  • Simple and best answer to this question is:Bla never ever go to Blackpool. The place is a total rip off. Everything is grossly over priced and the service is rubbish. Blackpool is the icon of cheap rubbish at rip off prices.

    Whatever you do if the lights are on be very careful where you park as they change the parking rules halfway through the day or they did the last time I was there. Parked in a no restriction area on the front to find I had a ticket when I got back as restrictions had come in at around 3.30... This was quite a while ago and I have never been back I was so disgusted didn't see any signs either.

    Hi
    If you park in the cinema carpark you might get clamped (there is a man who keeps an eye on the carpark)

    I visited Blackpool last month. I parked my car in a residential area near pier (10-15 minute walk). If you try before late morning, you should get plenty of place to park for free.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.
  • Last time I went. I tried to get on a tram with a pushchair. The ticket collector made use take it to bits. Just as we had it done they shut the doors and drove off laughing. :D Sums up the whole Blackpool experience. Also £1.50 for candyfloss?:eek:
