Also no fun for kids

Looks great Les for 'one foot in the gravers'

Where's the beach? I know Blackpool's beach is not the best, but at least it has one

That abbey looks a bit of a wreck

[Michael Parnham]

We not a seaside resort
hopefully you will have seen Harrogate in all its glory when stage one of the Tour De France finished here - was amazing

Prefer the East coast - you have the tacky Tower, they have the Abbey

I'll always support you Les!

657 ad the original monastry, 1540 the one you see - so yea maybe a bit run down

Whitby and Scarborough no fun for kids, I take it you've never been

At least these beaches were not condemned for years for being full of sewage - unlike Blackpool

Regarding Harrogate - it's heaving with young people. Place to go these days. If you have never been you can't comment. I have been to Blackpool lots and it's cheap and trashy, but it's fun too.

[joebloggs]

Of course I can comment, you've told me its not for young people, you should know Les, you live there

Now are you talking about Harrowgate or other places Les??

Anyway who cares?

[les_taxi]

Rubbish i said it's not where you would bring children particularly as it's a busy town-not a theme park or seaside place.

What's Harrowgate? Never heard of it

You can comment, but since you have not been there you cannot base it on experience - I can with Blackpool.

Here is a review of a hotel I once stayed at a couple of years ago in Blackpool.

We arrived at the front door to be greeted by the owner to tell us we had booked it wrongly and if there was indeed 2 of us in each double room (instead of 1) the price is £50 per night instead of £35! (My mistake). We then asked to cancel he said he would charge us anyway as needed to cancel 7 days beforehand. So we had no choice but to pay, as booking over the internet, the owner already had my card details.

We asked to see the rooms before we paid anyway. After seeing the rooms we went back to complain about the state of the rooms, as they were dirty. He just said, "this is Blackpool, what did you expect?"

I don't hate the place to be honest, but would not want to live there.

We have the 8th top rated hotel in Europe too

Les 8th, bit like Man United

I can't be bothered to search Les, but you've recently posted about making a comment on something when you've never been there

Busy town? Oh I live in a busy city, much to see and do here, get over to Heaton Park Les at the end of next month, I might see you there

Have you been to that hotel Les, if not how can you comment on it?? £265 for a night , I'd rather go to cheap Backpool. You know the saying Les, you cant buy class

[les_taxi]

Yes, I have been to the hotel - mates rates - I pick up there all the time.

I can't be bothered to search Les, but you've recently posted about making a comment on something when you've never been there

Where? I can't remember.

Heaton Park looks too classy for you Joe

[joebloggs]

Well Les, looking at the link:

Manchester is the most popular place in the UK after London. Oh, Blackpool is 5th, can't see Harrogate. Oh - at Number 36

Some people on there have got class and taste

[joebloggs]

It's alright for my holiday home, nice big back garden

It's a town Joe, not a city - and still one of the most desirable places to live in the UK

[les_taxi]

Les 8th, bit like Man United

Can you show me when we finished 8th?

[Dedworth]

Superb post Iani

There's only 2 groups who vote for Labour

Suicidal mug lemmings

I vote Labour cos my Dad did, and his father before him and his father before that

They'll soon be joined by a third group - the germs you touched on in your para 1 - uncontrolled mass immigration promoted by Blair & Co to create future tame voters and "rub the rights nose in diversity"

[joebloggs]

What positioin did United come Les?

You've no idea Les, for example, I took my daughter here last Saturday. She had a great time, so did I (some of the women )






Have a look here, go to the gallery, spot my stepson

I think you're insulting many on here Dedworth, most - if not all - of our partners came from outside the EU

[les_taxi]

What position did United come Les?

Not 8th

Not denying Manchester is good - I have been a few times. Once again, a large city has more entertainment - more people to entertain.

Yeah sounds great - followed comments

My lad was very determined to get in, so we stuck in the queue for FOUR hours, no communication, no effort to help the queue gone to, oh and it was raining. We never got in. Nor did another thousand. MCM finally responded to my online campaign for a simple apology with "A great many people turned up, the weather was poor, the situation was not ideal. Indeed." They are now in the process of cleaning up all critical remarks from their website, along with their less considered remarks. Shambolic...........indeed.

Stepson queued for 4 hours and as you can see they were still

I've taken my daughter to the previous 2, always bought early entry tickets, the previous times we still had to queue for an hour or so, this time we were in, in like 15 mins.

Got there 8:45 in by 9:15am, we left about 11:30

Yes it was pissing down - but it didn't stop people have a good time - the only day it rained in the last few weeks

I think nearly 40,000 went over the 2 days, next year I'll take her to the one in London, 100,000 people go over the 2 days

[les_taxi]

Sounds good. There - agreed with you for once - you can sleep happy later!

Movie for me now

[joebloggs]

What's the movie, 'Expendables 3' Les?

[grahamw48]

I think you're insulting many on here Dedworth, most - if not all - of our partners came from outside the EU

Nobody on here is being insulted Joe, but they have suffered through us being members of the EU, the irresponsible actions of the Labour party, and all the that British sponsors and their loved ones now have to put up with as a result of it.

[Dedworth]

Filipinos have always been subjected to immigration control - I'm talking about the masses Blair and his evil cohorts encouraged in - spurious students, so called "asylum seekers", Eastern Europeans, non deportation of killers, extremists and criminals etc,etc

Thelma and Louise Joe

And do you think the Tories will get us out of Europe Graham? I don't think so. Iani also remembers black Wednesday. Harrogate? . If I want the kids to sleep all day I will take them there.

Sorry Andy we operate on a no Riff Raff policy - try Blackpool

No I don't Andy, but of course I'm not a Tory voter.
