Pontins don’t want any “undesirable guests” staying at their family holiday parks. The instructions sent to booking agents (and passed to the press by a whistleblower) include a list of forty “undesirable” names. Boylan, Boyle, Carney, Carr, Cash, Connors, Corcoran, Delaney, Doherty, Doran, Gallagher, Horan, Keefe, Kell, Leahy, Lee, Maclaughlin, McAlwick, McCully, McDonagh, McGinley, McGinn, McGuiness, McHarg, McLaughan, McMahon, Milligan, Mongans, Murphy, Nolan, O’Brien, O’Connell, O’Donnell, O’Donoghue, O’Mahoney, O’Reilly, Sheridan, Stokes, Walsh, Ward.
Looking for alternative holiday accommodation would be the vice captain of the England cricket team, my housemaster at Uppingham School, one of the Goons, the former CEO of Tesco, half a dozen comedians, two winners of the men’s singles title at Wimbledon, the brewers of the other Irish stout and a quartet of musical sisters. The biggest surprise, for me, was learning that Pontins holiday camps still exist.
