How strange looking--like an open-air streetcar. What??? No rain in Blackpool? What are those huge medallions overhead? |

Everything lights up at night...that's what the medallions are. There's a very tall tower there too, that lights up, and I believe you can go to the top. I'm pretty sure I have a picture of it somewhere. The weather was nice and the Irish sea is right there. Not sure what they do in those trams when it rains! It was a lovely visit. Fun place...slightly seedy, but interesting nonetheless. |

Where is Blackpool? Do you know the source of Blackpool's name? Is Liverpool's name a similar source? |

"Stacey: The bird in the café she's a bit up herself but not too bad. Yolande in the shop, she's up herself. She's all right sometimes. Pauline in the launderette, she's a right old dragon and she's up herself. The other one just goes on about God all day. My Nan's a battleaxe. My cousin Mo's all right but my cousin Zoë, wait till you get a load of her." Ruby: Do you ever say anything nice about anyone?" | |

It's on the west coast of England (on the Irish Sea) not far from Liverpool and Manchester. It sort of has a reputation for being a "dodgy" seaside town, but I didn't find it that way at all. Not sure of the name origin. I didn't ride the trans Angie...just took a picture of it. Not sure where it goes! |
