From hearing the shout of "Mr Wigglies for a pound" to being attacked by hungry seagulls, Blackpool really isn't like anywhere else in the country, or the world.
You're not really from Blackpool if you haven't...
1. Heard the shouts of "Mr Wigglies only a pound" or "10 lighters for a pound"
The number of lighters increases by around 5 each year.
2. Told someone you have met on holiday abroad that you are from Manchester.
There's no helping them if they've never heard of Blackpool.
3. Hid from the gale force winds and battering rain
Doorways, bus and tram stops or the arcade are the best places for protection.
4. Been attacked by diving seagulls
Or smiled when tourists have had their food nicked by the hungry birds.
5. Avoided the prom during the Illuminations
Locals just know.
6. Been stuck at Carleton Crossing
You also have to play the 'how many trains' game.
