Sh*thole.

My arse.

Ahh bladdy love Blackpool...well not been there since  over 12 years ago,We had great holidays there,I got toasted there in the hottest summer ever 1976  .It was 90 degrees for a fortnight!  :Loved the pleasure beach and being daft.One of my nieces was there last week and had a great time..Can't be doing with holiday snobs that look down on it,

Me too katty  

I've never been. The closest I got was in a small Scottish campsite 1992 about 10pm, no pitch, but FTF, went into the clubhouse for food and ended up playing Mr & Mrs. Surreal, but fundabbydosey.

Good staging post.

*gets coat* 

My fambley loves Blackpool. The pleasure beach especially.

Bob ward's physio clinic, just round the corner from the big roller coaster- BEST back man in the country, we drive 2 hours if we need adjusting and he's worth every mile travelled, my back's never been so good!!!

Never been but two of my sons have on their way back from the Lake District with their grandparents. They said it was awful, full of fat people who were all stuffing their faces.

From what i've seen of it on TV and that, it looks like the sort of place I'd hate, too commercial...like Great Yarmouth....have been there and that is one great shithole that only a nuke could cure!

Blackpool - what a dreadful place.   I cannot imagine why anyone would want to go on holiday there

I read that as Bob Ward's psycho clinic - sorry, Sweet.
I have never been to Blackpool.

love blackpool...once i went with my pal for a girly weekend we went to funny girls and this guy in there thought we were part of the act.
mind you i had a pink wig n my friend had a red one .. but even so

Well, give me a few years and I'll probs be visiting one of those too lol

I have to agree with you there, I only went the one time :-~

Fresh Air and Fun.

Never been, but I tend to head south for my fun.

you're not far off really Tack as far as the eye can see

One can do that in Blackpool too. It's noted for it.

Fresh air and fun?  I would rather poke red hot irons into my eyes

went a few years ago for a conference at the hilton - not too bad just a bit tacky, great yarmouth is ok - loved yeaterday world

 Do I need to go to Bob's clinic?

Havent been to blackpool in about 10 years but its funny! I love it! Id like to go to a tacky weekend (in a nice hotel thought) there

Yes indeed! As Bowie himself would have it, should some mellow thighed person put your spine out of place then head straight for Bob's clinic.

I think I would chose the Fresh air and fun, Bob's  clinic, and  "Kiss me quick!" headwear, me.

It has been 40 years since I have been to blackpool loved it then I am not sure I would feel the same way now though ..

My other half and I went there a few months ago.One of the best nights out we have ever had. We stayed at the North end and only went into Blackpool for the show. We will be doing it again next year. 

last time I went to Blackpool I was 16.  I wanted to go on the mad mouse but the guy said I was smaller than the mouse that they used to measure your height so he wouldn't let me on it   I've never been back 

Did the very same thing as you, Sezit.
Got invited years ago to the opening of the then new ride - some sort of bobsleigh thing with the GB bobsleigh team in attendance....which shows just how long ago it was as the ride is no longer there.   Then we all piled on and gave out a few screams to indicate it was fun when it was actually quite tame.  I much preferred the old wooden Grand National ride.
Stayed at The Imperial (tram ride back along the seafront), where a load of politicians were bunkering down for their party conference at the time, and ended up in a lift with Peter Shore & Dennis Healey

 Try a weekend in Lytham next door Yogi and visit Southport 

 Recommended and not too far  

Hubby has been trying to persuade me to go for years - so I might give in, for once.

You won't be dissappointed  

Lot's of nice shops too  

You are selling it to me.

I agree Katty. We used to always go down September weekend when I was young.

Still love it - me and my other half were then in July in fact.

I love the nostalgia - it's a bit run down but it's great to see them trying to revamp the seafront at least.

Nostalgia  

Spot on Miss S.

I just have great memories of the place, velvet. Always will.

Brilliant view from the top of the tower,

Mr Fluffy Thing and me stayed at the Claremont, which is north of the North Pier, almost not in Blackpool at all, but there are plenty of trams to everywhere.
