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 🍻
OMG - you're Walk With Me Tim - RUclips Legend!!! Sorry fan girling a bit here! Thank you so much - A for visiting our channel and B for leaving such a lovely comment. We've been following you since you started in Covid times. I think we started our channel a year after you (you've done infinitely better than us! 🤣). Thank you again and a massive Cheers 🍻
It has such a special place in our hearts. The new Show Town museum was so cool, loved that and to finally go up the tower was amazing! Cheers for watching 🍻
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 👍👍
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 🍻
Oh how we love seeing Christmas!😊 even in November! Whoa..a 1 pound burger?😮 Love that dude! So full of positive energy!😁 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. This was a fantastic tour, guys! Always enjoyable! We truly thank you for sharing!🤗
Thanks so much for watching, yep you can't beat a £1 burger - or two! It must have been a real wonder back in Victorian times for sure. They piers still have their charm, but sadly a lot of it is in decline these days. Cheers 🍻
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!!!
Thank you so much. It was a lovely 24 hours and I'm glad we stayed over. Yes it's shabby, but we do love it there. These lists on the papers mean nothing to us. If you enjoy a place - go there! Cheers for watching 🍻
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 🍻
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!
Thank you so much. Yep a £1 burger is a steal right??? Those donuts were amazing too. We loved the Show Town museum and hope it does really well. It's so well thought out. Cheers for watching 🍻
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 😍
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 🍻
Well done. Your production quality is bang on, I was impressed. Blackpool - I live not so far away, I often walk the dog from the north pier to Fleetwood. The beach and prom are good (also for cycling) just avoid the back streets.
Thank you so much. We love making videos and we love Blackpool. You can't beat a walk down the front. Blackpool still has so much to offer. Here's hoping for more investment in the town. Cheers 🍻
Ok we want you to bring us to Blackpool next visit! It looks like a fun trip back in time and a pound burger can’t beat that!! Rache your mom was just stunning! You must feel connected to her when you visit. Wills cracking us up as usual. Outstanding video guys!!! 👏👏~Cara
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers ah thanks both. Were glad you got home safely! I bet you're shattered! We miss you alteady. Thanks for watching and Blackpool it is next time!! X🍻
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.
Cheers Andy, yes it's sad to see the deterioration, but like you said, it's part of the charm! Chris Higgit is fast becoming a Blackpool treasure!! We walked for miles over the 24 hours we were there, but we love it. Cheers 🍻
Thanks so much for watching guys. There's still so much for people to do and see, but it does have a lot of shabby buildings these days, it's sad. Cheers 🍻
👍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!
Cheers guys, it was a really fun overnight break. We usually drive home, but we're so glad we got to experience Blackpool by night (well until we had to go to bed at 11 - being the grannies we are!!) - it's sad to see how it's declined, but it still has its own specialty charm and the new show town museum is a brilliant addition. Cheers 🍻
I have never been to Blackpool but there's so many things I want to do there - shame Pleasure Beach has changed its pricing structure but also want to visit Blackpool Zoo and of course the piers and illuminations. The views from the tower looks fab. It looks like you had a fab day or two.
Thank you so much. Yes, there is loads more to Blackpool and we must go back and do some of the 'away from the prom' things. You shouldn't definitely pay a visit. Cheers for watching 🍻
This is a big food fest and loving all the food reviews .. And Blackpool still has the Great British Seaside charm despite it becoming more and more run down … Still you made it a fun adventure - Gosh they’ve modernised the Tower experience !! 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
Haha my mum and dad always said that at home if you left a light on!!! Cheers for watching. We loved our little visit. Ok it wasn't the healthiest of visits, but you've got to sample the local delicacies!! First time up the tower for us two, so we didn't know any different. Cheers for watching and have a great week 🍻
I smiled at your comment about Blackpool looking better at night, thanks to all the lights. Years ago I made the same comment on my first (and only!) visit to Las Vegas, I thought it looked quite rundown during the day, it looked much better at night!
