Blackpool isn't even good for stag do's anymore.
The place is a dump.

It has always been a dump to me.

About ten years ago I asked my elderly mum if there was anywhere in the UK she wanted to go for a [swansong] weekend.
She said that she had always wanted to see the Blackpool lights.
I said that I was sure she had been before but she said no.

Weekend arranged and driving through the lights she chips up with 'you were right I have been before'

Steering wheel starts to become misshapen.

My old man use to go to a C&W club with is then partner every week. I tagged along with a promise of cheap beer (as it was held in social club) and have to be honest (and one of my hidden shames) I really enjoyed the music. Not so keen on the dancing and kept firmly away from that but suffice to say I ended up going a few more times.

The return ferry was cancelled a few times, we had to drive the long way back to collect our cars we had left at the Gourock side:mad:

I think you're being a bit tough on Benidorm :smirk:

Blackpool is only good for Stags & Hen Parties IMO, it's as rough as old boots, unless you do a matinee show and then go back to your digs for a drink, venture out on the front at night at your peril!

My daughter (20) just had a weekend there with the girls, 5 of them, she described it as a sausage fest, 10 men for every 1 women, they had to put rings on there wedding finger to deter the many stag do that were there from chatting them up.
