I had a lovely night in Blackpool on Saturday night .Firstly I popped to Poulton to meet Bernice's dad George and drop off his LANCASTRIAN & PROUD polo shirt and the 3 books Bernice won in our competition and also meet brother Ian aka Willowbank. I must say we all had a loverly chat for 15 minutes it was so good to meet you .As I said to you George have a pleasant flight out to AUSTRIALIA and I will see you on your return to Lancashire in February and we will go down memory lane .Then it was on to Blackpool and a stroll down the promenade to film this years illuminations and I even took some film of some Blackpool chips with lashings of salt and vinegar to make you feel as if you were there . Anyway the video footage seems to have come out OK as do the photos ( Which I have now added to the PHOTO GALLERY) ,there is so much video footage to upload this will take until tomorrow evening (Monday) to add to the sites VIDEO VAULT but a taster is captured above . Well the lights are over for another year and Blackpool as a resort closes down until next Easter , a tram conductor summed it up when he said to a group of passengers MERRY XMAS FOLKS I AM ON THE DOLE ON MONDAY typical Lancashire lad . Anyway I will now clear off and try and sort this video out---( ---Oh and Bernice look out for a SPECIAL message from a bloke that looks like your Dad and don't forget --(PUT YOUR CORNFLAKES DOWN )---Before I go Does anybody have any REG DIXON WURLITZER MUSIC if so please could you send me an MP3 download to lancashirereunited@fsmail.net.
Seeing as it is Bonfire Weekend in the UK have a look at this video of the UKs entry in the WORLD FIREWORKS CHAMPIONSHIPS which were recently held in BLACKPOOL
