What is like at Night then there?

@@darren253 too scared to check it out 🤣

The biggest problem in Blackpool is that they are thriving on a tower that was built in 1891 the council are bloody useless all they care about is the prom half of the hotels are not viable anymore so want turning in to reasonable housing knock all the crap buildings down or make the owners smartened them up it's a crying shame Central drive in the eighties was a lovely place now look at it

are you for real last season 2023 blackpool attracted the most visitors for a number of years its been top uk attraction since records began maybe next time you visit try actually spending some cash in some of the numerous attractions such as the tower. sealife centre, waxworks. pleasure beach. or the new museum and cinema opening in 2024 . instead of walking around back streets trying to find empty buildings i live in and love blackpool always something to do even when the season isnt on its not blackpool thats bizzare its you hanging around looking through windows i for one will be keeping my curtains shut tightly at night

True!

poverty stricken people are more likely to be impulsive, on drugs, lack of brain power due to poor nutrition etc... and they get desperate, which is why betting shops are in these areas.

I hardly ever see any punters in them. Surely the day-to-day overheads of rent, rates, salaries, heating, lighting and cleansing must dwarf the revenues. Are these betting shops just money laundering, if not locally then at boardroom level?

No one forces people into them

True

That’s the plan- restrict parking-restrict customers- run the place down

I'm originally from Blackpool and I support measures by the council to improve public transport while making driving more expensive. They're on the front line of the climate crisis. I don't consider extending the tram line from the prom to Blackpool North rail station "running Blackpool down", it's green investment 💚

Climate Change my Arse. The earths climate has been changing since before we were here. It just suits the agenda they have for controlling us and forcing whatever they want on us, especially the idiots who believe this nonsense. The carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is only 0.03%.

It's not all like that.I walk all around the resort from the Airport to North some nice residential properties in lots of areas.Some very good priced properties to buy.

Depends where you live. If you live in the northwest then most likely. People from down south arnt going to Blackpool they have nicer sea side resorts there. Black is okay I think it's the only sea side resort that has 3 peirse however you spell it

Yeh....about the time it started going downhill then!

Had many great weekends in the 90s, the place was always buzzing.

@@spillidge45😂😂😂😂😂

The tired old joke was badly told.

Depends where you go in Spain. But Benidorm is a complete dump now. Full of drunks causing trouble and booze. All inclusive hotel food is cheap sloppy crap now as hotels cut costs. Bars and cafes are closing because the EU banned Brits staying more than 90 days and Brits aren’t allowed to work in Spain, so they left their apartments and caravans and went home. Nobody to support the bars & cafes off season and can’t employ Brits. So they close down. Benidorm is becoming just like Blackpool, crime, street scams etc. But to be fair Blackpool offered more than Benidorm, there were decent shows, wax works, museums, the tower, tower ball room. Decent tasty hotel food. Not like the trash served up in all inclusive hotels. Benidorm offers far less, yes it’s sunny but very few water sports like you’d expect in a Mediterranean resort, only places to get drunk. Soon you’ll need Etias visas to visit Spain, proof of finances, return ticket etc all coming soon so more queues and stress in airports and no doubt fewer and fewer Brits will go to Benidorm. Id avoid holidays in EU countries now for those reasons. Maybe with that Blackpool will make a comeback.

@@ELPaso1990TX Europe hates Britain. That much is bloody obvious.

Civil ceremony parties more like

@@ELPaso1990TX What planet are you on? Blackpool is a hellscape. Even Benidorm is superior to Blackpool, anywhere in Spain is. I’d personally opt for Almería or Cadiz. Anywhere is Spain can produce superior food to Blackpool food 🤢. More culture, more interesting things to see and do, cheaper ale and better weather. Blackpool is *not* making a comeback.

@@unusedsub3003 oh yes I agree there are some beautiful parts of Spain especially Seville, Granada and Spanish food is much better than Blackpool food. I was really referring to the very poor quality food found in all inc hotels in Benidorm which is more like slop. All inc food was nice about 20 years ago, but having been to Benidorm recently it was very disappointing and other guests agreed it’s gone down hill rapidly. Benidorm I found to be very rough more like a council estate with palm trees. Vomit and urine stains on the pavement, swearing, drunken violence, muggings etc. I agree however Benidorm is not the real Spain and it’s very unfair to judge Spain on what people see in Benidorm. You really can’t compare the two places, Spain and Benidorm.

@@dropthebomb6636 Pizza shop was called Fireaway on the end of Pleasant Street, just up the road from Blackpool North station. It looked new like it hadn't been open long.

Yeh it's had it's day i think!...and thank you

In wintertime it is like a ghost town, picks up after, but not as good as it used to be, even the lights are cheap and nasty, unlike what they used to be, and why do away with the former lights for what now is presented as Blackpool illuminations?

Ah..its become run down over the years then...Sad.

This video is not a true reflection of all that Blackpool offers. You could tell from his comments and areas he was visiting (in February for goodness sake) that he was trashing the town. I expect we could go to many English towns in the depth of winter and see some manky sites. I find it annoying that people in the comments say I went 50 years ago, I won't be going again and they probably won't juding by this vloggers biased view. I live and work in Blackpool and his comments are way off reality. We do have issues and we don't deny it but we still welcomed 20 million visitors in 2023! This guy walks down one of the shittiest streets in Blackpool and makes equally shitty comments. I wonder if this is to put people off. I could show you a thousand streets in our town where people take pride in the homes.

@@janetagbugblah8127 Glad to hear someone supporting Blackpool, and agree with you. The worst time is January through to the likes of the end of April, I have found.

And you based that on 3 minutes of video. I live near the Solaris centre and it is lovely. Some of those so called abandoned hotels are not actually abandoned. Some are earmarked for demolition as there is a lot of new hotel and residential redevelopment going on. Bond Street has had it's day just like many out of main town shopping areas. Unfortunately it's the owners of these now vacant, derelict once thriving shops etc. that have abandoned them. It's a mammoth task to even identify who is responsible for these properties let alone insist they sort them out.

If only that were true - the town is packed with them.

Also the women in England are now in my opinion taking over more than men they often talk about there rights and harassment etc but often I've now noticed quality of English ladies wven when attractive in appearance has dropped compared to European women and none eu women same probably as well for women in terms of there choices but often I'm not thr only one now to say this there all robots all arrogant and narcissistic and totally often self consumed and don't smile or act like there doing you q favour even if they do speak to you etc Many covered in tattoos from head to toe and in abusive relationships and wearing chsv clothes and slippers on streets and pajamas down streets take drugs and smoke those vapes don't often even look where there going and have little to no manners
