@e-den-hertog Thanks, I will visit your country one day. I understand your feelings about Amsterdam, I feel the same way about Blackpool. 

And..... If there are any other Blackpool based members here on the forum, the above comment does not apply. 🤣

Not sure who is closest to me. I’m in Letchworth, Herts. More than happy to share my tea, coffee and facilities, big belt sander, vertical panel saw, veneer saw, vacuum presses etc with any members who may be passing or planning a road trip.

You're only about 1.5hrs away @darrenking ... you may just get a visit once we get back to some sort of normality ... and travel is allowed and meeting other human beings is safe once again!

I've visited the UK many times, but never gone to Blackpool.... Is it a fun place to visit? 

🤔 😆 

Like Edwin I live in the Netherlands, in Uithoorn, a small town just south of Amsterdam.

@e-den-hertog No, don’t bother with Blackpool unless you like seedy bars, stag nights, hen dos and all that comes with it. It’s not for me!

@marcel it sounds like you live in a similar place to me, just outside of a seedy city/town. The surrounding villages are always much nicer places to be.

You realise that Edwin is now planning a special trip to the UK, JUST to visit Blackpool?

@tv101 No! He is a sensible chap I’m sure! 

No! He is a sensible chap I’m sure! 

I've met him @Boo ...

A sensible chap I am not...........

Well, anyway..... It's not an issue under the current circumstances.... Every disadvantage has it's advantages a famous Dutch philosopher once said.....

So, no Blackpool for me at this moment......

Now, if it were Slough or Swindon however.....

The great philosopher from concrete village!

It's not for me either, I've never felt the need to go to Blackpool. In my younger days, it was as annual pilgrimage for a lot of my contemporaries, throwing up on bus trip never really appealed to me.

@robin I’m with you Robin, I was never drawn to Blackpool. I’ve been a couple of times to the “Pleasure Beach” (that’s where all the rollercoasters are, before anyone thinks it’s something else 🤣) when taking girls out when I was a teenager. I also attended a few seasons of Blackpool Football Club, when they were in the Premiership and Championship but I wouldn’t go out at night in Blackpool, very dodgy!

Are there monsters there too @boo ???

@e-den-hertog Ah ohhhhhh! Have we got a loose cannon in our midst Tony? @tv101