Wowsers. Soooo much to see and do. We have never been but it is on the list now. £1 burgers and tower trips what’s not to like. Well apart from the pleasure beach prices. 😮. A thoroughly enjoyable watch as always guys. Brilliant. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Great video as always brings back great memories of being young and having weekends away in Blackpool where anything goes next time you there? You must visit funny girls a fantastic night out All the best Paul &Paul
Hello, Rach and Wills! Oh, first of all, how nice to know a little more about your wonderful mother. An artist, a dancer! Amazing... Oh, I have to say that I find Blackpool very interesting, certainly with a nostalgic charm but really charming and fascinating. And there are so many things to do! Climb the Tower, for example. Very beautiful, like the Museum, interactive and fun. 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! My biggest embrace and like, as always. Happy week! Renata
Thank you Renata. Yes Blackpool was once quite the place! To be fair it still is, it's just a shame that some of the building now are so shabby. We had a wonderful time as always and we're glad we stayed over and got to experience that too. Yes, my mum performed many times in Blackpool, we have a fair few photos of her times there. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful week. Cheers 🍻
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!
I went this weekend and it was lovely, like yeah I wish the government would put more money into it but the people are lovely and there's so much to do
We're glad you share our views! It doesn't matter what the papers say, if you love somewhere, g there. We always have a good time in Blackpool and we're so glad we stayed over this time to experience both the accommodation and the evening (I would say night but we were in bed by 11 - too much sea air and walking!). The new Show Town museum is amazing and a big positive in our opinion. Cheers for watching 🍻
Blackpool is a great place , I think these fools that slag it off are retards , will be living there soon , mine up for sale now and moving BP in 3 months
Mrs Millionaire refuses to go to Blackpool - wondering now if I can tempt her there with Mr Whippy ice cream! 😅😅😅. Full watch today. Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👋
As a resident of Blackpool. I do care for my home town, yes we have our problems, but what town doesn't and theirs a lot of worst places to live in the UK. People just want to hate on Blackpool because it's easy.
We love Blackpool, it has such a special place in our hearts. We love to prove these 'lists' dreamed up by the media wrong. There is good and bad everywhere as you said. Cheers for watching 🍻
Wow! "The Worst Seaside Town in the UK" Very interesting and impressive video, my new friend! The city is filled with Christmas spirit! Thank you for sharing this interesting video with us, my new friend! Hello! Greetings from 100tour KOREA! Nice to meet you, my new friend! See you again! Have a great day!
Blackpool my hometown , like where where else it has its good sides and bad , sadly you missing stanley park , model village .blackpool is more than the prom
Thank you so much for watching. We have such a soft spot for Blackpool, there is always something to do. We love the new museum Show Town. Duly noted about Stanley Park and the model village and we will make sure we cover those on a future trip to Blackpool. Cheers 🍻
Love Blackpool we go twice a year but I do agree one street back you see the wrecked houses and broken down flats but for a fun 2 days just make sure if you take the kids you bring a full wallet lol
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!
Sounds like the days we had in Blackpool (or Rhyl!!). It wasn't too Hen party ish this weekend, but yes, it is shabby in places these days .cheers for watching 🍻
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.
Cheers for watching, it's a fun place - horse poop and all. Our media loves to list the 'worst' places - they're never as bad as made out and there's so much to do in Blackpool. Cheers for watching 🍻
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
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.

just came across your video, It's brilliant! thought i was watching a show on channel 5 ;-)

We've been following you since you started in Covid times. I think we started our channel a year after you (you've done infinitely better than us! 🤣). Thank you again and a massive Cheers 🍻
High praise indeed from a YT legend! Well deserved! N&Nx
Blackpool is great. It has very good shopping. The Winter Gardens, The Tower, It's just the best resort in the UK.
It has such a special place in our hearts. The new Show Town museum was so cool, loved that and to finally go up the tower was amazing! Cheers for watching 🍻

Whoa..a 1 pound burger?😮
Love that dude! So full of positive energy!😁
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.
This was a fantastic tour, guys!
Always enjoyable!
We truly thank you for sharing!🤗
Thanks so much for watching, yep you can't beat a £1 burger - or two! It must have been a real wonder back in Victorian times for sure. They piers still have their charm, but sadly a lot of it is in decline these days. Cheers 🍻

She certainly was. She toured a lot of Italy with an opera company and a lot of the U.K. in various shows. 🍻

The guy selling burgers was my favourite! Love the amazing shout out!🎉
He's a Blackpool and RUclips legend!!! 🍻
How fun that you can remember your mum in her heyday every time you visit Blackpool, Rach!❤❤❤
We have a lot of photos from her Summer Seasons there, so I'm always looking at the old photos when we're there. Cheers 🍻
Well done. Your production quality is bang on, I was impressed.

