Upside down head travels
Великобритания
Добавлен 20 янв 2024
Fylde coast born and bred.
My family used to run a small holiday shop and guest house in south shore back in the mid 80’s to just before the end of the 90’s
I have seen Blackpool go down hill for a long time, but over the last few years, post pandemic I have seen fresh green shoots coming up to try and improve the town and return it to its heyday.
Most of my videos will be of and the area, with a few from further afield. So aimed at those travelling to Blackpool to see its best and worst, but also those who want to spread their wings and see the world.
I hope you enjoy my channel and share it with your friends and family

The main season is over in Blackpool, but Christmas by the sea runs through till the first weekend of the next year. The town centre is busy, bringing people in. But the South Shore area has been forgotten about when the council have looked at what they can do to extend the season and make Blackpool a near all year round resort, they don't seem to look much past Central pier. #blackpool #rant #...

It was
300 million taken from taxpayers. blackpool is saved. ?
Looking for investors, and the money generated will be more than 300 million……if they get it right!!
@@Upsidedownheadtravels investors ? how can they be investors when there is no viable financial return ? the council are lying through their back teeth.
@ there will be some that will.
@@Upsidedownheadtravels there wont. what will happen is the council will arrange the finance for these investors, and they will be given sweetners, like discounts on other residential builds. the entire council is corrupt to the core.
@ think that’s the length and breadth of the country. If you have seen the area, you must agree it needs serious money spent on it. I just hope that residents in and around the area benefit in some way.
Don't eat in these places
Eleven quid for fish chips and green gunk. No way! This is exactly why Blackpool is failing. It's been 'Rip Off City' for decades, but this is taking the ....!
Yet if you go to Tower Fisheries, so much better and cheaper.
Brilliant that is so good to hear fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong must remain positive 😎😎. Will keep an eye out for your next video looking forward
Similar to ones from the Hot Dog Stand guys from the 80’s
The ones by the football grounds up and down the country? Probably the very same, food standards have changed a lot since then, which is why if they are the same from back in the 80’s, that is partially why it was so bad.
If the deal has gone bust they could hold a huge car boot sale in there for the summer also bring back The Bonny St Market with some rides for the kids also food stalls until something does happen, if they knock down the old multi storey car park also the old court police building they have a huge space for stalls etc in the meantime they could have it cleared for the summer, they could rent out the land and make a fortune.
Agree. That’s why I thought of a Boxpark. Easy to set up and dismantle when and if the deal is back up and running. I think the old police station will be there until they manage to get another company to restart the project
The price of takeout food now should be top quality
Unfortunately it depends on where you go, and their principles
100% yes Blackpool council don’t compound your mistake closing early two years before being given the first demolition start date which was then delayed now who knows when??? Two year lost business shame on you Blackpool council plus a lost attraction so yes totally agree with your vlog. 200%
Great video thanks, but I thought up north it was supposed to be cheap..
Everywhere is getting expensive, frightfully expensive
Crazy there pal we had to cancel our trip to Christmas by the sea on Saturday coz didn’t feel safe taking our kids there so we’re rearranging our trip very soon though
You did right. They had closed it. There were families taking their kids on the prom, didn’t quite understand that. I went, my choice, but I wouldn’t have taken my family. Still plenty of time to visit and enjoy without the bad weather.
@ yes can’t wait pal as long as it’s dry I’ll be happy
Thank you for braving this storm to bring us this awesome footage. I enjoyed every minute of your video 😍
Thank you. I have to say I was glad to get home for a drink afterwards .
Wow that's amazing power of storms and British weather in winter
Tell me about it. I nearly went over a few times 🤣
Above and beyond mate wind blown and sand blasted. All I can say is while enjoyable interesting video hope you remain fit and healthy take care 🤔🤔
Thanks. I layered up and stayed clear of the sea wall. It was an experience.
@@Upsidedownheadtravels what was those black things we saw them when getting on coach at 3pm to come home
@ Dune reeds
Shame it wasn't there idea! Back the original boy and the other lad loses!😢😮
This ain't no gimmik! You done this in summertime kernow you'd make a fortune!😂😅
I hope you mean Chris🤣
Competition? No, the owner is not competing with someone, from another town.
People travel from out of town to go to all 3.
Hi pal thanks for the update, I’ve never been to Blackpools Christmas by the sea but we’re visiting there very soon
You’ll enjoy the bar. Loads to eat, but I wouldn’t bother with the the Christmas loaded fries, unless you’re sharing
@ cheers pal I’ll have the wife and youngest 2 with me so definitely getting the food there and a couple cheeky drinks, so are the loaded fries big or expensive?
