So Blackpool was absolutely packed with joyful people today!

[imaginethemdragons]

The sea front full of happy families enjoying the blue skies and sunshine.
Every restaurant and pub jam packed outside with people.
The horse & trolleys were ferrying folk up & down the prom, tram stops with big queues.
The sea looked blue & calm. Great sea brows across to the Lake District.
The funfairs open and huge Ferris wheels were turning with people on.
Good to see some normality and happiness at last.
Not a mask in sight.
Not a single bit of SD
I hope this doesn’t mean another catastrophic wave.

Sea views..

Bet it was fabulous.

If trl a weird frisson of pleasure the other day when I passed a group of lads coming out of a supermarket with a load of beers.

FUN.

I felt 🙄

Wtf, no masks and no social distancing? People have short memories. We're not even allowed in other people's houses yet. Sounds mental to me.

No masks and no social distancing?

Roll on the next lockdown.

While we all know outdoors is low risk the no masks and no social distancing bothers me
I live nearby so this is yet another good reminder to avoid the town centre

I live in Bolton it's about an hour's drive from Blackpool it's been a nice day today and lots of kids are still on Easter holidays ,I don't blame people getting out and about , hopefully the vaccine rollout will prevent another wave and increased admissions to hospital.

Sounds lovely. I hope they all had a lovely day.

Sounds good, it was bloody freezing where I am.

Bet it was a bit parky on the front.

Sounds good - love a trip to Blackpool. I guess you live in Blackpool OP? - must be nice to see.

You have never needed to wear a mask outside

Ime it's always a bit parky in the seafront 🤣

Should people be wearing masks on the trams?

The Lakes might have looked nice from a distance but they were bloody packed with caravanners, despite the fact it was -5°C overnight and has been snowing over the last few days! Just hoping it won't become a litter-strewn, traffic-jammed mess.

Cold here too and no joy but peaceful tonight with a lovely bottle of Celeste, chin, chin 🍷

Can’t wait for sun - maybe tomorrow - but tonight the cats & I are socially distanced inside, a little joy wouldn’t go amiss!

Joyful people..... on a day out in Blackpool? I call troll

It was snowing here all morning. I should have gone out fir a walk, but I didn't. I'm regretting it now. I love the snow.

I'm glad people had a nice day, it's nice seeing happy people, but they do need to be, being careful. Being in arcades,on trans etc they should be wearing masks & SD where they can. None of us wants an uptick.

When was it made compulsory yo wear a mask outside? I must have missed that law.

Why do people want masks outside? Some people want this to go on forever don't they?

Cases are highly likely to increase as restrictions are eased. As will cases of all those other diseases lockdown and social distancing have been protecting us from but we've never really taken any measures to stop people getting.

Love it. Wish I was there

The sea looked blue and calm
At Blackpool?
Never.

I went to chessington last year when it opened.

You didn't need masks all the time but did for queues, certain rides and had to SD.

And that was when you could eat inside (we didn't though as bought own food)

I'm not too bothered about masks outside or SD with family/friends because I trust them in regards testing and isolating etc .

I'm not sure I'm quite ready to be that close to strangers and no masks - even outdoors. And I can't work out if that's rational or not

From your description I'd almost want to visit. Fortunately I've been and know that is pure fantasy.

Blue sea my arse. Photo or it didn't happen!
