I can confirm that when i went to the pleasure beach in the early 70's entry was free,
they made enough on the rides and candy floss !
Blackpool looks deserted, a far cry from the days you coudn't move and it
took ages to make your way down the prom.
Why people go to Spain for a holiday beats me, Blackpool has it all without it
been too hot!
Now it’s gone, corporate and greedy a family of four absolutely rinsed, to top it all they got rid of Trauma Towers and Noah’s ark !
Lived in Blackpool in the 90s for 7 years use to walk round the Pleasure Beach for free, the whole place has changed for the worst.
I remember old man Thompson who built the pleasure beach was dead against charging an admission fee after Walt Disney who visited the place suggested it. His son carried on the tradition, but when he passed away his kids immediately changed things. Its not a patch on how it used to be. We had lots of fun with my three kids visiting the place, but couldn't do it with our 5 grandkids. Far too expensive.
Same her in belfast used to walk round the thompson dock where the titanic was fitted out park beside it ten yrs later not a chance no parking unless you pay plus pay to get into dock last free carpark now used by amazon to service there fleet of beat up vans
Yes, I remember around 1970 ish we went to the pleasure beach when you could just walk around I think you could buy a ticket at a kiosk for any rides etc, so we just spent all afternoon in the fun house, that massive slide in the middle was awesome as a 10/11 year old also it did not cost Mum and Dad too much either😆
The Globalist filth has destroyed it.
@@TrumanShow-im2vedamn those pesky globalists meddling with our business 😢
I love Blackpool and always will. There's just something very special about it.
Making comments, is very difficult when you are my age (80) We went to school aged 4 and every Monday you took a penny to buy a picture of a coloured child in Africa, along with the tag's save a Brown boy etc
Then you went to town and every other shop had a model of a child outside in callipers which was a cash collection box and a sign saying pay to help Spastics, A well known actor (Brian Rix) used to perform and drop his trousers on stage to support the Spastics
Now after 80 years it is difficult to wipe the brain and be alert not to use the language you have used all these years
Just use the vernacular that was gifted to you by your parents. It drives me crackers when everyone acts in a subservient manner. Why is everyone kowtowing to these faceless weirdos who push this politically correct agenda. Say what you want. If we all do that there's jack schitt anyone can do about it.
Many years ago, I went to the original Harry Ramsden's in Guiseley. It was fantastic - the waitresses were dressed in traditional black and white uniforms, there were glass chandeliers from the ceiling and the fish and chips were cooked in beef dripping.
In the corner of the massive car park was a wooden shed where Harry started the business. Alas, now long gone.
Blimey where was everyone!….. I know it was a bit gloomy but the place looked empty…. I can remember going there in the 70’s when I was a kid and it was packed!….
I have great childhood memories of going to Blackpool Pontins in the 70's. Yes you could walk around the Pleasure beach for free.
Thanks for the shoutout pal. I was working my ass off doing a proper job that day lol 😂
Lol. 😂
I have to agree with you Lee. Too many people get offended for nothing. People have to have thicker skin. I returned to England 2004 but left 2008. The England I once knew and loved was gone. Cameras everywhere and freedoms gone.
Yup, cameras, fines and punishment at every turn.
Where did you go to? I want to leave this authoritarian shithole.
😂😂😂😂😂 you can't go back because things were never that way in the first place
@@TrumanShow-im2ve Get yourself over to Russia Iran North Korea or Saudi Arabia if you don't like the UK where are these fines and punishments at every turn that you mention
Thanks for keeping Blackpool on the map
In the past life was about having fun
Now life is about being offended
Thanks for sharing lee😊😊
Loved the fun house on the pleasure beach as a kid before it burnt down. You're right about being able to walk around it as well.
Trauma towers was the most memorable for me, Bone shaking wild mouse ride and Noah’s ark too 😅 they got rid of the fun stuff in place of bigger thrill seeker rides.
Took my grandkids for the first time last year since the admission charges were introduced. Now they’re older at least they get value for money being able to go on all the rides. They did all the new fancy thrill seeking rides, but their favourites were the old Big Dipper and The Grand National. They admired the rickety ride rather than the smooth slick ones. I think they would have loved the Mad Mouse and The Fun House. Just shows the multi million pound rides don’t always provide the best experience.
Harry Ramsdens was in Guiseley on the roundabout. It was once the biggest chippy in the world i believe
I worked for Harry ramsdems for 4 years, I got out just before they destroyed the business, it was a shame we used to have queues all day long at one point
Just caught up with your Blackpool visit. Another lovely video Lee.
Yes I remember walking around the pleasure beach for nothing then were the days great video lee thx for sharing👍
Marvelous video, many thanks ;)
I visited the comedy carpet last year when I went to Blackpool. It always a highlight of my trip there.
Mother Hubbard's was indeed opened in Bradford near Morrisons on Ingleby Road, Girlington, around early 1970's, Hilda and Stan Ogden from Coronation street opened the restaurant and a standard fish and chips was under 50p or 10 bob back in the day😆
Gaz Yorkshire.
Sorry Lee, Mr Whippy and ice cream don't belong in the same sentence!
