“Huge great, long, wide sandy beach; rides at the pleasure beach, tuppenny machines, water parks and more.”

He added: “When I mention it to other friends who live in the SE, most look askance at the idea of a couple of days in Blackpool.

“Yet they've never been. So I wanted to pop up and say a good word.

“Do it right and it's a joy.”
