With regards to Fish and Chips - The Cottage chippy was always a really good one. It is currently closed after a fire but due to reopen this year (hopefully soon) http://www. cottagefishandchips .co .uk

Personally, Im a very big fan of Quilligans - a cafe by Winter Gardens in the town centre. I havent been in since they moved to a bigger building next to the original but I believe it is the same just bigger. I introduced my wife to it when we first met and she sneaks there without me sometimes now haha.

A little out of Blackpool the opposite way to Fleetwood is a pub on the edge of Lytham St Annes called The Waters Edge. No idea why as there is very little water around. But they have a carvery (I have never had that but been told its good by friends that have) and a good menu. It isnt a chain so thats always a plus in my opinion (though Wetherspoons is good for what it is to be fair) and while the food has always been good there, the cakes are outstanding!

There is a distinct lack of really nice places to eat though restaurant wise in my opinion. Mr Basrai is an all you cna eat buffet which has good food but its not really a fine-dining establishment. I did like an Italian called Sapori in the town centre (took my now wife there on our first proper date - wow thats old fashioned haha) which was by far the nicest place in the town (check it out on night you are here) but to get anywhere else really nice you have to leave Blackpool. St Annes has a few - Olive Tree (Greek), Zen (Chinese) are my faves.

Sorry for long off topic post but hope that helps.

Back on topic - Iv noticed people are looking for none plain £2 coins, any particular reason? I have £70 worth and all but 3 or 4 are the same design.

What about The Stone Grill on Queens Prom?

got 2 in my change yesterday - both normal ones - will update my signature tonight.


I keep special ones and normal ones separately, I am not counting my specials as I will be keeping those and not spending them - would like to get one of each. My daughter (who works in a shop and gets loads) is doing the same.

I think this is why the picture ones are so hard to come by, everyone only cashed in the Normal ones.

2 more for me last night that I bought off the wife. Then this morning when I needed change for the shop I had none. Ooops.

That is a problem many of us have in this club. Hubby always says where has your money/change gone?
I have saved it!

:beer: 2 £2 today, I have taken to asking at the till when they are sorting out my change :rotfl:

I got my mum to go through the till first today so that I could find out if there was any £2 coins. This determined how I was going to pay for my 99p item, with a pound coin or a £5 note. Alas it was a pound coin.

I’m hoping that I can shuffle some from hubby tomorrow when I get home. (Spending a few days with my mum).
