To think Blackpool is a bit shit

[Cutitup]

Just came back from Blackpool and it was utter shit. Why haven't the council there made improvements and made it a decent place to visit?

There is hardly anywhere halfway reasonable to eat, it looks completely broken and unloved. There is just so much potential for development and it could be the "Orlando" of England. Instead, it's just shite.

I've come away thinking I don't need to take my children to Africa to appreciate what they've got: just take them to Blackpool.

On a good note, the beach is very nice. Shame about the drunks weeing all over the stairs to the beach and leaving beer cans everywhere. I saw broken Britain in Blackpool and I shall never go back again.

Why is Vienna terrifying?! Do they do Viennese Whirls there? I am thinking of taking DH for his 40th next year...

It's hell on earth LeGavrOrf, it put me off roller coasters for life. My brother took me on it one summer when I was about 9 and I never recovered. Quite frankly I'm surprised they let me on I was such a midget.

There is a poster called Vienna up there talking about the grand national ride at Blackpool, you drunken bastard. not talking about scary Viennese waltzes/tortes/biscuits

Have another glass of Chardonnay Marm, I am

Vienna is gorgeous Marmalade, there's nothing scary about Vienna :)

Oh soz, ha ha ha! Fucking dunce.

It means nothing to me.

I love you Marm

Don't go to Austria with your DH Marm, you need to go with just other gels so you can perve on all the Austrian ski instructor whippersnappers.

Oh but the culture and the history in Vienna is gorgeous, go to Vienna with DH and a skiing trip without him.

marmalade How do two guys munch the same rug?

I love you as well, you drunken cowbag

Ask your mum, Katy.

I'm near cleveleys....I'd be up for a Fylde Coast meet-up...

I was born there. yes. its a horrid place. Nowhere nice to eat, tacky, full of drunks. St annes, although sometimes can have its moments, is a lovely place to live. lytham even nicer, but far too expensive.

And yeah.. a fylde meetup would be great.

Anyone been in the new Blossoms?
it's really quite civilised
DS is livid there is no longer a pool table
he has to slum it in the Institute with the old people

Blackpool is shit awful. We went for a week years ago on 'holiday' - we lasted 3 days and I've never holidayed in Britain since. Disgusting, tacky place full of drunks, junkies, chavs and fishwives. I couldn't wait to leave the horrible place.

Full if junkies, drunks and fishwives from all over the country

Fylde peeps, get ye over to the Blackpool Mumsnet Facebook page and arrange a meet

Blackpool is what it is, you can have a lot of fun here on a day out . It's never gonna be any different until the stags and hens are driven out and that isn't going to happen IMO.

It's fucking great for people watching
