    I was born there. It’s pretty depressing these days but I still love the pleasure beach as do the kids, the wooden rollercoasters are hard to beat. You can pick up some very nice houses relatively cheaply and if all that drilling and fracking pays off who knows what might happen.

    I have friends down south who visit often, they cant believe how much my house cost me, it wouldent buy a 1 bed flat round their end!!! Average 3bed semi thats nice to walk into and live is approx 120k in a nice respectable area, the fracking will bring in higher skilled jobs and money, but u go lytham and its crazy, millionaires row down near cypress point, i mean roy walker lives in the pool so it has to be right!!!! : )

    The family used to live in the big house at the Lytham Rd end of Kingston Ave, but moved abroad about 7 year ago.
    My uncle was the Manager of the Sandcastle when it first opened, which was great as an 8 year old having the free run of the place!

    Ahh no way that house is lovely now good little home that!!!! Blackpools strange as you can have million quid houses across the rd from the uks biggest housing estate!!!! You can go 15min drive to where i usecto live (hambleton) and its a picturesque village, pilling,warton,cartford,garstang all amazing places and some bargins to be had, best bit is you can still buy land round blackpool in the stix and build as regs are getting lax now to up the building game again.

    Ive been a regular visitor for over 20 years now and Ive loads of mates there.

    Love the place but I tend to not venture within a boundry of Waterloo Rd to the south, Whitegate Drive to East, Roundbout on Prom to the north, and the sea.

    Theres loads of lovely places around Blackpool and the Fylde in general and this programme should be taken as dramatised.

    But its had me in stitches at times. Like the “lady” a few weeks back who was under south pier doing well….things.

    Policeman :- “do you think thats acceptable behavior in a family holiday resort ?”

    “lady” :- ” family holiday resort ? no its not, its a ….hole” 😯

    @ bigphilblackpool :- A google search brings up Black Bull Presall.

    Is that the one ?

    Cheers

    Thats the one, sorry a bit tired at this time, its a lovely place, real food proper home made chips and a good atmosphere, i take the wife regular, its a tshirt jeans sorta place kids welcome, or if you want a bit of a posh meal for u and the mrs try the cartford inn, just won best kept seceret award the food there is a bit posher pub grub, gormet burgers etc but still reasonable seen as all the ingrediants come from a few miles round the pub, but the black bull menu changed slightly since the one online, reccomend the mix grill or the potted steak!!!!! And the portions are big no need for sides etc.

    No probz allways like to show the better places and theyre usually tucked away, if you like a cider try the draft one with a tree on the pump i cnt quite remember the name of it but its sweet and refreshing, bit too much like fizzy pop think its pear also, but if the wifes driving wehey!!! If u go to the bull ring up and reserve the corner booth nearest the bar, big comfy bench style cubby hole right next to the bar best seats by far!!!!!!

    I stayed in cerphilly for a while at the connaught academy, not much to do but i wished id took my bike!!!
    Went out in newport lost a tooth and hurt my right hand so bad experiance there lol, theres som stunning parts, knott end, preesall,lytham,ansdell,garstang hambelton, but you have to drive or live there to appriciate it,its unfortunate a lot of undesirables seem to come here to reside, but its all in certain areas thank god, i only left hambelton as my wife worked as a nurse at the local hospital and the commute back at 4am was worrying me as shes not the best on country rds at night so we moved.

    I think it’s an awful place. I can see why the ambulance service get a lot of suicide calls out there.

    It’s so dirty and rusty. Horrible.

    Plus the DWP has some sites out there, another reason to hate the place.
