At a guess, the reason for their lack of amazingness is the dearth of young people in seaside towns.

Richard, I do believe that Frinton council have reneged on their ruling about pubs in the town. But this is the whole point. So Frinton is genteel, but it doesn't matter how genteel inland towns are, they still have pubs. Why should seaside towns be, or have ever been different?

Seaside towns, in my view, have their fair share of good pubs. The good ones tend to be a little way away from the beaten tourist paths, it's true, but then the same thing is true of pubs in London or anywhere else which deals with high volumes of tourists.
Anyone who survived as far as Rupert St on Trig Brother will have been subjected to me describing how the BEST PUB EVER was in a seaside town (as well as always being in the past).

It's Medway, not seaside, in nakhchivan's dreaded north Kent, but I did just get a text from a friend -
In the Vigo Inn in Vigo. The only surviving Dadlums table, featured in my 40-year-old book of British pub games, is still here in the bar!
History of the Vigo Inn.

aptly enough i was reading about galicia on wikipedia yesterday after reading 'roads to santiago' and being intrigued by this rainy and distant land, replete with deep valleys extending off of the plateau.....the more sedate ria de vigo compensates by featuring some neat scalextric roads
