    Students living at Southport Pontins

    Interesting article on BBC News today:

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...yside-14639950

    Doesn't say how many students are being put up, but I wonder if that has any knock-on implications for Weekenders at Southport during term time?

    Yes, I saw that. How's that going to work then? Let me rephrase that - what??

    Someone get up there and teach them to dance before the October weekender - more people is good, more young fit attractive agile people is excellent

    Poor them – It’s got to make any other student accommodation seem like luxury. At least we won’t disturb them when we crawl back to our chalet at 6am, as they are likely to still be up themselves

    So, which chalets will they be in and where will they have been until that time ? Not in the bar with us I hope.

    Hmmmmm, I have a very bad feeling about this..........

    Re: Students living at Southport Pontins

    Is it not possible that this arrangement may only be temporary?

    So... what? I mean, have Pontins gone out of the holiday accommodation business then? I honestly can't see how this will work otherwise.

    Does anyone have any idea what percentage of the total number of chalets at Pontins SP is involved in this?

    The description of the 'apartments' in the article is hilarious, though I suppose they could be said to have fitted kitchens & private bathrooms! It paints a picture of the students living the high life.
    I can't see how it would work for them unless they have their own transport to get to Ormskirk.
