There seems to be a lot more emphasis on the Red Coats being able to sing, dance and entertain rather than just simply walking around being pleasant.

What can I say about Butlins??? Welll I use to work as a sales assistant for the Bognor Regis Butlins way back in 2002 and although it was a seasonal job I really enjoyed it.

I worked in the skyline pavillion either in the gift shop, sweet shop,Joke shop or on the sand stall. This made my job here more interesting as I would usually be doing something different everyday so it never got boring for ...
