    I used to work with someone who went to live in Blackpool and was going to buy 2 B+B's. I've dug their email address out and dropped them a line. Not been in contact with them for a year or so, so not even sure if they bought them etc, but I'll report back if I hear anything.

    I got lost heading towards the tower - cos the road started to turm the opposite direction. Now I think of it, I know someone with a hotel in Blackpool - not sure if they finished doing it up yet though.

    Find out then Oscar!

    Blackpools not going to know what's hit us!!

    couple of things:
    Lenny, no drunken picnics in the park I'm afraid, its actually illegal to drink on the streets in Blackpool.:mad:

    Meeting in front of the tower would work, so long as you mean the prom side and not the pavement at the foot of the tower - it's a bit too small.

    How will we recognise each other? Do you want us Blackpool locals to do a big banner and hold it up for a bit until we gather a crowd?

    Got an email back from my friend, but unfortunately they aren't now licing in Blackpool.

    although fate has taken them to my old home town where I will be visiting next month so I might be able to catch up with them - Iwould never have known unles the Blackpool meet was happening!

    Fate's a funny old thing.

    Although, from what I remember, he was going to be buying a couple of flea pits (which I wouldn't have subjected us to if they were still awful), so I was probably closer than I realised!!
