I spent many happy afternoons in Southport whilst I was at college in Liverpool, some spent on the rides at the funfair.

I think because Blackpool has always had the market cornered in the thrills and spills, its neighbouring resorts have always been in a no win situation because of it.

As for Morecambe, since my grandparents lived near there, I have horrific memories etched in my brain of horrid weekends, walking on wind lashed promenades.
