Blackpool...

[chalky-ncfc]

Im stopping there for a couple of nights a week on Monday and i wondered if any of you had been there lately can recommend a decend B+B,ive looked on Book.com but i thought that i would try on here first...

I dont think that you would have lowered yourself to visit Blackpool Sam so i wont expect a reply from you...;)

[jiltedjohn]

Blackpool is a s**thole, I was there a few years ago, can't remember the of the hotel I stayed in but it was a s**thole too.
Go to Liverpool, JJ recommends it. :)

[chalky-ncfc]

I agree that Blackpool is a little run down and not to everyones taste but i enjoy visiting there and want to see the illuminations and a couple of pints...

I agree that Liverpool is a great City to visit and i may well go there before heading back home...

See my post on CM Chalky

The illuminations are s**t. Ask at your B&B if they do free tram cards, we went to Fleetwood on the tram, s**thole tbh, stopped off in Clevelys and got p**sed, and the card also allowed free bus travel to St Annes, got p**sed there too. Handy things free tram/bus cards. :)

[chalky-ncfc]

Free tram travel would save a fortune,why are the cards given away free?...

[jiltedjohn]

It was maybe just some sort of promotion, worth asking for though.

They are NOT free Chalky.. You can buy a bus/tram pass in the local shops that will save you a bit of money.. I could travel on them trams free with my Lancashire bus pass but the conts have stopped it and made it for locals only..>:(

[jiltedjohn]

Just had a google, the free tram pass was part of the package I went on and wasn't anything to do with the hotel, although it was they who supplied it, sorry Chalks. - view external link (bookings.blackpoolpromotions.co)

Watching Strictly, reminds me of my trip to Blackpool.

It was good of you to point it out anyway...

Unbelievably Jilted John is correct in one of his statements.
Blackpool is very run down and grimy, It has a large Scottish population and drink and drug issues, related? you do the math.

Regarding the illuminations, don't let people tell you what to do, if you want to go and see them you do it, hundreds and thousands of folk go there every year and enjoy them, why should you be any different?
You enjoy it mate, you may be able to show others there is life beyond internet forums B)

Unbelievable the paranoid one admits some truth. The illuminations are s***, it's like the old Dundee High Street on Christmas day 20 years ago stretched out for miles.

When I went a few years ago the pubs were dead, the best thing

Had a great weekend in Blackpool with some great lads

Stayed at the Norbeck Castle Hotel which was a short tram ride from the centre

Not 5 star but good enough with a pool and gym

The illuminations are something to treasure

Great, you enjoy Chalky.
Illuminations are enjoyed by millions every year, so they can't be that bad can they?
Just watch out for your self in the pubs though mat

[jiltedjohn]

The pubs are quiet during the week, you should go at the weekend when the hen and stag dos are there. A couple of mates were staying in some hotel where there were a couple hen parties, they had a very good time.

[chalky-ncfc]

I prefer without the stag and hen parties if im honest jj...

[Acido]

I adore certain seaside holiday towns like Blacky (& Brighton for example). And yes while I will not disagree with the comments about Blacky being tacky and sh*tty etc., thats still one of the biggest things about the place.

To be honest this does go back to my childhood.
