BREAKFAST IN BENIDORM

BY KEN BIRCH

THE TEASER

It was December 1976, while most sensible families were settling down for a quiet British Christmas, the Birch family were preparing for a holiday to sunny Spain, starting, of course, with a light spot of pre-trip home decorating. What could possibly go wrong? - Everything.

Before they even reached the tarmac at Luton Airport, luggage was flying, tempers were fraying, and a casual stumble turned into an full-blown wardrobe catastrophe. Then came the flight, thirty thousand feet in the air framed by severe turbulence and airborne coffee and panic-stricken passengers wondering if they'd ever touch solid ground again.

Welcome to Benidorm 1976 - the hotel Flemington, a slightly worn budget paradise complete with a smiling manager peeling paint and a front desk that promised pure luxury but delivered pure survival.

Dining was an adventure in itself, between heated arguments with the head waiter, broken lifts, and mysterious local dishes that left guests recoiling in sheer horror. Even evening entertainment had its hazards. From rigid ballroom dancing to rogue toupees lying stranded on the dance floor, nobody dared to break character.

Packed with black comedy, heart attacks, and an unforgettable cast of holiday makers, step back to the Christmas holiday from Hell, Breakfast in Benidorm by Ken Birch, available now from most major bookstores and online.

Ken Birch delivers a brilliant piece of literature that highlights the absolute funniest parts of human misfortune. Watching this family trip turn into a series of funerals and medical emergencies while dealing with inedible food was pure entertainment. It’s an authentic first-person look at a vacation that nobody could ever predict. This is a definite must-buy!
