Re: Blackpool

There are lots of different shows on in Blackpool, the hotel you have picked is a long way from the centre though, it is almost at Bispham, but at least you will be away from all the noise.

Oh dear - you must have seen a different Blackpool to the one I saw. Hubby & I were there earlier this year and & we were both very impressed with all the inprovements - brand new trams too.

We hadn't been to Blackpool for 20 years previously to that - we'd stopped going because it seemed seedy & run down. Not so now. A lot has been spent on it - it's brilliant - good as most places and better than some.

Re: Blackpool

We often go to Blackpool for a weekend and enjoy it, there is nothing wrong with it.

Nothing wrong !!! its dirty has tatty buildings facing the sea on the front the area behind the tower building is awful as are many of the side streets, it is full of stag and hen party's on a weekend rolling around making things even worse.
The shops that do look half right are just clones of every other major town most of the rest just sell pure tat.

That's what I asked people for when I started this thread . I did not ask for opinions on how horrible a place it was .
Not going at weekend thus will avoid stag/ hen do's .
I live in the country so any shops even if they are just clones or full of tatty stuff will be great .

The area behind the tower has been recently renovated, as have lots of the buildings on the front, it's obvious you haven't been there for a long time.
