There is a Butlins in Skegness, which like Filey is in the north of England, though. The two southern Butlins - the only other two left - are in Maidstone and Bognor Regis.

I think you mean Minehead not Maidstone, think its pushing it to describe Skegness as the North England. The point was Maidstone is closer to being equidistant between the Bognor and Skegness branches, allowing Mulhern to undertake his summer red coat job. Adding Filey would have made that calculation a little bit more difficult.

Having said all that Minehead itself isn’t that much further away to Maidstone than Skegness.
