    Blackpool to me is the quintessential British seaside town, with the piers and the amusement arcades and entertainment. It might be past its heydey but there still seemed to be a good amount of people around from what you showed in your video and an effort to keep it going with the illuminations and a new interactive museum.

      Thank you so much. Yes you're absolutely right, it doesn't get much more British seaside than Blackpool! It's still a fun place to stay. Cheers for watching 🍻

    Blackpool is great. It has very good shopping. The Winter Gardens, The Tower, It's just the best resort in the UK.

    Excellent Vlog, Seen some of your other vlogs ie North wales.
    As a child loved coming to Blackpool but as I got older I found “Orlando” not much Disney but the other parks they have over there and have been 14 times since 1995.
    I remember like you being able to go to Blackpool Funfair and just walking around but then you now have the entrance fee big put off and it’s also the reason we don’t visit Blackpool anymore.
    I can remember back in the early 2000’s there was a Show on Granada tv and one of the episodes was about Southport and the owners of Blackpool pleasure beach buying Southport Funfair. Southport Previous owners had upgraded Southport and am not Kidding they said it on the show “Blackpool made them a offer they couldn’t refuse” and all you got from the Family that owns Blackpool pleasure beach was how Southport was competition to Blackpool and Hay presto 6 months later they closed Southport Funfair.
    Keep up the great work 👍👍

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  6 дней назад +1

      Cheers for watching. When we went to Southport, we learnt that about the Pleasure beach. It's such a shame you can't just walk around now or buy one ride. We really enjoyed staying over this time and although it's run down in places, Blackpool still has a lot to offer. Cheers 🍻

    Wow..the pier looks like so much fun!
    Ouu...another Prime 1 pound burger! Always room for bugers!😂
    So great to hear your mom had a history at the shopping precinct.

    I love Blackpool, it's a real shame how it's suffered, realistically since Freddy Laker and his wonderful fight against B.A. There had to be fall out and seaside towns got hit big.
    I have stayed in that hotel many times aswell as lots of B&B's, happy memories. I phoned my dad (R.I.P.) from a red public phone box from the top of the tower. I said, "I bet that you can't guess where I am phoning you from?", his answer " the top of Blackpool Tower?"; he didn't even know that I was in Blackpool 😮.
    Like deployed 👍

    An amazing video from you two, I expect no less! :D Loving the look of Blackpool, I cant believe it was voted 'The Worst' the papers and the news always have to really doom and gloom some of these wonderful locations and it really is what you make of it! Blackpool looks so fun, plenty to see, enjoy and experience. Some of the best holidays are those spent enjoying a proper British holiday! Those doughnuts and whippy looked yum! This was so fun to see around South Pier and the tower! A very epic video on Blackpool, this was super fun to watch, a place to visit for sure!!!

    • @PostcardAndAPint

    This was a delight to watch guys! Loads of fun from start to finish, a proper trip to the seaside, loved it! We are going to put it out there and agree, Blackpool gets such a bad press, but it will always have a special place in our hearts too. We think it is that nostalgic connection. I (Shell) was taken there a lot as a kid with my twin sister, by my mum and my auntie Helen. I can still remember how exciting it was being on the sea front after dark watching the illuminations. Or in the fairground. Happy memories, I'll always love it for that. Later, Pete and i also did the same as you guys for cheeky overnight stays when we first started dating, a LONG time ago!😂. Totally agree, Blackpool is what you make it, and as usual, you two make it loads of fun 🎉😊👌. The tower tour was fabulous, and pretty good value for money too, views were ace! Oh my goodness, Chris Higgitt is hilarious! Does he ever come up for air?😂. Those burgers didn't look too bad to be fair, wonder if he does a veggie option? Probably just the onions 😂🍔. Omg, hot doughnuts with mr whippy ice cream, where have they been all our lives?! 😋🍩🍦. Junk food has to be done at the seaside, it is the law! Shakin Stevens and Christmas trees in November? that was Wills dream hotel!😂 🕺👌. We were rooting for you finding your mum in the museum Rach, maybe if you do go back to have a look in the archives🤞. Lovely pics 🥰 🙏. Ok, i (Shell) thought i was the only one who sang the Orville song out loud when i saw him, but then wills did it too 😂😂🐥👊. Oh, speaking of magical creatures, we think your 2p falls prize might have been a niffler Rach, from fantastic beasts, cool!🤩 🥇. Views are creeping up, this one deserves to blow up, huge like from us guys.
    Have a great week ahead,
    Shell and Pete 😊👊👍

      Cheers guys, yep Blackpool will always have a special place in our hearts. Ok, if you rock up expecting the ritz and a spa town, you're not going to like it. Were so glad we stayed over, we haven't done that for years and it was great to experience the town at night. Ah a Niffler! I saw those in the Harry Potter forest when it was over here! Thanks for the heads up. Got donuts and Whippy is where it's at for sure! The £1 burgers were good and no I don't think. Chris Higgit does come up for air, but the donuts were amazing. Cheers for watching and have a great week 🍻

  • @HereToCheers
    @HereToCheers 6 дней назад +1

    That £1 burger might just be the bargain of the century! Wills as a pirate and Rachel with donuts… Blackpool truly brings out the best in people! 🏴‍☠🍩The illuminations look magical. The history of Blackpool Illuminations is fascinating. Artificial sunshine in 1879 🤔the Showtown Museum seems like such a hidden gem in Blackpool! You’ve made Blackpool sound like the perfect mix of fun and nostalgia. Keep doing what you do! 🥂I love how you capture both the charm and struggles of Blackpool. Your honesty makes this such a refreshing watch!

