I haven't been since 2009, though. There just some novelty in the excessive tackiness and crapness of everything there that is endearing. .... The Wax Works where none of the works look anything like who they're meant to be, the Doctor Who Museum with the broken exhibits and the item descriptions with more wrong spellings than correct spellings, the Tower Aquarium that stayed open after the fish had all died, and not forgetting the glorified Christmas Lights that attract people from all over, but are always pretty crap.
That doesn't sound like I like the place, but I do. I really really do. If all those things were fixed it just wouldn't be the same. It would ruin the character of the place.
Exactly! That's what I tell anyone who asks me why I like blackpool, It's like being in a carnival based horror film or something, there's that famous laughing clown there that's been there for decades, a bar shaped like a pirate ship, with a fake pirate with a motorized arm that drinks beer.
Admittedly if I lived as far down south as you I couldn't be bothered to come up here it is pretty crap.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
