Afraid not. I'm not into the whole 'seaside resort' and 'fish and rock' scene. It's all a bit tacky for me to be honest, but loads of people think that's part of its charm.

Me. I do. It rocks! 'Scuse the pun. I like the chippys, and the kiss me quick hats, and the tacky tacky shops, and the tide always being in, and the seagulls that are as big as chickens and steal your sandwiches.

I used to when I was a kid. I'm taking my grandaughter to Lythem St. Annes at the weekend, with probably a trip into Blackpool so I'll let you know when I get back.

YES. I have many happy memories....my favourite time of year was autumn...walking along the prom when all the crowds have gone...on a windy day...tasting the salt. Whenever I return to England a trip is mandatory...but I can't taste the salt any more! What happened?

blackpool is great am not that far away from it but i still havent been on the big one

I love all British seaside towns. Blackpool isn't as good as Brighton, but it's still great, there's just something about being almost swept off a pier by wind and eating chips on the prom and slightly gaudy sideshows and amusement arcades that just has "Britain" written all over it to me - it's like a determination to enjoy your time off even if it is pissing it down with rain. I love it.

I've never been there, but a good friend of mine says it loads of fun. I do love the Jethro Tull song "Up The 'Pool". "Up The 'Pool" I'm going up the `pool from down the smoke below to taste my mum's jam sarnies and see our Aunty Flo. The candyfloss salesman watches ladies in the sand down for a freaky weekend in the hope that they'll be meeting Mister Universe. The iron tower smiles down upon the silver sea and along the golden mile they'll be swigging mugs of tea. The politicians there who've come to take the air while posing for the daily press will look around and blame the mess on Edward Bear. There'll be bucket, spades and bingo, cockles, mussels, rainy days, seaweed and sand castles, icy waves. Deck chairs, rubber dinghies, old vests, braces dangling down, sun-tanned stranded starfish in a daze.

Oh Blackpool, oh Blackpool.

I went there a few times as a child. It is cold, grey, depressing and boring. So, yes, I love the place.

Thank you for this question...it triggered so many memories...I went to my dusty box of old photos and dug out some of me and my dad on the 'sands' at B'pool...riding the donkeys...building sandcastles...and walking arm in arm along the 'prom'. Sigh!!

Yes. Love the Fylde coast. Blackpool centre leaves a bit to be desired, however, the Winter Gardens is an absolute gem, the 'Spanish Hall Suite' in particular, and the Trower Ballroom unsurpassed, it was used as a location in the film 'Valentino'. Matcham's masterpiece, The Grand Theatre, reopened in 1981 must be one of the most beautiful theatres in the country, and hosts a huge variety of entertainment throughought the year.The sunset over the North Pier is the best in the world, (and I have travelled all over the globe, the only sunset to come something like a poor second was on Cape Cod.) The North Pier incidentaly is a listed building, as is The Winter Gardens. Stanley Park is very pleasant, the Art Deco Cafe in particular, Sunday lunch with live jazz is not to be missed. Especially when accopanied by a bottle of Merlot. Further afield, in Lytham, Clifton Street is a Victorian delight, with wrought iron and glass canopies still intact. There are a range of quality shops on this street if shopping's your thing, with a particularly nice menswear shop on the west side. Moving further afield, it would be difficult to find a more perfect English village than Wrea Green. In the summer you can watch a cricket match on the village green, or have a drink and a meal in the very pleasant local pub 'The Grapes'. If you like rides and amusements, all that's there as well, and if you like Indian food go to Cleveleys (for the very best). Too many people have only heard of the stag and hen party reputation that Blackpool has, and it certainly caters for that market around the Golden Mile area, but there's so very much more to the place than that. Have a ride on the trams, have a look at the actors chappel at St. Stephen's on the Cliffs, have a pint in the bar at the Savoy Hotel whilst looking out at the illuminations. How about a country walk amongst the spring flowers near garstang, or a day out in The Lakes? What about a winter weekend at a beautiful spa hotel on South Promenade at St Annes? Look beyond the obvious. You can keep your cheap foreign package deals, yes, I love it.
