Ooh drove past The Big Blue Hotel yesterday . I’ve family who live on the outskirts of Blackpool whom I visit regularly.
It’s such a shame about Blackpool as they got knocked back a few yrs ago to turn the prom into casinos etc . As I recall the money went down south instead . It’s one of them places you always go to as a kid and visit the Pleasure Beach , go up the tower and then buy 5sticks of rock and a bag of laughing gas to bring home … oh the memories . It really is a tit HOLE these days, sad but true !
Spain over Blackpool .. really
PS , when it rains in Blackpool it’s vile & freezing
Yea I have fond memories as a child going to Blackpool, but last time I went I felt quite sad about how much the place has gone downhill. Also have many many good memories of nights out in Blackpool when I was younger, used to be such a great night out, staying in a cheap B&B. We took the kids to the illuminations every year when they were younger but wouldn’t go now. Im done with the freezing my tits off, wind and rain blowing in my face, the weather can be so brutal there. Im sure I read its one of the most deprived towns in the UK now with very high rates of unemployment and crime. Shame how these places go down hill. I certainly wouldn’t travel as far as she will have to. Id rather go to Brighton or somewhere along the South coast, Bournemouth, Southampton, probably same distance for her?
