    Well I hope you enjoy your visit.

    The town unfortunately does have millions of Chavs visiting each year but we locals tolerate this - they need their holidays too.

    Don't forget to drop by the football stadium - we are Premier League now you know.

    Oh? - So you would allow your 7 and 8 year old nephews to go on their own then?

    Of course I have to go you moron.

    Great response!

    I responded to your post with 2 or 3 suggestions and instead of thanks you respond with insults.

    I guess that is the type of person you are and that Blackpool or anywhere else for that matter is prob better off without you

    This must be the rudest reply I have ever read on here. Etiquette please.

    surely such a charge discriminates against the disabled.....although I don't consider myself disabled because of back problems I couldn't and wouldn't go on any rides, yet I would still have to pay £5 to then pay for my children to go on the rides!

    Aaah Gazfaz, what a great and saddening loss it will be to Blackpool if you choose not to visit. However, as me_eevie says, we already receive a vast influx of the dregs of society each year, so your presence will not be too sorely missed.

    Surely if you loathe and despise our little seaside "hellhole" so much, you would not choose to bring your family here at all?

    As a sandgrown'un myself, I feel ambivalent towards the tourists - yes, they vomit all over the streets and bizzarely walk out in front of oncoming trams as if invincible; however they also serve to remind me that my life could be worse. Afterall, I could be them.

    thay did say they weren't charging for people with disabilities or their carers, but not sure if this just applies to wheelchair users

    :( now thats why I really would object about the charge, I have back/leg/balance problems that mean I'm not disabled to the point I can't walk (though that hurts too, maybe they are worried about people like me spending too much time sitting on benches lol) but I wouldn't in a million years dream of getting on a ride where I would be thrown from pillar to post on a fair grown ride because I know it would not only cause me immediate pain but could very likely cause more long term pain.

    I hope that this doesn't become the standard "charge" for such fairgrounds.

    What a rude person you are. Your spelling and allusion to profanity lets you down somewhat and denegrates your argument.

    Such a pity.
