I prefer Harrogate to Stone, every time. Or should I say, 'preferred'.
The meals were always of a high standard, and the nightlife in Harrogate was fantastic. Alas, as with all things cutbacks have turned this place into all but a shell. I believe it's earmarked for complete closure (just rumour I hasten to add), as most training is now driven locally. IE- The trainer comes to you as opposed to the other way around.
They may close the training school, but they'll never take my memories of 'Gyrating Geoffrey'. Anyone who frequented Harrogate in the 80's and 90' should know who I'm talking about ??. The oldest swinger in town bar none.
Was always busy in the town centre, as there was an Army training barracks there, a Police training school, and of course us plebs. He he he, I'm smiling whilst I type this thinking of the craic we used to have. Cheers Colin for stirring great memories.
