Comments on: Back from Blackpool http://www.antoniabance.org.uk/2005/09/23/back-from-blackpool/ Thoughts of Antonia, Labour activist and feminist in Oxford Wed, 08 Oct 2008 03:22:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Lawrence Chard http://www.antoniabance.org.uk/2005/09/23/back-from-blackpool/#comment-10751 Lawrence Chard Mon, 03 Jul 2006 20:09:42 +0000 http://www.antoniabance.org.uk/2005/09/23/back-from-blackpool/#comment-10751 Your comments that "Blackpool itself is horrible" are more than a little unfair. Sure, parts of it are slightly tacky, but then it caters for a mass market, and does so at incredibly good value prices as you acknowledge yourself in several places. We notice the your grammar itself is horrible, at least in places, but at least you have taken the time and effort to create your blog, so we should not be too harsh in our criticism. We actually found your blog because of somebody called Ruth Watson who also said that there was nowhere in Blackpool where you would want to eat. This is possibly because it gets invaded by stag-nighters, political party conferences, and the attendant baggage which comes with them, such as journalists. Many of these good people drink crass drinks such as Tequila slammers, and think Starbucks sells good coffee just because it's expensive. Next time you are here, try Senior's, if you are not too biased to try fish and chips. Your comments that “Blackpool itself is horrible” are more than a little unfair.

Might it be because its a traditional liberal colour, I wonder? It's just a wild guess... ;-) One thing I noticed about Lib Dems is how they all seem to like orange things - vast numbers of orange scarves, ties and t-shirts were in evidence.

“Taxis and gin are cheap.”