Wowsers. Soooo much to see and do. We have never been but it is on the list now. £1 burgers and tower trips what’s not to like. Well apart from the pleasure beach prices. 😮. A thoroughly enjoyable watch as always guys. Brilliant. 👍🏻🚶🏻♂️🚶♀️
Thanks guys. We'd love to see you two do Blackpool! You can't beat a £1 burger!! Cheers 🍻
Great video as always brings back great memories of being young and having weekends away in Blackpool where anything goes next time you there? You must visit funny girls a fantastic night out All the best Paul &Paul
Thanks guys. Yes, we do need to visit Funny Girls, a friend of mine works there and we'd love to see the show. Next time!! Cheers 🍻
I loved your commentary about the evening entertainment
I was thrilled by a Shakin Steven's tribute!!
Hello, Rach and Wills! Oh, first of all, how nice to know a little more about your wonderful mother. An artist, a dancer! Amazing...
Oh, I have to say that I find Blackpool very interesting, certainly with a nostalgic charm but really charming and fascinating. And there are so many things to do! Climb the Tower, for example. Very beautiful, like the Museum, interactive and fun.
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!
My biggest embrace and like, as always. Happy week! Renata
Thank you Renata. Yes Blackpool was once quite the place! To be fair it still is, it's just a shame that some of the building now are so shabby. We had a wonderful time as always and we're glad we stayed over and got to experience that too. Yes, my mum performed many times in Blackpool, we have a fair few photos of her times there. Thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful week. Cheers 🍻
@PostcardAndAPint Ciao!! Yes, shame for the buildings...
Have a great time and, Wills, Christmas is not far...😉😉
Loved this one for sure 😊
Thank you so much. We do have a soft spot for Blackpool. Cheers 🍻
I feel that any seaside town is a treat to see and enjoy! Lots to see and do, but it would be the beach for me...that would be my happy place.
Thank you. The beach is great at Blackpool, it's massive! Cheers for watching 🍻
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!
I went this weekend and it was lovely, like yeah I wish the government would put more money into it but the people are lovely and there's so much to do
We're glad you share our views! It doesn't matter what the papers say, if you love somewhere, g there. We always have a good time in Blackpool and we're so glad we stayed over this time to experience both the accommodation and the evening (I would say night but we were in bed by 11 - too much sea air and walking!). The new Show Town museum is amazing and a big positive in our opinion. Cheers for watching 🍻
Blackpool is a great place , I think these fools that slag it off are retards , will be living there soon , mine up for sale now and moving BP in 3 months
Mrs Millionaire refuses to go to Blackpool - wondering now if I can tempt her there with Mr Whippy ice cream! 😅😅😅. Full watch today. Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul 👋
Tell Mrs Millionaire she's missing out! That whippy ice cream is worth a visit on its own! Cheers 🍻
120 meters high on a glass platform. They have that in Chicago but it’s 518 meters in a glass booth looking down. It’s the Sears Tower.
Yep! But didn't victorians build Sears tower???? 😜🤣
Great review.
Thank you so much 🍻
As a resident of Blackpool. I do care for my home town, yes we have our problems, but what town doesn't and theirs a lot of worst places to live in the UK. People just want to hate on Blackpool because it's easy.
We love Blackpool, it has such a special place in our hearts. We love to prove these 'lists' dreamed up by the media wrong. There is good and bad everywhere as you said. Cheers for watching 🍻
Very informative video.
Thank you so much. 🍻
Thanks!
Ken, thank you so much. That's so kind. 🍻
Wow! "The Worst Seaside Town in the UK" Very interesting and impressive video, my new friend! The city is filled with Christmas spirit! Thank you for sharing this interesting video with us, my new friend! Hello! Greetings from 100tour KOREA! Nice to meet you, my new friend! See you again! Have a great day!
Thank you so much for watching it does get a bad rap, but there's still plenty there for everyone. Cheers for watching 🍻
Always have a great time at Blackpool..
