Blackpool is the real British deal - be warned though it expensive (very), dirty and shoddy, the people you buy tickets from for the rides are rude and ignorant. Loved it!

Best part was walking back to the car in the dark October drizzle. Some guy in the backstreet selling hot chestnuts. Made the day. Forever amber!

We visited Great Yarmouth which my wife tells me an eastern version of Blackpool. Enjoyed that too. My only regret in visiting Britain was not purchasing a Jimmy hat in Scotland when I had the chance. Och aye!
