    I've been asking "What are the attractions?" Blackpool has .....

    ....many things, but nothing I would consider to be an 'attraction', or worth driving 55 miles for.
    Forgive me, but Blackers is my mum's home town and I lived there for a number of years. Once I managed to persuade mum to move away I made a vow never to return. I'd rather poke my eyes out with a sharp stick.

    not got a clue babe. Will think of that one when i find my camera. Hum. might be in bedroom. And not one single word from you lenny on that one. I only tink it might be in suitcase in wardrobe. So get your mind out of the gutter.

    What must you think of me? I'm only a tad rude because Im not intelligent enough to participate in reasoned conversation/debate.

    I agree - without this meet I wouldn't be going there.

    But we need a place to meet, and geographically speaking Blackpool is in quite a good spot for the "northern meet", and it has *some* facilities so we aren't entirely dependant on alcohol for entertainment.

    Like the Pepsi Max, Trams, Rock pools, Amusement Arcades.....Did anyone see that drama called 'Blackpool'? It had the new doctor who in it? It was very good I thought - different, lots of singing in it.
