Blackpool Breaks

Robbie Williams switches on the Blackpool Illuminations tonight at 9pm

You’ll need a wristband to get anywhere close – there are giant screens outside North Pier showing the event, however.

Just a quickie to let you know that Sander Van Doorn (one of the world’s best known club DJ’s) is on at the Syndicate this weekend in an awesome  4 hour Dusk til Doorn session.

Two dodgy traders got their cummuppence this week when they admitted breaching gambling laws.  Blackpool Trading Standards officers raided their hoopla stall and confiscated equipment.

Lancaster University tested the equipment which showed that the odds of winning were 2,622 to 1 against.

The pair received suspended prison sentences.

Its good to see positive action taking place to clean up Blackpool’s image.  There really is a good buzz about the place at the moment.

The vast majority of stalls, of course, are a bit of fun but we always advice to keep your wits about you and don’t be spending more than you should or can afford.  Apparently a doctor got stung with their scam to the tune of  £1200

Blackpool is set to become immortalised in everyone’s favourite bard game – MONOPOLY

30 famous landmarks from around the area will be included in the game and is expected to be in the shops in October or November.

So we’re wondering what’s going to be Pall Mall and Mayfair –  the Tower must be strong contender….Zoo….Sea Life Centre

We can’t wait for it to hit the shops and won’t be getting much work done in the office when it does!
