Stephen was a very good sport. He's a heck of a nice guy.

[@juliathomas6512]

Bad sport Lee. Stephen comes across as a top bloke . Lets hope this gets him even more followers.

[@wearetomorrowspast.5617]

I went on a ride in Blackpool some 40 odd years ago, I think it was called "The Grand National". Strapped to a plastic horse, was going hell for leather over a bunch of houses, realized the straps weren't really doing that much for safety. That was the first time I recited the Lord's prayer and really meant it. Fun vid guys. No sprouts in the Christmas Dinner yesterday has to be addressed. Cheers.

[@AlvinOfficial-UK]

It’s still there.

[@gavincox6288]

I shit myself that was about fifteen years😜don't they have lap bars now ?

[@paulinepickering8151]

It's called The Steeplechase

[@upthesock1]

I haven't been to Blackpool for about 20 years, now I remember why.

That was very cruel what you did , just hope he hasn't been put off by filming with you again and you found it soo funny , bet he was fuming when he got home poor Stephen

You are very funny together😂 10/10 for the acting!! ❤❤

[@geraldadams360]

That new hotel might like to rethink its underground car park plans? given the current problems with a certain type of vehicle.

[@deanhackett349]

I totally agree about the architecture Lee, that’s the main reason why I like Blackpool, I used to stay at the Savoy because of that reason but the last time I went it was a bit run down, I also like the Winter Gardens. Plus the North pier, even the hand rails are Victorian, weathered but original.

[@AlvinOfficial-UK]

It’s the same with norbeck castle and the metropol. Most Britannia hotels seem to be in the same way.

[@kathrynderrer6443]

Absolutely love, love, love this video! You are the Master of editing Lee! Love the music, the snow gently falling, everything! You are so clever and I appreciate the extra time you put in. The Christmas market looked lovely and the Booster ride had me going "Oh my god!" Lol. My favourite vlog so far! Excellent. Well done! ❤

[@hacendado3840]

We booked a short break in Blackpool after your last visit. The central point was to be the Tram ride with fish & chips. We booked it, a bargain at £15 each, and off we went. The day before the planned trip we had an email from the tram operator cancelling the trip. No explanation, just 'operational reasons'. We tried to revisit some old favourites but so many places are now closed down and derelict. Blackpool is now a squalid dump, full of drunks and people openly using drugs in the street. Streets were filthy too. Even the illuminations are a pale shadow of what they were. Sorry but Blackpool is finished unless you are on a stag/hen party. Nothing left to visit for. We won't be going back.

[@johnrobertson8263]

All places are the same...so don't just shame Blackpool..Christmas looks better in Blackers than here in Stoke town..u know what to do ..Australia

[@tongey1]

I had a similar issue. Booked on the tram ride with Fish and Chips and was cancelled

[@ronniehaywood2725]

Top man Stephen a great sport and a great video.

[@johnallan4826]

Lol

[@blackpooltramtown4951]

Hi Lee and Stephen, it was awesome seeing you both. I will never forget that moment of being deep in thought wresting with a problem and looking up and seeing you both. You really made my month, thanks guys and thank you both for what you do. See you soon. Cheers Paul :)

[@garethvaughan426]

Great vlog guys, love Blackers ❤️

[@dougfurniss734]

The hotel in phoenix nights was called La Ponderosa Great video PMSL 😂

[@fishtigua]

Here's an idea Lee. Go to a good Chippy and learn how to cook Fish & Chip from a professional. Will give you a better understanding of what's wrapped in your newspaper, (I wish).

[@user-sz6nb1vk6q]

My experiences of British Xmas Market, rip off prices & tat. Food always a rip off £8 for a Currywurst, the Gluhwein would probably be equally as sad as well! My judgment is clouded slightly by the fact that I’ve served in Germany a couple of times during my 24yrs in the Army & a couple of visits there after!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Put the sauce on the hot dog and then spin the sausage around in the bun 👍

great tip, I'll try that. I always carry wet wipes as I tend to get my hands and face covered in sauces 🤭

[@plomos0127]

What a superb festive uplifting well edited vlog! ..just Great!

