Keith Houchen Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Blackpool Zoo is great, and there’s some decent chippys but yeah, it’s shite. Quote
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted June 4, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2024 Only good in August when the World Matchplay is on. Quote
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted June 4, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2024 The one time I went I was genuinely shocked at how ugly everyone in Blackpool is. The gene pool must be very small up there. Quote
Paid Members JLM Posted June 4, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2024 (edited) Oh it is definitely shit. However there is one outstanding chippy there: https://www.yorkshirefisheries.co.uk Oldest and finest chippy in Blackpool, and yes it’s called Yorkshire Fisheries despite Blackpool being in Lancashire.

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted June 4, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2024 It's shit. Just Skegness with Meccano that's got out of hand, and everyone knows Meccano is what pikeys who can't afford Lego have. Quote
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted June 4, 2024 Moderators Posted June 4, 2024 (edited) It's got three Wetherspoons, so it gets a solid 3/5 Castles. Edit: might want to avoid using pikey as a slur there lotm. Also Meccano is a completely different system to Lego. Edited June 4, 2024 by Chest Rockwell Quote
Paid Members chokeout Posted June 4, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2024 (edited) Yorkshire fisheries is indeed the place (plaice?) to go. I live about 10min on the train from Blackpool. Get to the Arcade club. 16quid unlimited retro gaming for the day. Right next to the football ground. Edited June 4, 2024 by chokeout Quote
Ro_y Disco Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 Awful place. I wanted to do a wrestling show in fancy dress for my stag. There was a PCW show at Blackpool tower that worked out date-wise. We stayed in an Air BnB (thankfully outside of the town). The fancy dress & show was fun, and we did a life drawing class in one of the run-down hotels which was a great laugh. On the Sat we had lunch at Walkabout. There was another stag in there where the guy was in a full gimp suit. I ended up getting delayed food poisoning and the night out after was ruined after I spent an hour in a nightclub toilet shitting myself. Quote
Paid Members Chris B Posted June 4, 2024 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2024 There used to be loads of places with those pens where you could turn it upside down and the lady's swimming suit would come off. That's about my best memory of Blackpool. Probably can't get them now. Quote
Chili Posted June 4, 2024 Posted June 4, 2024 It's got a great comedy club right near the tower, it's a shithole that doesn't try to be anything more. Good chippies. Quote