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  6 дней назад

    Burgers for a quid, shakin' Stevens, fart machines, freakin' donuts and ice cream! I'd call that the best weekend ever. I haven't seen a burger for 2 bucks (1 pound) since... I dunno... when I was kid. Except Maccas. They have 2 buck burger special and, yeah, yours looks heaps better. I might have splurged and had two. I'd still fit in the donuts though.
    Good to see a pier again. How long has it been seen you've done a pier video?
    Look, I love a good serve of cholesterol, heart attack and diabetes as much as anyone but seriously a full English must come with some sort NHS voucher surely?
    Lovely photos of your mum Rach 😍

    • @PostcardAndAPint
      @PostcardAndAPint  6 дней назад +1

      Hahah cheers Shane. Yep it's grease and sugar all the way in Blackpool. To be fair, both burgers were pretty good, the donuts took the prize though! You've gotta love a full English! Sets you up for the day when the weather is pants! - like now - it's snowing! Yep all in all a great weekend. Cheers 🍻

    All these big British seaside towns have had their day sadly but I find that part of the charm. We haven't been to Blackpool this year but usually try and fit a visit in. The new museum looked great.
    I reckon Chris Higgit must be the third most visited location by youtubers after the pleasure beach and the tower 😂
    I can't believe you crammed so much into one weekend. Great video, guys.

    👍14 some cracking drone shots of Blackpool, yay it’s Xmas already at the Lyndene! Mmm, love those seaside smells, always make me hungry. Chris is a character, his banter is worth more than a £1! Still not tried one of those famous burgers! Shame about the change to Pleasure Beach admission. Well if it’s good enough for Macmaster it’s good enough for us all! Good recommendation. Ah love the old Carousel. Cracking shots from the top of the Tower. Never tire of the illuminations. Fingers crossed for the Shakin Stevens tribute. Sorted. Rude awakening but a nice looking breakfast. Great Punch and Judy Wills! Great fun in there! The 2p falls were always going to feature. Benidorm in the rain, thats a good analogy! Great shots of the carpet. Cracking video, still good in the 80s and 90s to be fair!

Love the illuminations and without those Si would be less arsed about our Leccy bill - “this isn’t Blackpool illuminations you know” 😂.. Blackpool hotel life … there’s nothing like it .. anywhere we reckon .. A Blackpool holiday is an institution and the Museum certainly celebrates that ! Glad you celebrated Rach’s Mum in this video - Good vibes to do that. Enjoyed this Guys ! Thank you

    But also walking on the beach, always has its charm. Thanks for making me discover this city, guys, I didn't know it. It's a shame that it is so poorly regarded!

    @craigdaly5111 7 дней назад +2

    I’m a regular visitor and can’t agree. It’s a town that’s retained its identity, yes it’s had its struggles like many seaside towns continues, but it’s also trying hard to bring itself up. New buildings transport improvements which really weren’t that needed but shows the effort they’re making. Also in general northern people are friendly. I’ve always had a great time visiting there yes the bars late at night add drink and humans and well that’s every town to be fair. There’s hardship here too, employment is seasonal and heavily reliant on visitors. Hopefully they have a long term plan to address this issue. But I’m a vote yes for Blackpool!

    Geee! The last time I was in Blackpool, was in the summer of 1963! I was 8 years old. It were nowt like what's in this video. Mum and Dad put me on a donkey on the beach. Went up the tower, and saw the sea from that height. Never been back. I hear the place is a Hen Party mecca today. Once a bucket and spade place. Arrived on a steam engine train. It used to be a political conference town, I hear. The Victorians made it great. Today, it's a museum. Not a nice place anymore. Wales is MUCH BETTER!

    One thing I noticed about your videos is it’s almost always overcast. How much overcast do you get out of 365 days a year?

    Hey Wills, I can’t access mu Patrion account anymore because it relies on my email which I no longer have access to either so I cannot comment on it anymore but I’ll keep my subscription anyway. Just letting you know so when you don’t hear from me you’ll know why.

    To make the burger better, you need to lightly toast the bun. Just my opinion

      “Black pool looks better at night” it honestly looks like a lovely place, and I think the people who called it the worst are just haters.

    Never buy them ring doughnuts from the ones that have them on the units on show. I've witnessed pigeons eating them and they still sell them on to customers