That was a great video thanks Lee
Nice to meet you there, nice to see a local in Blackpool! Mansfield massive!🙂
The chippy staff looking at you suspicious like🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Nice one Lee great fun .
My husband and myself went to Blackpool last October for 3 days for our honeymoon and we really enjoyed it. We went to C Fresh chippy and it was amazing im really fussy with chippy chips but the chips were really tasty. Hoping to go back next year or the year after and maybe for abit longer this time
Great vlog Lee,the original Harry Ramsdens was in Guiseley opposite the White Cross pub not far from the airport. We are planning on a night over in Blackpool soon so ill ckeck out the Yorkshire chippy while we are there.
Yes your right you used to be able to walk around pleasure beach park, haven't been since they changed it.
I don't know about Blackpool, but our local amusement park was open - anyone could enter and you just bought tickets for the rides. I think the idea was that once you entered, you would be tempted by the rides and buy tickets, But then, there were some incidents with not-so-nice people getting into fights and scaring people away, so a small admission charge was added to discourage them. Now, it is a big admission charge and you still have to buy ride tickets. In the past, some adults just went to watch their kids who went on the rides. Now, everyone has to pay (rider or not) and that makes it much more expensive.
A great fun video, Lee 😂👍👍
The great late George Segal. Roller-coaster
Great video lee, i love Blackpool, a lot of happy memories from there. fish and chips looked yummy and the donuts and ice cream extra yummy. nothing beets freshly cooked donuts 😊😊
I remember when you could just walk around the pleasure beach
Thanks again for the video from Blackpool a nice seaside resort to visit. For me rather than Fish and Chips I would prefer to go up the tower it's less Fattening. Pleased you met your many friends there again.Regards Keith x
I've never fancied Blackpool , they say it's Benidorm in the rain.
I really feel that had to be said lol.
Yes especially when the stag and hen parties appear, lots of tackiness’
I sadly have to agree plus very expensive there now better going abroad least have decent weather most times.
Slipping in and out off Sarah's back door pmsl 😂😂😂
LOL I did think that once I'd said it! lol
@@TheMacMasterhey did Sarah know about you sliping in and out of her back door LOL 😂😂😂😂xxx❤
Richard Widmark.
Some of the film was made at King’s Dominion park in Virginia.
I preformed in a show there that summer and actually auditioned for a small part. One of my mates got to play one of the FBI agents!
Peace.
Brilliant video Lee 👌🏻
Outside Neo's, did you notice the number plate on the vauxhall? 😂
Nice vlog Lee. It you have done it again 😂😂 I am only 7 miles away 👍👍🍺🍺🍺🍺
Saw you filming this on Monday . I was just enjoying my spoons curry in Velvet coaster. !!!!
First visited the Yorkshire Fisheries in the 1970s, everytime we came for our family holiday in Leapold Grove holiday flats it was our treat😎
Most people who are offended either aren’t British or have had a labotemy ❤
Lee, you missed the big news, the new tram service is opening to Blackpool North Railway Station, next week I think.
yes you could i worked at pontins in the 70s we always went around the pleasure beach with out paying ,its a resort now i think,h ramsdens was from guiseley
Blackpool now is blessed with bollards of peace.
The sound editing on the carpet is incredible Lee 😊
Hi Lee, the actor in Roller coaster was George Segal, from Mark in South Wales.
Brilliant Lee im not able to go this year first year ive missed in the last 6 yeah that ice cream is amazing but never did the donut combo i bet it was brilliant i will miss it big time this year, but onwards my friend.
Yes you could walk around the pleasure beach, I use to cut through after ice skating and have a quick go on the log flume, apparently the pleasure Beach isn't doing so well, I think the prices are too high, it's putting people off going
Great Video Lee
Really enjoyed the vlog Lee
Blackpool looks very sad & rundown now. 🙁
@lido6457 It is!
How come you aren't like 25 stone with the amount of fish & chips white bread and curry sauce you eat 😂
I was thinking the exact same!!
I hate having fish n chips in a restaurant setting because they taste like what you could make at home. There is something about having it salt and vinegared for you and then wrapped in paper and left for a ten min car journey that gives it all the flavour.
Harry Ramsdens always said they made their own chips,but I worked for mccain foods and we produced chilled chips for them.
Wouldn't that cost more than them just making them themselves 😮
Hollywood stars signatures , hot doughnuts 🍩 and ice cream 🍦. What more could we ask for ?!?!?😅
Blackpool pleasure beach, if you don't pre book your tickets and just pay on the gate,an adult is £50 !!! (How Much)
Yes years ago pleasure beach you could walk straight in .
Also, love the way you recall the salt shaker from your parent's. Your mum seemed like a lovely person, Lee 🙂
Cooked in Beef Dripping right? Much better than the toxic seed oils.