@@dazvlogs-j9t just better things to eat, but ok if you are splitting them as a snack.
@ thanks pal I appreciate the heads up 👍 I’m really hoping it’s gunna be dry there this weekend
Your shaking like a shitting dog pal 😟
maybe I'm uninformed, but, the South Shore has Pleasure Beach. so, if they choose to close because of a lack of customers why would they put a part-time theme park in?
Not necessarily rides , but more food vendors and bar. More like other Christmas markets. Spread out to more than just one area and improve footfall to an area that needs it. Long term, the area improves and numbers in the pleasure beach improve again.
Perhaps pleasure beach should be subsidised to be all year around even if the rides are closed it’s a big area but would be cheaper than having it closed and other vendors set up casually
@@grahamparkin2465 agree. There are a few areas that could open up for vendors. There are a lot of places all around the world that open up food courts that are hubs for great food, music and generally good times
Blackpool is stuck in the 70's, also the pleasure beach self expired itself with the QR code data harvesting 'app' to get on rides. Bring back free entry and either wristbands, tickets or pay per ride & it might make a comeback.
It's about time they sorted out was something to be proud of when I was a kid
What is needed?
Rubbish video
Rubbish comment 🤷♂️
All the food stalls on the prom are ran by them at the fish factory...check thier reviews before u eat anything
If you have seen my review of their Seaview chip shop, you are not going to hear any arguments from me. I didn’t think all the food stalls were ran by them, but all round coral island would be no surprise.
You rant . Blackpool needs some love . I live in Stoke-on-Trent. We visit when we can . Was always down most weekends in 1990s. We can all make Blackpool great again . Use it or lose it
Totally agree
No chance, everything has become so expensive in England, in the next few year's you will see mass redundancies and homelessness, the only shops left will be basic food stores
@@83dude I really hope you’re wrong….but time will tell.
It's just like every other town and city, get the money from the tourists and sod the locals
If they extended the Christmas by the sea, it would help the local businesses, not just the main shopping area. If you look when the fireworks are on, the whole prom is busy and all the shops get more customers. This is why I think it needs looking at.
You have compared south shore to central one amenity not being used and promoted, The pleasure beach resort along with piers south and central. As a visitor who down the years has come too Blackpool on many occasions at various times of year I have not been on the pleasure beach since the one price entry was introduced much better when free entry pay as you ride I for one used it frequently. Walk on the wild side put his finger on it when he compared both piers being busy and vibrant
I definitely agree with Walk On The Wild Side with the South and Central Piers. Free to enter, vibrant and fun. I’ve done a few vids on the piers, I do enjoy an afternoon on South Piers, especially during the airshow.
So that’s why I mentioned pleasure beach free entry also open hours need extending late nights as they always used spent many hours in there not anymore
@ also why I mentioned their arcade could open if some kind of extension of the Christmas by the sea was done in the car park opposite. Or, something I have just thought of, they could do a Christmas market in the first part of the park, but fence off the rest of the park. Free entry
5 pound for that slop
Mmmmmm yup🤬
Great vlog 😮
Thanks
Rancid - he wasn’t wearing gloves. If he thinks that looks good he clearly has never had a decent burger from anywhere in London
Aiming to come and try some of the markets soon. Where do you recommend?
Nice one fella - stay away from the tourist ones like borough market or Spitalfields . For the best smash burgers somewhere like Brixton village or loads of pop ups and amazing burger joints around Shoreditch station. Admittedly not cheap but well worth a visit. Love Blackpool but not for the food , you shouldn’t of eaten that mate
@ Shoreditch sounds good, not been for years.
Ha ha it’s not what it was - very artisan these days. Get yourself a delicious woke burger
Boxpark?
Looks awful 😢😮
Oh it was!
Blackpool is awful any time of the year.
Not a fan then?
looks great there i find this year its geting more expensive like the chrismas markets 😄
Unfortunately everything is getting more expensive. Higher business rates, wages and produce. I tried a small crumble, £6. Back to try more later.
Looks great 👍
Busy, just the right level of busy.
I'm a a local, I wouldnt eat anything from anywhere on the prom, properly disgusting.
Have you not tried the smashed burgers at the end of Trafalger Road?
