Video Game Arcade Tours - Empire Amusements & Cheeky Monkeys Play Area (Mablethorpe, UK)
There isn't a nice way to say this but Empire Amusements & Cheeky Monkeys Play Area is pretty damn bad as far as amusement arcades go. There are ZERO video games and it's packed with 2p machines and fruit machines. If they had more money to put into this, we would probably see redemption-based ticket games rather than any kind of video games. It just seems like a place to throw the kids in while the adults gamble away the day.
Many of the arcades in the UK (Mainly seaside arcades) are called Amusement Arcades. They are typically packed with redemption-based machines with very few video games (As video games simply do not make money). I have placed the word Amusements in the title for these types of places as they are not true Video Game Arcades, but deserve some sort of mention. As gambling is legal in the UK, they tend to include fruit machines (aka slot machines) and various other things money-making games, so video games really take a back seat in places like these. They also really hate filming, I'm not sure why because it's free advertising, unless dodgy things are taking place lol

An amusement arcade (often referred to as video arcade or simply arcade) is a venue where people play arcade games such as video games, pinball machines, electro-mechanical games, redemption games, merchandisers (such as claw cranes), or coin-operated billiards or air hockey tables. In some countries, some types of arcades are also legally permitted to provide gambling machines such as slot machines or pachinko machines. Games are usually housed in cabinets. The term used for ancestors of these venues in the beginning of the 20th century was penny arcades.Video games were introduced in amusement arcades in the late 1970s and were most popular during the golden age of arcade video games, the early 1980s. Arcades became popular with children and particularly adolescents, which led parents to be concerned that video game playing might cause them to skip school.

Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge on the Monkey Dog Express - The Directors Cut
The AffieFilm crew take a trip from Hebden Bridge to Sowerby Bridge...why not come and join us for this little train ride..
We take a quick stroll in Hebden Bridge and then jump aboard a train heading for Sowberby Bridge....Then go for a walk around Sowerby, before heading back to Hebden..
One word of advice though..should you need the toilet.. HARD LUCK.. you cannot use the Jubilee Refreshment rooms toilets...!!!! At Sowerby Bridge, you are required to purchase something in order to get access to the toilets... train tickets are, apparently NOT a purchase !!
So , no choice then,you have to wait , until you can get on the train, considering you have already bought a rail ticket... not good customer relations for Sowerby Bridge....
