Due to Blackpool Tower being the only tall structure in the town, it does look rather epic when it sticks up out of low lying fog.

@Pulse_Leaks The camera work was terrible.

@CrannyLily @AvonandsomerRob They will be top of the list to look after, because government are scared of them being hurt, less there will be an army of lefty lawyers & NGO’s coming down hard on them if anything happens to the boat people.

Well, another night and another Wetherspoons in Blackpool. This time it’s the Layton Rakes on Market Street in the town centre. The Layton Rakes also has a quite rare music license for a Wetherspoons, meaning that on certain busy nights with young people/students, they can play banging dance music.

@offgriddesigner Can’t beat the old sayings. They knew what things meant back then, unlike the cabal we have in charge now. They wouldn’t take notice of a red sky if it kicked them up the ass.

Still very wet in Blackpool, but the winds have calmed somewhat. #StormBoelo is coming next.

@Clazdana12 @TheLengthsman I don’t know what you mean

@Clazdana12 @TheLengthsman Nowhere in particular.

@cartmansdad1973 Just checked. It’s not an official Wetherspoons account that. Not sure if they even have one on Facebook.

@cartmansdad1973 Boo!

Huge news for Blackpool! We’ve officially been shortlisted as one of the final four places in the running to become UK City of Culture 2029!

For generations, Blackpool has known how to put on a show. From world-class events and our iconic Illuminations to our proud seaside heritage and local community arts, Blackpool has proudly entertained the nation. Now, we’re one step away from bringing a huge £10m celebration, new jobs and massive investment to our town.

We're up against Wrexham, Sheffield and Milton Keynes and the judges will be visiting us soon before making their final decision later this winter.

Nearly 30,000 of you have already backed our bid but we need the whole town behind us now!

👉 Show your support and help bring the title to Blackpool: https://t.co/09aZ9fL8Oo

This light up display on Blackpool promenade is part of a festival of light starting this week, but it’s been battered by high winds today. I took a video of them setting it up the other night, but I can’t see it surviving out here, especially when Storm Austen hasn’t even hit yet.
