My mate worked in the bar at the Pwllheli site and we went down to visit him. A mate of his on security arranged to let us in and we slept on his chalet floor for the weekend.(it was like Stalag 13, but without the amenities). He told us the wages were pitiful, the hours long, but every week a new selection of girls would arrive for their hols and that was enough to keep him there for the summer season. Christ it was basic, for both the staff and maybe a little less so for the punters but in the mid to late sixties it was Billy's answer to the all inclusive(you had to pay for the beer but the grub was included ) Still got my Butlins metal badge and some itchy memories of that weekend. Laugh

Worked in Minehead camp for 3 summers. I'd recommend it for any youngster. Though you never see the jobs advertised in British papers nowadays.
  Great sense of community there, all in the same boat. And so many women from all parts of the country, it was heaven.
