So it comes round to that time of year again... the girlfriends birthday :eek: (15th April) Now although I still have no idea what to get her (God help me) I am thinking of taking her to the seaside for the day. Mainly because she keeps asking if we can go... :rolleyes: I am however unsure where to go.

So I ask ye of OCUK to spec me said beach! (I do however have some criteria)
  • She lives in Milton Keynes so within a day trip from there (Yes she might have to get up early for her birthday!)
  • Preferably not Bournemouth or Weymouth as I took her there for Valentines day and will get told I'm be unoriginal!
  • Needs sand.

That is all and thanks for any help you may offer! (Awaits Oxo tower suggestion:p)

Go down to Cornwall for a couple of days. It'll probably be a bit too cold this time of year, but you can take your chances. It's a lovely part of the country either way.

If you want sunshine, pop over to France and start heading south. :D

It does depend on what she's expecting as a trip to the seaside though? If she's after a Victorian amusement type place, then you've got a lot to choose from (Scarbrough, Brighton, Southend, etc.). If she just wants a bit of quiet, look to the lesser known places such as Paignton, etc. Bognor Regis maybe?

A bit down the road from Bournemouth, but Sankbanks in Poole is very nice.

Most expensive property prices in the world.
 
Most expensive property prices in the world? are you sure? What sort of prices do they go for?

ive also heard that they have some of the most expensive properties in the world. ive heard that one of the gallagher brothers have a place down there as does harry redknapp.

there was uproar a couple of years ago with a bank refusing to deal with account holders with less than 50k in the bank in sandbanks.

quite a few properties for sale on rightmove for 8/9 mil
