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.

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.

| Quote: leeds owl "It would appear that a lot of people are acting like bullies regarding these alleged incidents by jumping on a bandwagon and saying what they think people would like to hear. TV reporters,celebrities and even police officers are viewing these ALLEGED incidents as actual incidents with no proof whatsoever in some cases. If something could have been conclusively proved it should have been done a long,long time ago. If anything did happen the only people that really know are Savile and the ALLEGED victims at this moment in time. Does anyone remember poor old Karen Mathews whose daughter had been "kidnapped" and that landlord down in Bristol that had "murdered" his lodger. I have my own thoughts on Savile, but neither you,I, or that silly bitch Esther Rantzen know exactly how much truth there is to many parts of this investigation. Sadly too many people may have stayed quiet for too long, others are coming forward with "evidence" based on hearsay.'"
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...

The clip they showed of him on the show from 1994 was very disturbing to say the least
