Brian, Blackpool is very much what you make it. It’s not the same place that I use to visit as a child although the town is very much the same. Maybe it’s us that change and don’t notice the effect we have our environments.

Personally I dislike Blackpool itself and have live most of the time in what was a semi rural area on its outskirts. Most of the late 70s and very early 80s I worked the pubs and clubs and spent almost all my off duty time bladdered in the more desperate of them. Most of the good shows that we use to get now pass us by although you can still pay a small fortune to get insulted by some guy who thinks he’s a comedian.

But like I said, Blackpool is really what you make of it. I’m sure you and your daughter will enjoy every minute of your visit. Where to go is hard to say, it really does depend on personal tastes. The Tower is a must for the view, providing it’s not ****ing down and don’t forget the Pleasure Beach if the rides. You can also take local pleasure flights around the place for about 40 quid. If you like a good laugh and are not easily offended you should pop in to Funny Girls for a lunch time show, but don’t get your hopes up if an half decent bird walks into the loo behind you, chances are it will be a bloke.

Enjoy it Brian, enjoy Accrington, I always feel that I’m home when I go back. It might appear to be the atypical Dirty Old Town when you get there, but she will embrace you and you will miss her when you leave.

God Speed.
