Blackpool Pier Nostalgia

After finishing my online teaching (I started at 3am this morning, due to the timezone difference between the UK and south-east Asia), I took a walk along the pier. Some of these sights took me back 50+ years when my family used to visit Eastbourne and the pier (exciting holiday NOT!).

I thought that 50 years later, these kinds of amusements would have either disappeared or gone upmarket. Plenty of families about today (comprising mostly fat kids + fat mum + fat dad and "I AM SMOKING A FAG!!"

Harry Enfield and Kathy Burke - I'm smoking a fag - YouTube

Fcuking freezing though...

Not one to diss a pier please don't toss yourself off, perhaps a ride on donkey will help prostrate your loins. You are seriously advised to get off the streets before closing time Saturday night.

I'm in the land of Nod by then. I have to get up at 3am to teach online, due to the time difference between the UK and Thailand.