@@Upsidedownheadtravels Not since the refit, they got rid of the really grotty caravan they had to the new one that looks like a shipping container. Everything on the prom is generally over priced and low quality, there may be exceptions but I wouldnt risk it. The food places near coral island were stacking bin bags full of rubbish and food on top of the cabin and going back in without washing hands and serving tourists.
@ I’ve tried a few, just to give my honest opinion. Most I would have stayed away from normally but since starting the channel earlier this year,I felt I had to do a selection. The ones near Coral Island, I can’t bring myself to review as I think I would end up in A&E at the Vic.
Top tip, don't buy a bottle of coke from "Cut Price Rock".. £2.80 !!
HOW MUCH !!
who’re you putting on mate this is a top chili cheeseburger I took the wife and my beautiful princess to grab one last night they both loved it I ended up diriging back later that night and getting two more for myself anyone who’s watching don’t trust this video listen instead to my comment it’s a top cheeseburger and even better with some chips
Ask for a pot of chilli sauce and get a normal cheeseburger. Save yourself some money. You might have a decent McDonald’s franchise near you, but the one I went to was poor. No heat in the jalapeños and minimal flavour in the chilli sauce. This is only my view, and maybe tainted on better experiences from other food establishments from around the U.K. and the world including other McDonald’s Glad you and your family enjoyed yours though. ATB
It's yuck, the so called chilli is cold,has no flavour, And texture of baby food, the only good burgers at McDonald's are the expensive one's £5 quid.
@@83dude agree
Hello again just want to say that my opinion has changed I went back again this past weekend for two chili cheeseburger and was cinsitpated the entire weekend I got angry at my son for annoying me because I was so constipated so I have to agree now that it isn’t a good burger and not worth it
Blurrrr bet it’s freezing was thinking of going b for dec to see the light av fish chips at that tower fish shop there the best love the vid stay warm 💯🇬🇧🌺Tracie’s vibes
Last couple of years it’s not been too bad, nice walk down the prom. Sneaky hot cider or rum. I do like Tower fisheries 😀
@ sound gud hot tottie with fish chips 💯🇬🇧🌺
‘Freshly cooked’ haha they’re frozen!
They were not sat there pre cooked.
Gutted I was looking forward to trying one pal and I haven’t heard anything good about them yet, thanks for an honest review 👍
Maybe as a hangover cure, but that is it.
@ haha ok pal next time I’m ruff and they’re still selling them I’ll let know if it’s worked I might need a couple though
@ 😂🤣
they are alright tbh, mcdonalds is a funny one because a lot of people will hate on it that never eat it, and thus join in when these new things are released crazy how many people on facebook will say they had one yesterday and it was the worst thing ever and in another comment talk about how they dont eat mcdonalds and have not touched it in years lmfao best thing to do is give it a go.. its a better double cheeseburger in my opinion. not sure what people were expecting
@ hi pal I’m not hating on McDonald’s I regularly go there, my only thing is coz there’s 5 of us at home it can get expensive so when new stuff is added I go off reviews so I’m not wasting money
yay ! congratulations
It's disgusting, ridiculously sweet
Can’t see them returning this to the menu any time soon.
McRib awful 😞. This awful 2.
Double Big Mac also awful
@ it’s the same reduction in size and quality in America 2. It’s all by design and engineered from the top down.
@ I’ve just had one in Hong Kong, and totally different. To be fair it wasn’t just a standard burger.
@@Redsnapper123 that is spot on we ultimately have the ceo of mcdonalds to blame for this shite
I've yet to see any good reviews on this lol. Its just their standard double cheeseburger with the sweet chilli sauce on it that they use on chicken wraps and some jalapenos. So other than jalapenos, you could make that custom anyway. They always look a mess too from all the sauce. The McDonald's near me always look much neater than the ones I've seen on here though
Pretty much spot on, get a double cheeseburger and ask for a pot of chilli sauce. The jalapeños had zero heat. The burgers are now not what they were.
but if its just a double cheese with those bits added why is it so horrible and why do people hate it so much? its alright but nothing special.. but that is mcdonalds all over. don't forget most people that moan about how bad mcdonalds is do not eat it so have invalid opinions
Hi pal I’d say it was definitely worth it 👍
Thats your usual kebab shop, pretending to be a fish and chip shop, no for me - look not the best either, and charged more than the advertised in the window, rip off kunts
Me and my friend got them from there it was nt wat I expected 3/10 the three was for the curry sauce lol never again gud vid keep them coming new subscriber we all av to support each other stay safe 🇬🇧💯🌺Tracies vibes 👍
