As an aside, Butlins Minehead was an absolutely amazing place for a holiday as a kid in the 1970s. It had this overhead monorail that wound its way through the camp and it really felt like you were spirited away to some kind of futuristic sci-fi land.

This picture from the Butlins in Minehead makes me think of "The Prisoner" but then so does Butlins generally. You'd think it would make you think of Hi-di-Hi but actually you'd need me at gunpoint to do that.

The real takeaway from this picture is that the woman using the cut down xylophone started out as a jazz theorist who referred to herself as the velvet spider.

'Butlin, observed the author Bill Bryson, had repackaged “the prisoner-of-war camp as holiday, and, this being Britain, people loved it.”'

Coming to Butlins was a huge part of my childhood. Great to come here for my little bro's 40th birthday for an adults only 80s weekend. Brings back lots of fun memories 😊 #Butlins #FamilyHolidays #80sKid
