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!!"

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.

Brings back memories, used to work at the Doric Hotel, North Shore. Thanks.

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.
