Why is everyone so rude about Blackpool? What this British institution lacks in manners it makes up for in sheer energy, says Simon Hoggart.

Blackpool Pleasure Beach

Posted by jvmills 24 January 2008

A good old fashioned seaside day out! Fish and chips and loads of fairground rides. Never mind your Costa del Sol!

The rides are all good fun, especially 'The Big One', and all cost around £1-2 each. Or you can get a £30 day pass.

The nearest train station is Blackpool North. You can get special promotions on buses and trams - www.nationalrail.co.uk/promotions/e05830eec35ce741007a2e79203d5296.html

There's even an airport: www.ukairportinformation.com/APT-16-Blackpool_Airport.htm

Notorianni's, Blackpool

Posted by JohnYossarian 2 April 2007

Notorianni's is an old-fashioned ice cream parlour in South Shore Blackpool. It certainly isn't fancy, and the American 50's style decor is only like that because they've never updated it.

Oh, and they do one flavour, vanilla, but what a vanilla it is. The texture and flavour is unlike any other, and I have so many childhood memories of going there.

And if it's luxurious triple-fudge, pecan middle-class swirl you want, you can always go to Tesco and buy some Haagen-Dazs.

Yorkshire Fisheries

Posted by wjt13 10 February 2007

Great fish and chip shop in the centre of town, great chips, great fish, jumbo sausages and the all important scraps! (batter that has fallen off the fish) You can take away or eat in. Great prices too. Highly reccomended if you're ever in Blackpool! Oh and you put the salt and vinegar on yourself!!

Old music hall-style cabaret from transvestites. A hoot.
