I'd rather stick pins in my eyes :(

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

I quite like a day in Blackpool. :)

I might go for a weekend but I wouldn't spend a fortnight there.

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

I'm with Lilly on this one.
A weekend would be a laugh but wouldn't want to spend any more time there.

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

well if anyone does go for the weekend make sure you dont stay where i stayed

I'd rather spend two weeks canvassing with Cyfr.

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

Yep I wouldn't mind a weekend but not a fortnight and yes Flashy have noted where not to stay;)

Has anyone stayed at The Big Blue Hotel next to the Pleasure Beach in Blackpool?

I've read a few good reviews on it but wondered if anyone here had been.

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

Is part of the Classic Hotels Lilly .. stayed in a few of their hotels, and always been extremely high quality ... however, not the Big Blue.. suspect will be of the same standard though.

two weeks, I flippin lived there for 5 years!!!!!!! Never again!!!

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

Well I live here and believe me it really isnt all that bad. Would I holiday here for more than a weekend ? NO Its far to expensive to come and have a week here and personally when they finally put the charge on the pleasure beach I think its gonna do more harm than good.
But in all honesty to live here Yes its far better than back home, even walking /driving around is less depressing than back in ossy and accy.
I have always loved my home town but I really think the way its deteriorated over the last 10 years is bad , and no I wouldnt like to live back there.
I miss the friends I grew up with but thats all, but a lot of them have now moved away too.
Blackpool like many areas has bad parts but they are spending an awful lot of money here to regenerate it and I personally think in the next 5 yrs it will improve dramaticly as a town.

Great great memories of Blackpool..the best place to be for a weekend.. but these days costs an arm and leg.. you could always get a bed at a local BB but Flasheys time there is now typical. a weekend will cost you £400.. taken for booze and entertianment..which I ain't got... is it still full of Scots and Goeordies?

Re: Blackpool Rocks
 

lived there fer 3 years before i moved to spain, its an ok place when ya get to know yer way avoiding all the dickhead places.;) i would return fer 5 days or so no problem.
