Very true. Johnny

[@1harryrobert]

Same as me Random, I like going to bed fairly early & then having a nice early start in the morning. In the late 60's early 70's we used to go to the cabin, it was a boating pool and you could have a nice ride on a motor boat. We used to go crabbing in the pool and then throw them back in. I used to bring my daughter when she was very young and go upstairs at the Manchester pub where there is a family bar and then have a ride on the tram to Cleveley's where I took her on the rides at kiddie's corner (gone now). Great times and I will be back later this year. Take care Random; Harry.

[@Randomanddesperate]

I have a great memories. Cherish them

[@davidcarroll2035]

For some reason I can’t find a place in my heart for Blackpool, my heart lies on the other side of the country, l feel the same about Scarborough, Whitby, robin hoods bay and the North Yorkshire moorlands. Memories both sad and happy, but I can understand how you feel. And the same fate has befallen my places too, compared to the 60’s and 70’s it’s looking tiered. I have enjoyed watching this thanks

[@Randomanddesperate]

I'm glad you enjoyed the content. Yeah sometime it is hard. Especially certain places brings back memories. Never give up random

[@keithwatkins7908]

Thanks for the excellent video. Blackpool holds memories for me, as many, our parents taking us there in the 1970's. Cheap B & B near North Pier. Playing in the boating pool. Fish and chips and ice creams. Paddling in the sea and waling the beach. And holding onto those memories, it is a shame that what we enjoyed then, has now been replaced with changes to those places we love. I live in the Philippines, there are beautiful scenic beaches. But it's not Blackpool, with fish and chips, ice cream and diving seagulls! People should make the most of the seaside towns of Britain.

[@Randomanddesperate]

It sounds to me that you're missing blackpool

[@jeanhorn8891]

Blackpool,Blackpool oh Blackpool. from the Tower overlooking the sea. from the North Pier to the south Pleasure Beach. from wonderful Stanley Park to the Winter Gardens I remember thee. but most of all the memories you still give me.

Blackpool my second home. The Doric is my second family. I have an awful disability fibromyalgia and when in blackpool specifically the Doric I feel free to be a child again :) I have many memories over the years, from. 15 of my whole family to just me and hubby going. Blackpool is a beautiful place my happy place it allows you to feel free from stress and hard times. So much to do :) I visit for 2 weeks in August my main holiday I save really hard all year to be able to spend 2 weeks worry stress free, and be able to reminisce on past holidays and enjoy the current one making new memories. Opposite the doric the rocks I often sit there hours taking in the beautiful sight and reflecting on life and how happy Iand lucky I am. I call the rocks my Shirley valentine spot 😅 I always say don't knock it till you tried it. Looking forward to my next journey to see my Blackpool family. Stay safe love and huggles xxx

[@Randomanddesperate]

I like to know where that rock is

[@ChrisDWXX]

I think it's a 50/50 thing about Blackpool depending on what YOU like. There is some nice scenery along the beach if you wish to look for it and also there's always some life and bars etc if you choose to look for that but all of it has to be your thing. You have to make the best of things and that's what Blackpool is great for if you let it be that . You have to let yourself go a bit. Don't go to Blackpool if you are uptight

[@Randomanddesperate]

Good point

[@manchester1972]

My uncle used to have the manhatten. Bit further down from the Doric (called something else now) Every Friday I would finish at dinner and get the train from Piccadilly. Used to help out behind the bar etc but it wasn't a job. I loved it with all the old folks. I had such a laugh every single weekend. In the Summer I would take 6 weeks non paid leave from work and stay there. Used to go on the exact walk ur doing, Tom's cabin sat on the rocks with a lucazade. The North side is far far better than the South. One year as I used to do every Saturday I put my coupon on at Ladbrokes near the Duke of wellington (closed now) I got 12 homes up. £15,400 for a £10 bet. So u can imagine I had a great week that week. 😊😊
