To be puzzled and slightly irritated by all the people who have come to gawp at a marooned ferry.

[twinsetandpearls]

As always on a sunday we have come out for brunch and a leisurely read of the papers. The village is packed with people the roads are jammed there is no parking and the paper shop has sold out of papers. We have just witnessed one car crash and a near miss. Our coffee bar is packed and noisy rather than having its usual laid back sunday feel. All because people have travelled for miles to see a ferry on the beach. Why?

It is a bit odd isn't it

We had to go onto the prom to get into town and gave up, apparantly the traffic is backed up all the way to the start of the prom, about three miles.

Dp has suggested that the ferry remains then Blackpool's tourism problems wii be solved as the illuminations were never this popular.

lol
good idea

they could illuminate it at night t&p!

yes i dont get this gawping at accident stuff and hate it even more when it can cause more accidents..

I was in work on Friday and some of the kids were talking about going down an raiding the ferry! I think they thought it would be like the boats that landed on shore last year full if TVs

i live in blackpool too but have stayed away it's too cold,cant beleive it's still there prob is too bring people to see it oh it's on the news as i write this it will still be there in untill season starts

TWINNY YOU ARE BACK....AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH tis fab to see your name fab fab fab!

btw i havent been to see said ferry, heard about it but didnt realise so many people would make a day out of visiting it!!!

ohh ots like a BLackpool meeting place, 3 of us on one thread from Blackpool, how lovely

Perhaps they've come for the biscuits!

We haven't seen it, not even sure where it is, dp says it is up near clevelys.

Nice to see you donbean, am feeling a lot better.

Theboob maybe we can turn it into a ride or more likely a lapdancing joint!

it is nice , i never think of where mn's come from but one of you could well be sat next door ......and i would not know i love the net

Just goes to show we will d o owt up 'ere for free food.

that would not surprise me they are popping up everywhere

Glad you are feeling better twinny, we were very worried. you are a tough old bird tho, knew you could get sorted .

I often look around at the mums in the school playground and wonder...."are you a mnetter?"

I do that too, I have my suspicions.

I spotted a mumsnet book on my ex husbands new partners bookshelf and found myself feeling very jealous in a how dare she kind of way. I don't think she is in here unless it is theboob. Shit!?

I am feeling better than I have done in a while and am easing my way back into work and even have some interviews lined up. I think tough old bird with sensitive side sums me up.

i find myself doing that,i have a friend who i know is a mn but she is the only one

indeed!
Is it you boob??? are you the new partner of twinnys ex???

You should have seen all the people here this time last year all crawling over the beach picking stuff up! Rumour was that people had come from way away (and not just the national press neither) to beachcomb motorbikes. I find it odd, but I guess that where there is free anything, even entertainment, people will bowl up. And an abandoned ferry just off shore is an unusual sight, you will agree.

I am actually quite worried as it would be just like me to completely and utterly put my foot in it.

How many kids do you have theboob ( now coming out in a cold sweat!)?

More to the point is your partner a twat? You could then be she!

its not me lol

Phew!

3dc and been with dh since school lol it would have been an interesting thread if i was

i remember when all that stuff was washed up on the beach last year,tbh i think i would have prob have gone to get things if they were free but a boat thats stuck,im not really interested its far too cold

Definetly not you then!
