No! No! No you couldn't make it up
I had a fantastic time in Scarborough with my beloved husband, Billy, we had a WoWcher for a 3 course meal, bed and breakfast and were pleasantly surprised with a free bottle of Pinot Grigio with our meal. There was however, ONE blot on the landscape.
On Monday afternoon, we went to the hotel pool for a swim, the water was lovely and warm and relaxing, we had the pool to ourselves great you think, so did we until the fire alarm went off and we had to evacuate the building, it's a good job we always take our flip flops with us isn't it?
When we emerged from the bowels of the hotel to the main entrance without seeing a soul, it was a bit eerie, but then, through the double wide open front doors of the establishment, we saw a whole bunch of staff and guests across the road waiting for the all clear, all eyes were on the two of us in a both wrapped up in towels that could have done with being much larger, we were shivering, wet and cold, it is soooo windy near the sea.

You can believe it was an ice breaker ha ha. A member of staff gave us a load of silver "blankets" to wrap up in, sadly there was a battle with the wind and the won, it was playing kites with the blankets so we didn't feel the benefit of them. 
We had a happy ending though, because on returning to the hotel we got fresh, warm, dry towels and went straight back into the warm and welcoming water for a good 45 minutes.

In all the hotels we have stayed at in fifteen years, we have never so much as heard a fire alarm, never mind have an evacuation....... let's hope it never happens again eh?