Harry Ramsden there was one in guiseley outside of Leeds but its now the Wetherby whaler
Great video
Was there 60 years ago for the lights from down south remember the fish & chips, now live in NZ can’t get close to UK fish & chips never mind, great video brings back memories
Great vlog macmaster nice to see chris higgitt and mr candy
great vlog lee, agree about not being able to say anything these days , now im going to watch LOVE THY NEIGHBOUR, controveversial , lol
hi lee. the pleasure beach had open access until around 2008 then they sealed it and you had to pay five quid to enter. a mate of mine, sadly now dead, worked in the treasury dept. he said a month after the charge started they laid off half the security staff. the charge stopped druggies, drug dealers, vandals , feral street kids, pickpockets, thieves , handbag thieves etc. from going in and security had little to do.
Last time I was in Blackpool was last year for the air show in August.Highly recommend and it's free! When looking for a chippy everywhere was heaving apart from.... Harry Ramsdens it put me off going in wondering whats gone wrong?
We visited Blackpool last month and it's so rundown. I think its had it's day. Skegness is the place to be now 👍
That looked mouth wateringly amazing! 😋😋😋 I am soooo jealous: and whenever I get the chance, I'm gonna have that delicious double whammy of Mr. Whippy and donuts recreated! Well done you for promoting a beautiful English seaside town 🥰🥳🎉🎊
Another great video. I am glad you clarified your little admission about going in and out of the back door at Sarah's. It's a family channel after all!
WHENEVER VISITING A NEW PLACE
IT IS BEST TO HAVE AN ICE-BREAKER
''WHICH LOCAL LOOKS MOST LIKE HITLER AROUND HERE???''
Yeah, you had used to be able to walk around the Pleasure Beach free of charge but they started going for paid admission around twenty years ago.
2009
Great vlog , when you said donut or icecream I said to Steve donut and icecream together . Can't believe you've never tried it before been having that from Blackpool for years. And I don't have sugar in tea, but I do in Blackpool got to have a bit of sugaring my tea with my fish and chips 😊
I dread to think what's in the £1 burgers!!!! 🤮
A burger most likely 😆
Everything that the butcher can't sell. 🤢
The grease on his tea 👕 is hanging.😢😅😅😅
@@chrisjames5188 😆
Brilliant vlog
Nice One Lee .
Wait...what no Monkeys ? When I was a child they used to have them at the beach
Great video Lee. Good to see Iron Maiden fan too 😀.
We in the UK born & bred here can't say what we like anymore! Bollocks I do!! New sub love your channel Sir!
I visited Blackpool one day, it was closed
In our local Wimpey bar, donut & ice cream was called a Brown Derby
That fish looks lush mate 👌🏴
Great to see you back in Blackpool again
Love Blackpool and Love watching you mate ❤
Harry Ramsdens started in Guisley nr Leeds, the latest restaurant and takeaway they built is still in use today but is now Wetherby Whaler.
And that place is rubbish, totally disgusted with that place. A waste of money.
Them doughnuts and ice cream looked lovely who would of thought that . they both went together what a game changer .. I enjoyed that vlog as well xxx❤x
Hi My partner and I go to Blackpool every year and we absolutely love it. Never had fish and chips there but we will now 😊👍
Hi Macmaster will you be in Blackpool Between the 1st and 5th of July ?
Hi Unfortunately not. Have a fantastic time.
Awww been waiting for a Mcmaster Blackpool vlog for ages yeeey
I tried Harry Ramsden in Skeg once. They had run out of battered sausages! I was not impressed already when the chips arrived. I don't understand the hype.
At 9:05 mins in the background You can see one of the best Ice cream places in Blackpool. Notarianni. 🙂
There is a Cod Father here in Dover, Cherrytree Avenue. But I have never tried it. I tend to stick to the local brand I grew up in Deal and Walmer. Walmer Chippie on the Strand is the best. The best Cafe Breakfast is The Bandstand Cafe on The Strand in Walmer.
Cracking video … Lee … not sure I could handle the do- nuts … looked gorgeous though … 👏🙂👏
Just playing catch up again mate. Those fish and chips looked amazing as did the curry sauce. Just over £15 for all that which included the curry, mushy peas, bread & butter, and tea is a good deal. 10/10. All day.
Loved them doughnuts and ice cream together too. I personally would opt for the strawberry sauce but looked amazing regardless. Never had the 2 together either before. Can't beat fresh seasde doughnuts. Better than all these established shops around now and supermarket ones etc.
Great video again Lee and cheers for sharing👍
enjoyed you're vlog Lee food looked great donuts & ice cream 👍👍👍👍 got to be a 10
Grest vlog Lee looks good fish & chips 👍
There is a nice fish n chips in Blackpool called `The Sea fisheries` directly over road from Central Pier should give them a try if you haven`t already done so
Had to laugh Lee. The girls behind the counter seemed mesmerised at you eating. Looks great in that fish and chip cafe.
Deffo gonna try that Mr Whipy on donuts wow 😊
The original Harry Ramsdens was in Guiseley, right on the roundabout. It's still there but I think it's a Weatherby whaler now. The famous chippy in Skipton is Bizzie Lizzie's
A interesting Blackpool video Lee, i must try a coupla doughnuts with a squirt of Mr Whippy ice cream soon 😋 Au
Looks very tasty 😋 indeed onwards my friends enjoy the rest of your evening lee👍