It's a fun town isn't it. Cheers for watching 🍻
I love how they light it up to make it look festival.
The illuminations are so famous. People travel far and wide to see them. Cheers for watching 🍻
It's hilarious how you couldn't understand a word Wills was saying with his mouth full of doughnut and whippy ice cream😂
Bad manners that boy, talking with his mouth full!!
well its not a bad seaside town lots going on there I see
*🌞have a cool week🔆👍like☑full view✅🥸Au🦘*
Yes, there's plenty going on for sure. Cheers for watching 🍻
Blackpool my hometown , like where where else it has its good sides and bad , sadly you missing stanley park , model village .blackpool is more than the prom
Thank you so much for watching. We have such a soft spot for Blackpool, there is always something to do. We love the new museum Show Town. Duly noted about Stanley Park and the model village and we will make sure we cover those on a future trip to Blackpool. Cheers 🍻
Love Blackpool we go twice a year but I do agree one street back you see the wrecked houses and broken down flats but for a fun 2 days just make sure if you take the kids you bring a full wallet lol
That's brilliant. We love it too. Always a fun time to be had. Cheers 🍻
I absolutely want to visit the Cod Father shop. Fish store I take it?
Fish n Chips!!! They also have the Cod Mother! 🍻
I haven't been to Blackpool in years!! Is the circus still going? N&Nx
It is!! We were there the end of half term and it was their last shows of the season. Cheers 🍻
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!
Sounds like the days we had in Blackpool (or Rhyl!!). It wasn't too Hen party ish this weekend, but yes, it is shabby in places these days .cheers for watching 🍻
Blackpool is great, for visit or a night stay.
It really is. We enjoyed staying over this time. Cheers 🍻
we stayed there some years ago...hasn't changed 🤣
It's like a comfy pair of slippers!!! Cheers for watching 🍻
Chris higgits burgers gave 2 people I know the worst food poisoning they’ve ever had… I wouldn’t recommend seeking it out 😂
Really! Ours tasted great and we were fine! Can't complain for £1! Cheers for watching 🍻
Aww. Wendy ❤❤
I know! I always look for her there! 🍻
He wasn't with Kieth Harris was he 😮 (Orville)?😅
Edit: Keith
Didn't see him!! 🤣
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?
i can answer for them - about 364 😂
What he said!!! ⬆️
To lost love ones, mine will be making the music whilst your's will be dancing to it and encouraging all to a better time, 🍻 🫂💙
Ah cheers Jock that's lovely. ❤️
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.
Ah Ken, thanks so much. We’ll email all Patreon stuff to your new email. You can’t get rid of us that easily haha. Cheers mate!
No worries at all Ken and thanks as always for your support. I think Wills sent you an email - we'll send you stuff that way to the new email. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint thanks Rach. You’re so sweet, I never did believe all that stuff Wills said about you.
@ 🤣
To make the burger better, you need to lightly toast the bun. Just my opinion
You're not wrong! Too way to enjoy a burger. 🍻
Wills, you did not just call ketchup tomato sauce! I'm triggered 😮
It's tomato sauce!!
@@PostcardAndAPint 😡😡😡
Blackpool’s number one daddy? Hilarious
🤣🤣
Worst seaside town in England? It looks nice to me.
It's sad how run down it's become, but it still has plenty to offer! Cheers 🍻
I should not be watching this with Ian.... he has a very bad attitude towards Blackpool. Has always refused to go 😉
We always have fun there. Tell him to go!!
Mmm horse poop and fish and chips 😂
I thought it would be a 1 lb burger but then I thought…But that doesn’t work with the metric system!!
“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.
“I’m craving a vegetable” hahaha I’ve been there 😂
Cheers for watching, it's a fun place - horse poop and all. Our media loves to list the 'worst' places - they're never as bad as made out and there's so much to do in Blackpool. Cheers for watching 🍻
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
Ew - that's grim!!! These were cooked fresh! Cheers 🍻
Blackpool shows are great, but like you I think that I would struggle to stay awake past 11 o'clock 😂, 🧑🦳
Yes, after all that sea air and a day of walking, we're amazed we made the 2nd act! 🍻
