I can’t understand why there should be an issue with the horse muck; during an average week you can find along the sea front from Talbot Road to Foxhall; sand, dog ****e, Human Blood, human excrement, Urine, vomit, used condoms, beer can’s, broken bottles, chip papers and common litter, more vomit, idiots lying in the gutter, poor public planning and hideous buildings. Get a Grip Blackpool. It’s a ****hole and it’s now’t to do with Horse crap……..

100% well said

You forgot to mention that wakes weeks were the two weeks in the year in which the weather was certain to be crappy.

I heard that the great big empty building is going to be a bowling alley ,,
we could do with a few big stores like Debenums or B,H,S, etc and we would never nead to go into Blackpool ,,,,,

Great news Granny - 'seating' - that's how to encourage older visitors

I think cleveleys is beginning to look really nice now granny . i was up there the other day and when you actually drive along the prom it realy is beginning to feel like a holiday resort ..
I think blackpool need to take some pointers from it ..

I took them in August on one of the nice warm sunny evenings. We had a two hour walk on the beach. It's a job well done by LCC. South Shore as had the same treatment. If the RAF bomb the bit in the middle, we'll have made.

If you click on the Pictures at the bottom you can see some of the detail.

I was taken to Blackpool for only the third time the other week.

After a bracing walk at Cleveleys, we went through the illuminations, and I saw a man shovelling up after the horses that were pulling the carriages.

I hope he's not lost his job, now the big jobs are ending up in the horsey Pampers.

(Loved the sculptures on the seafront by the way. That big silver globe is amazing.)
