Reading the SS letter earlier reminded me how proud and lucky I am to come from Blackpool. I haven’t lived there for 60% of my life (54 years) and with the passing of my mum last November, the last family tie with my town ended. However when anyone asks me where I’m from,I automatically say Blackpool! I think it’s because growing up there in the late 60’s,70’s and 80’s created such brilliant memories and forged so many lasting friendships.
So what is your best memory of growing up in Blackpool?
Mine is working in the kiosk at the Lancastrian Chippy on the seafront in the 80’s, taking the piss out of the tourists, taking my breaks on the beach (it was sunny every day obviously) or in Grafitti Records /Melody House,investing my wages in the latest punk release with nights spent in the Bierkeller ( the one opposite the Cenotaph) watching anyone from the UK subs to Northside interspersed with nights in South Shore at the Dunes and Farmers ending in either Waves,Just Ji’s, Jokers,007 , or the Galleon but always in carnage.
