The rate of warming since 1982 is more than three times as fast: 0.36° F (0.20° C) per decade. 2023 was the warmest year since global records began in 1850 by a wide margin.

"frequently vulgar" hahahahaha! This was basically my childhood. I'm from Yorkshire so my "seaside" was at the other side of the "North". This is EXACTLY how I remember it, even the clothes (although Bridlington didn't have all the lights and rides as Blackpool did). Sitting on a gloomy, windswept beach eating candy floss and paddling in the chocolate coloured North Sea in your undies is exactly what it was all about. Then after a packed lunch of sandwiches and crisps we'd head for the arcades, play "smash and grab" and "shove the penny" before buying a stick of rock and eating a waffle with fresh cream on your way back to the car. I now live by the sea in Australia and my experience with the "seaside" is something quite different to my childhood memories. Thanks for posting!

Its never been the cleanest of places but now its like a third world dumping ground. I happily remember my parents taking me there as well as Bridlington as we are from west Yorkshire. Its a knock out was there live one year and the place was packed out i slept in a wardrobe floor as it was the only place with any room to spare. Chips in old newspaers always tasted great along with prawns fresh from the sea still with heads on and not from the freezer!!. You could have great time just walking around the pleasure beach. Was free back then and hope you would be allowed on the bigger rides. A slow walk bck to the digs and asleep after all the fresh air happy days. When the uk was the uk . Im so glad i had my youth back then..Thanks for posting

I’ve never been to Blackpool. In 1978, my sister and I went to Penzance in Cornwall. But I do love watching these old films because we did have lots of ‘bucket and spade’ holidays as a family. Usually in Scarborough on the Yorkshire coast.

Bolton By The Sea. Im sure most North west towns would say the same. Wakes week might be a thing of the past, but its still possible to go up there and see a dozen folk you know . Gets some stick these days but theres nowt wrong with Blackpool. It never pretends to be anything other than what it is. Some great times there as a kud and as an adult in its pubs, clubs and football ground....great place and long may it continue. Lovely film

The Pleasure Beach and the Illuminations were much better then than now, more real and fun. As a kid in the 1960s I worked at the pleasure beach during the summer school hols, I ran the ice cream stall next to the wild mouse, it was very enjoyable, people were much nicer/kinder then. Why the council got rid of those decorated trams was really stupid, they were fantastic to see.

I was from Leyland, born 67 and remember the Wild Mouse and this film really takes me back and the fun of Blackpool. We went for a week most years. Scott's week the kiss me quick squeeze me slow hats, fish n chips. Great memories. I live in France now, my kids hv no idea what Fun really was back then.
