Blackpool illuminations

I see the illuminations at Blackpool are being switched on tonight. Good luck to them, but it's not a place I shall be visiting.

Now I'm sure there are people out there who absolutely adore Blackpool, would like to visit it on each and every occasion they can, but I'm not one of them.

You're probably wondering what Freds got against Blackpool? Well I'll tell you.

1. There's always a tailback of traffic waiting to get in.(Goodness knows why.)
2. It costs 15% more for petrol in Blackpool than anywhere else in the country.
3.The public toilets are always shut and the ones that are open are shite.
4.The fish and chips are ,overpriced and inedible.
5.The streets at the weekend are populated by drunken coach parties.
6. The Tower is overpriced for what you get. (Nothing.)
7.The Golden mile is full of litter.
8. The pleasure beach is a rip-off along with the rest of Blackpool.
and finally.....

who wants to look at a bunch of coloured light bulbs anyway?
