Made my first, and last, visit to Blackpool on Boxing Day. Daughter was doing a 10K run from the North Pier and we were looking after the grandkids whilst she was competing.
Title says most of it ..... dog sh*t everywhere, in fact what a run-down dump. North Pier's never had a coat of paint since the old queen died (1889), the facades of the buildings around the Tower area could all do with 50p of paint and the windows washing. The whole seafront is a decaying mess. Even finding a litter bin wasn't easy.

Sorry, Blackpoolites, but what a disaster!
 
Having worked there for 25 years I could not agree with you more. Its DSS central, its a summer economy dependent on holiday makers, run by a council whose members are more interested their own goals. Its cash strapped and backward thinking, need I go on! When will they wake up and realise that we are in the 21st century not living in past glories. If you want to see it relly bad try the Town Centre any sunday morning, then its dodge the pavement pizza and discarded "Hen and Stag" tat.
 
Don't start the dog cr*p issue again. Someone on here will be back in the rant forum.

I almost did that 10k myself (building up to a half marathon in May). Glad I didn't, down with the cold bug thing at the moment. How did your daughter get on, did she enjoy it (apart from aforementioned issues)?
 
The Las Vegas of Northern England....gimme a break !

My work has a holiday home in Blackpool, or Cesspool as I prefer to call it. I stayed there two years ago and although the house is all right, what a hole Cesspool is. I pity the people who have to spend their working lives in the place. The best bit is the proximity of the beautiful surrounding countryside you can head off into to escape the horribleness of the town itself.

It ended up as an 11.5K - all the extra distance running around the dog sh*t piles :augie
 
I was working on a training DVD for a major fast food company. We shot at the one in the Blackpool Fair Ground for two weeks over the winter period when the place was closed. Happy days!

Still, when we came to blowing a restaurant up, as part of the how to evacuate sequence, we went to Leeds, which was where we pulled 22 syringes out of the kiddies play area (the place had already been closed down, the kiddies areas are checked and any "sharps" removed in "live" ops).

Blackpool is stuck, trading on nostalgia, but needing to modernise. Hard trick to do.
But they could wash the streets down. Typhoid and diphtheria are not elements of nostalgia.
 
It's like a place out of a Viz cartoon.... but a bit worse. Fortunately it's not on the way to anywhere, so I only have to go there when work are paying me.
 
We went in the summer as I had promised to take the kids to the Pleasure Beach. As you quite rightly point out, what a utter, utter complete shit tip the place is.

Shame, coz as a kid I remember having some happy times there, but we are talking nearly 40 years ago :rob
 
I believe Rab C Nesbit described it as 'Las Vegas for scum'

I think the place is dump and seems to be full of chavs and OAP's (I don't have a problem with the OAP's)

had the misfortune to go to blackpool about 18 months ago (work related).

spent one night in the town, couldent believe people actually pay to go there!

it is a complete and utter crap hole, full of cheap tat and fat tattooed women,

the whole experience made me feel rather sad, is this all people want or expect from a holiday? :confused:
 
Blackpool vs Rhyl

This would be a close one had to go to Panto there yesterday with the kids (was funny) but it has to be a close call on the no1 shit spot:D

it really IS a top place for a night out! even better if you are a "proper" piss-head!


you can throw up just about anywhere and nobody gives a feck!:blast hell you don't even have to wait till late in the evening! .....

mid morning is fine! just blurgh it all up to make way for a greasy fat burger or some shoite frozen barely cooked chips for your lunch


its great!


don't forget... all the tourist money spent on the fair and in the arcades... just fecks off so fast to all the Gypo owners of said establishments that the council never see a cent in tax or any other payment.

the Pikeys get the lot!

how much
 
I'm glad it's full of chavs, pissheads and assorted gobsh*tes because it means they're not at the lovely places I like to visit.
 
think that was bad
