    It's heartbreaking to see Blackpool like this. It's a good reflection of the UK as a whole.

      @@richardjones8699 it really is a sad state of affairs. There’s towns all over the north that are in a similar situation as Blackpool or even worse like my hometown Oldham. The north is always forgotten with conservative governments. I really hope things start to turn around soon. Blackpool is a great town with many fantastic things to offer, the residents of Blackpool are amazing resilient folks who deserve much better.

I was really Concerned about You and i said a little Prayer or two for You to Recover and get better soon. There is no rush, just take it easy and take your time. You must really look after yourself. You are a very Special person Steve. Blackpool does look very Sad and it looks like a Ghost Town now. Nobody, can afford to go out now. Everything is just to Expensive for Food and Drink. I really feel for people that can not Socialise, like they used to. We are all now forced to stay at home. Thank you very much Steve for sharing.

    Went on North Pier last Sunday, never saw it look so bad, it got such a battering from all the winter storms. The owners are buisy repairing it but they have a lot of work to do this year. It's a pity that the National Trust are not there to help protect the British Pleasure Piers a lovely part of Britain's Heritage. With such bad weather and lack of money Blackpool is very quiet now. Hopefully things will pick up and we will have a good summer. Look after yourself Steve and take some time out to recover from ylur illness. Thanks for another very interesting video xxx
