I did try claiming that they were pensioners. A very drunken Scotsman at the back of the bus told me I should have said they were under the age of 2.

Talking pensioners, they know how make you feel old some places ... Had Sunday Lunch at Harry Ramsden's on the Seafront Promanade ....

I'm assuming the OAP in "OAP Cod" is meant to refer to the Customer and not the Fish? :D

I have no connection with Seniors but will say whilst they are not cheap they are very good.
 
Have to say my "OAP COD" was very nice. It was a smaller portion than a standard one (and that was clearly noted on the menu) but just the right size for an early lunch and very tasty. I would certainly have it again and recommend it to others unless they specifically want a large fish fillet.

£6-£12 pn is less than the car parking charge as well :)

What is an "ECB" bus?

We went in Yates, as it's dog friendly, never again. We both had different types of burger, with lettuce, onion & gherkin. The burgers were about 5mm thick and the garnish was chopped up really small, covering an area of 2 square inches max under the burger, and I couldn't taste any onion. I reckon one iceberg lettuce and 5 gherkins would serve 40 people. They should get a mention in the bible.
 
I have seen that sort of sign before, a price for 24 hours for motorhomes but no overnight sleeping. So apparently it is OK if you pay for 24 hours, sleep in the daytime and then at night you wake up, put the stereo on loud, cook bacon and onions and burgers with the door open to entice the locals. Put your table and chairs out and turn on the fairy lights.

Ah ok,
two problems for me then .... not old enough (despite buying an "OAP/Seniors Lunch" and don't live in England - so no matter how old I get, I'll never get an ECB Pass :(

It's known locally as the George Formby bus, i.e. the 'Ooh Eck Bus' except that it rarely turns out nice again ... :ROFLMAO:

And catering is best at Blackpool Zoo, where, according to Mr & Mrs Rams-bottom, in 'Albert and The Lion', 'they had tigers and lionsand camels, and old ale and sandwiches too ...' :eek:

No chance I'd park in that festering cack hole EVEN if they payed me £12.50 to do so ....

I'd ACTUALLY rather stop in Morecombe than Blackpool ...
And that's saying something

Festering crack hole? Explain why Blackpool is a ‘festering crack hole’ you clearly watch to much Walk on the wild side. That area of Blackpool was the first stages of this historic town for rich people over 150 years ago hence the 3 tier promenade, promenade gardens and large grand hotels with curved fronts. The tourist part of Blackpool as we know was for common/poor people. Have you been to Stanley park, have you been to the zoo, have you walked around the the perimeter of the zoo and found the WW2 pill box, have you found the history of that area and zoo it was a WW2 airport that trained British and polish pilots, the zoo has kept a lot of the building pointing to that historic period, have you been to the Spitfire hanger at the airport, have you been around Warbreck area ( highest point on the Fylde coast ) and Warbreck gardens, have you spent some time on and around south promenade, the Solaris centre? Blackpool is not just a seafront. We have miles of promenade with a 180 degree view of the sea. Dig into our towns history and heritage then go and search. Between the foxhall pub and the hotel next door is a stone read the history of that stone that is still there today, Robert’s oyster bar, Showtown a visitors centre/museum of Blackpools history. 3 piers, a iron tower with a circus in the basement that local business was asked to contribute towards the fund which many did. People see them but don’t understand them, explain to me why the winter gardens is called that and you will go down a rabbit hole that will make you want to visit and immerse yourself in that building. That last run of road you drive down to get here called yeadon way and Seasiders way was railway track that brought millions of people into Blackpool ( historic journey starts at the end of the M55 ). This town is a perfect combination of the Victorian era and today/now/ the society that we turn a blind eye to, a society that even the common working class snob and sneer at. Blakpool has its pitfalls, boarded up shops, crackheads and the like, you clearly want to see negative side and clearly have come to this small seaside town with a ingrained bias. Please share your bricks and mortar home town and we can compare. Attitude and bias like yours are not welcome to Blackpool, if by chance you was born or lived here ‘ shame on you ‘.
