, 20, 30, 40 years ago ?

Even the eye witness accounts haven't been able to name a victim yet and for most of the ones who are prepared to stand up and tell their story, they have no witnesses.

I'm quite prepared to believe that Jimmy Savile was a sexual predator but if its as simple as putting your hand up and shouting out "Yeah, he did me at the BBC as well" to get some compensation then where's the queue...

I'm sorry

I havent been for over a year now so it could be amazing