[@martinquinn9007]

That was not a nice thing to do to Stephen

[@TheMacMaster]

Lol. 😂 Don't take it too seriously. It's all showbiz. x

[@markstramtrainbuscapades1729]

The stars of Coronation Street switched on the illuminations in 1983, when I was on holiday there with my Grandparents. Annie Walker switched on the lights with a beer pump! The cast then toured the lights on a tram, which we spotted on our way back to the digs. Alf Roberts waved at my Nan, which was a talking point for the rest of her life. Rita actress Barbara Knox has just turned 90, and to celebrate, ITV took her for a ride on a Heritage tram, with my friend Bradley at the controls! Actually, Bradley's parents used to own the Lyric, one of the hotels that were demolished to make way for the new hotel, came at the right time for them, as they were of retiring age.

[@sharonellis8776]

Omg - what kind of mate are you ?? Poor Stephen, bless him. I could NEVER do that ride ! xx

[@johndavison6309]

The hotel name in Phoenix nights was la Ponderosa they had jim bowen running it

[@barriewilliams4526]

I loved the rides at Blackpool when I was a lad, but at the age of 86, I think I'll give them a miss lol.

[@user-xh3lz9xt4l]

It's not only Blackpool any Xmas market inmy view is a total rip off. What you can buy in a normal shop is twice the price or more at any Xmas market

[@happysnapperman]

Used to go to Blackpool regularly after the in law’s moved there more than 40 years ago from Birmingham. Kids used ride donkeys, the lights, fish and chips etc. Father in law used to work on the trams. We stayed at an hotel on the sea front one Christmas and I recall high winds as we ate our dinner. We saw something fall off the hotel through dining room window which hit a car that was parked next to mine! It would have been cheaper and warmer to have gone abroad. Lol

[@alansheldon9089]

Well done Stephen

[@john07973]

Christmas Markets are pitched at mug buyers. Their mission statement is "Never give a sucker an even break"

[@mansfieldlad123]

Well the sausages looked good but as there charging top dollar you would think that they would provide brand name tomato sauce and mustard not that cheap crap from Farmfoods £1 a big bottle I believe

[@kevinlittlewood7244]

Shame you had to put a negative spin on this. Christmas by the Sea just gets better every year. I went myself and the atmosphere is amazing. Love your energy though and you certainly bring a different side out in Stephen. Use the force wisely my friend ( yoda ).

[@bowjana8128]

6 quid a hot chocolate it's a rip off

[@kevinlittlewood7244]

@@bowjana8128 And I wouldn't pay it either, but if it floats your boat and people have the money - they will pay it. My only point being is please don't headline it for the video when the rest of Christmas by the Sea is a wonderland for most people at Christmas and brings money to the town.

[@Joes45]

@@bowjana8128 We were charged £10 for two small coffees and 4 donuts, had to pay because they made them first then took the money, there were no prices on view either. Beware folks.

[@ksmith3997]

Blackpool was nice. But like Rhyl and many other sea side towns the “renovation” has been done for cost and not pride. Meaning they rip anything with character and heritage out and back up a 100 concrete trucks and pour it out. There’s your new sea front 👌🏻🤦🏻‍♂️ Only thing good they did is the joke paving in front of the tower.

[@angeladelaney4178]

You had me laughing with those thumbnails. Poor Steven hes such a good sport and so knowledgeable on Blackpool. You should have gone on that ride with him lol 😂

[@sicr7373]

My default setting tends to be 'misrable git' but this video had me smiling ear to ear, two great blokes in the Autumn of their lives having a great laugh, and what a great sport Stephen is!...Thanks for a great feel good video Lee! 😄👍

I can remeber Blackpool when it was full of holiday makers and kiss me quick hats. Today it looks empty and lacks the sparkle it once had. At least you can still find some good places to eat, Christmas Dinner well sort of a large curved sausage and then they will finish it off with Fish&Chips, will they both explode?
