    I went on a ride in Blackpool some 40 odd years ago, I think it was called "The Grand National". Strapped to a plastic horse, was going hell for leather over a bunch of houses, realized the straps weren't really doing that much for safety.
    That was the first time I recited the Lord's prayer and really meant it.
    Fun vid guys. No sprouts in the Christmas Dinner yesterday has to be addressed. Cheers.

    I totally agree about the architecture Lee, that’s the main reason why I like Blackpool, I used to stay at the Savoy because of that reason but the last time I went it was a bit run down, I also like the Winter Gardens.
    Plus the North pier, even the hand rails are Victorian, weathered but original.

    We booked a short break in Blackpool after your last visit. The central point was to be the Tram ride with fish & chips. We booked it, a bargain at £15 each, and off we went. The day before the planned trip we had an email from the tram operator cancelling the trip. No explanation, just 'operational reasons'.
    We tried to revisit some old favourites but so many places are now closed down and derelict. Blackpool is now a squalid dump, full of drunks and people openly using drugs in the street. Streets were filthy too. Even the illuminations are a pale shadow of what they were.
    Sorry but Blackpool is finished unless you are on a stag/hen party. Nothing left to visit for. We won't be going back.

    The stars of Coronation Street switched on the illuminations in 1983, when I was on holiday there with my Grandparents. Annie Walker switched on the lights with a beer pump!
    The cast then toured the lights on a tram, which we spotted on our way back to the digs. Alf Roberts waved at my Nan, which was a talking point for the rest of her life.
    Rita actress Barbara Knox has just turned 90, and to celebrate, ITV took her for a ride on a Heritage tram, with my friend Bradley at the controls! Actually, Bradley's parents used to own the Lyric, one of the hotels that were demolished to make way for the new hotel, came at the right time for them, as they were of retiring age.

    Used to go to Blackpool regularly after the in law’s moved there more than 40 years ago from Birmingham. Kids used ride donkeys, the lights, fish and chips etc. Father in law used to work on the trams. We stayed at an hotel on the sea front one Christmas and I recall high winds as we ate our dinner. We saw something fall off the hotel through dining room window which hit a car that was parked next to mine! It would have been cheaper and warmer to have gone abroad. Lol

    Blackpool was nice. But like Rhyl and many other sea side towns the “renovation” has been done for cost and not pride. Meaning they rip anything with character and heritage out and back up a 100 concrete trucks and pour it out. There’s your new sea front 👌🏻🤦🏻‍♂️
    Only thing good they did is the joke paving in front of the tower.

    There was a fish and chip shop on Lytham Road I used to visit and in Thornton Cleavley's. A pub called The Manchester was a good place to visit if you enjoy the company of people spoiling for a fight I'm told!
    It was very warm and calm one evening. I saw a young lady on roller skates along the seafront. If you closed your eyes you could imagine yourself in California! Happy days. 😀
