The fact is, tourists who are visiting the beaches of California want to stay in beach houses, and if you can offer one for lease, you can pocket a decent income. You can use the beach house as a vacation home, and then offer it for lease when you are living in your primary residence. You may even find that you get frequent renters who return to your property year after year.

I don’t know to be honest!! |
If my memory serves me right there were remote controlled tanks in there. Probably politically incorrect today, but some were British and some were German and you controlled them over some scenery like roads and bridges e.t.c. They were coin operated and were quite large.

A flaw in PBB security

1) Why did you leave?
2) If you think PBB security is that bad, why don’t you report it to someone right at the top?
3) Could you see Amanda personally? or is she impossible to get near, a bit like Robbie Williams - let’s say  |
1) That’s more to do with me as a person. It was a stop gap whilst my other half was waiting to start work as a teacher. I have a degree in software engineering, and was starting another degree so needed time for that. I also discovered I had a serious knee injury which required me to not be trudging round for 12 - 16 hour stints.
2) I think it’s worse than you could possibly imagine, as do several other interested parties, not least friends of mine in the local police and trading standards (that’s another story for another day, though) - but again, you need to understand the hierarchy of the place before you understand just how unimportant the workers’ opinions are. So, the only thing it would have achieved at the time would have been certain unemployment, and now I’m out of there, it seems a moot point, and to put a selfish spin on it - someone else’s problem.
3) Not a chance. Her workforce don’t exist to her. They’re just a means to an end. I couldn’t possibly have enough time to tell you all the stories (some of which come from my first hand experience) of her attitude and lack of respect towards the people in that place making her the money she uses to laud over them. To put it bluntly, she really REALLY couldn’t care less about what one of her seasonal employees had to say about the area she considers herself the expert in.
Some of the above makes me sound almost bitter, reading back. It’s more a case of the fact the pleasure beach is the worst place I’ve ever had the misfortune to work at. The type of person I am means I’d do anything for a living - I don’t value myself as especially better than anyone else, but I think it’s fair to say that I think I can (and do) do better for myself, so I chose to.
I disagree with most of the practices there, I disagree with the way they treat their staff and I disagree with some things that went on I couldn’t possibly comment on with this being a public site no doubt read by those I refer to. But I can be a lot more pragmatic about it, and understand that it’s what works for them, and not for me.

Well, considering the day and age we live in, perhaps this should change. Should they have trained staff, with it being a high-profile public destination?
We have to look at economies of scale in order to find the answer. In other words, the question isn’t "should they" more the question of "Is it financially benefical for them to have trained staff in place, who would no doubt make the place safer, but increase costs".
(Assuming the training is paid for, or you’re paying an accredited professional more than the standard minimum wage to do a quite serious role. And where do the costs go? Do they take a hit on their profits? Do they increase admission to cover the cost?)
Does PBB value its customers safety to do the above? And does it consider it necessary to pay out the money to do so?
Make your own answer to that one

Superb pictures! I love London! If you are tired of London, you are tired of life…  |
Hi
Me and my other half also love London her a little more than me, the only thing I dont like about London is the pace especally on the tube, more so if your on there at peak times, something you cannot avoid if like us you like to take in a show or 2 when your there. the people just barge past on them long tunnels when you have to switch lines or are leaving at your station.
Dont get me wrong any one who knows me knows I dont walk slow myself and like to get to where i am going as quick as possible but in London its just manic, ok I admit with most of the people who are doing this its commuters wanting to get home at the end of the day but it just so gets on my wick.
But the city and all it has to offer i love except the London Eye i just cannot do it, its odd though I can go up Blackpool Tower no problems (cannot do the walk of faith and look down though), and I can go up in a light aircraft on a pleasure flight, but the Eye just could not do for some reason.

I agree! Whats up with these people? Walking along wired up to something and typing on their blackberries…and nobody speaks on the tube, everyone just reads their books or sits poker faced!

Yeah, there never is an option online. You’d need to book over the phone or in person I guess. Even then, I wouldn’t say it’d be in any way guaranteed. It is usually, as you say, pot luck!
I stayed in a TravelInn once, and due to lack of rooms we got upgraded to a family room with a balcony. But the balcony was locked, I guess because we’d paid normal price
Does the Travelodge even have sea views? I kinda presumed all the rooms would be facing 90 degrees from the sea. Even if you could see down to the sea, isn’t the Sandcastle in your way?!
