I'll have you know that they DO pride themselves on having wax-works that look as far away from the real people as possible, whilst still enableing you to guess who they are supposed to be!!!

Anyway it's something for the other half to do whilst your on that track day at Snett

Is that big (I remember it as big) blue round rollercoaster still there? I went on that every year for about 5 years on trips to the seaside, horrible thing!

The Ian Botham waxworks behind Michael Owne

Looks a bit like Lord Lucan or maybe the biker from the Village People. Or is it a reused waxworks of Darryl Hannah with a moustache?

Whilst the Waxworks might not be on my list of things to do their is a good indoor Kart track in Gt Yarmouth.

The Pleasuer beach is always good if you like watching fatties from Bolton blowing their money.

Which one is it, I seem to remember 2 waxworks. One on the corner of the main shopping street and one half way down in a white building?

Or are they both a bit special?

I seem to remember reading somewhere that they actually won an award for having the worst wax works museum recently I believe. Its become a cult type of attraction now.

From what I understand, the half used candles in my fireplace look more celebrity-like than the cr@p on offer in Yarmouth.
