Beautiful area, cycle there frequently.
i agree - go there when i can but was bleak the other day - seen one poor soul stopped half way up the hill from the viaduct sorting a puncture - i nearly stopped for him but there was no room in the van and he was going wrong way but felt guilty leaving him

You are guilty. He was probably outbound and you coulda given him a lift home. I've a van - there's always a way to make a bit more space.

The vultures will have completed their work by now and next time you pass, only his bleached bones will be there to remind you of your inhumanity. Meanwhile someone else will have nicked his bike.

But don't feel bad about it.

That's a very gloomy take on it. With any luck he'll get back there in time to nudge the sodden corpse to one side and then he can stick the bike in the back of the van. Always think positive, that's my motto.

in my defence he looked very very wet and would have steamed windscreen up and left a puddle - though i could have just squeezed the bike in - i will take some flowers next time i pass the spot

Last time I was in Blackpool, I admit, was maybe 15, 17 yeas ago. We walked along the seafront sideways, so as to keep our backs to the sandblasting coming off the beach. Outside a shop selling rock in the shapes of full english breakfasts and gentials and so on, there was an A-board, with a piece of paper stuck to it, on which had been scrawled in marker pen, "We Sell Fags".

Class!
Me and my ex husband had our first ever dirty weekend away in Blackpool many years ago. I remember laughing at the We sell fags sign. Years later there was a documentary about Blackpool and I saw the We Sell Fags sign, but they had added underneath "+ poppers".

Very windy here, noisy! Moved the bin well away from the car, other one jammed between house and wall. Poor pussy cat is NOT happy :sad:
