Stephen was a very good sport. He's a heck of a nice guy.

Bad sport Lee. Stephen comes across as a top bloke . Lets hope this gets him even more followers.

I went on a ride in Blackpool some 40 odd years ago, I think it was called "The Grand National". Strapped to a plastic horse, was going hell for leather over a bunch of houses, realized the straps weren't really doing that much for safety. That was the first time I recited the Lord's prayer and really meant it. Fun vid guys. No sprouts in the Christmas Dinner yesterday has to be addressed. Cheers.

I haven't been to Blackpool for about 20 years, now I remember why.

You are very funny together😂 10/10 for the acting!! ❤❤

Absolutely love, love, love this video! You are the Master of editing Lee! Love the music, the snow gently falling, everything! You are so clever and I appreciate the extra time you put in. The Christmas market looked lovely and the Booster ride had me going "Oh my god!" Lol. My favourite vlog so far! Excellent. Well done! ❤

Poor stephen on that ride wot a sport he was great to see you together in blackpool

Hi Lee and Stephen, it was awesome seeing you both. I will never forget that moment of being deep in thought wresting with a problem and looking up and seeing you both. You really made my month, thanks guys and thank you both for what you do. See you soon. Cheers Paul :)

The best thing about Blackpool, is that it never changes. The worst thing about Blackpool, is that it never changes.

That was very cruel what you did , just hope he hasn't been put off by filming with you again and you found it soo funny , bet he was fuming when he got home poor Stephen

That new hotel might like to rethink its underground car park plans? given the current problems with a certain type of vehicle.

My default setting tends to be 'misrable git' but this video had me smiling ear to ear, two great blokes in the Autumn of their lives having a great laugh, and what a great sport Stephen is!...Thanks for a great feel good video Lee! 😄👍

I totally agree about the architecture Lee, that’s the main reason why I like Blackpool, I used to stay at the Savoy because of that reason but the last time I went it was a bit run down, I also like the Winter Gardens. Plus the North pier, even the hand rails are Victorian, weathered but original.

Well done Stephen

We booked a short break in Blackpool after your last visit. The central point was to be the Tram ride with fish & chips. We booked it, a bargain at £15 each, and off we went. The day before the planned trip we had an email from the tram operator cancelling the trip. No explanation, just 'operational reasons'. We tried to revisit some old favourites but so many places are now closed down and derelict. Blackpool is now a squalid dump, full of drunks and people openly using drugs in the street. Streets were filthy too. Even the illuminations are a pale shadow of what they were. Sorry but Blackpool is finished unless you are on a stag/hen party. Nothing left to visit for. We won't be going back.

I had a similar issue. Booked on the tram ride with Fish and Chips and was cancelled

The hotel in phoenix nights was called La Ponderosa Great video PMSL 😂

The stars of Coronation Street switched on the illuminations in 1983, when I was on holiday there with my Grandparents. Annie Walker switched on the lights with a beer pump! The cast then toured the lights on a tram, which we spotted on our way back to the digs. Alf Roberts waved at my Nan, which was a talking point for the rest of her life. Rita actress Barbara Knox has just turned 90, and to celebrate, ITV took her for a ride on a Heritage tram, with my friend Bradley at the controls! Actually, Bradley's parents used to own the Lyric, one of the hotels that were demolished to make way for the new hotel, came at the right time for them, as they were of retiring age.

Great video and Stephen was a great sport. Think you should go in the starflyer though! Everytime you film comedy quotes in the comedy carpet I'm half expecting you to edit 'onwards my friends' onto it lol

You had me laughing with those thumbnails. Poor Steven hes such a good sport and so knowledgeable on Blackpool. You should have gone on that ride with him lol 😂

Used to go to Blackpool regularly after the in law’s moved there more than 40 years ago from Birmingham. Kids used ride donkeys, the lights, fish and chips etc. Father in law used to work on the trams. We stayed at an hotel on the sea front one Christmas and I recall high winds as we ate our dinner. We saw something fall off the hotel through dining room window which hit a car that was parked next to mine! It would have been cheaper and warmer to have gone abroad. Lol

I was born just up the road, in St Annes. I remember my Dad coming home from his Xmas day lunchtime pint, in absolute hysterics. One bloke had stayed in the pub too long, so 😊his wife delivered his dinner, to the tap room....and threw it at him! 😂

My memories of Blackpool the best bit is the road out

The hotel name in Phoenix nights was la Ponderosa they had jim bowen running it

Love Blackpool, proper seaside feel to it. Great video with Stephen, fancy leaving him on the ride, funny though lol 😂

Hi Lee thank you for the video it was very good.and I am coming up for the Xmas and new year

Nice one lads getting Steven on the ride brilliant 🤣🇬🇧✌️

Can't believe last 3 days me and the Mrs have been in the exact places as you 2 and the day we decided on Lytham before driving home we miss ya 😢 gutted!! Hope youv both had a great time we had a brilliant week sad to leave 😩❤

I loved the rides at Blackpool when I was a lad, but at the age of 86, I think I'll give them a miss lol.

We did NYE last year in Blackpool as a family and went to a show and stayed over, great atmosphere 😊

I do love blackpool hopefully get there soon inbetween holidays to benidorm lol. Fancy letting stephen go on that ride on his own but to be fair id much rather my feet stayed on terra ferma as much as possible. Great video as always! 👍

I was wetting myself laughing at the Booster ride, poor Stephen,Lee youre so cruel 😠🤣🤣

Morecame wasn't too bad, my parents took us there several times in the late 70's early 80's .... ahh memories of Heysham Head holiday park...

Back in the eighties, I used to work with a guy who took his family to Blackpool every Christmas! I'll be up there on Saturday 30th December for the Fylde Tramway Society Christmas Tour!

Lee macmaster your very naughty I deffo thought you would both get on the ride or at least the spinny starflyer at least nice review and history lesson

Nice one. Great vlog.

Hi lee great video love blackpool myself nice too see Stephen back on mate !!!!

Walk on the wild side o the ride....brilliant..❤

12:00 - 2;00 as I recall - and pop round to your mates for an early sherry from their parents - "yes please Mrs ?? - happy Christmas.."

So comical your both great youtubers I laughed my head off

Naughty macmaster😲, well done Stephen on the ride. Brave soul you are loved it 😍

I really enjoyed this video Lee great job history fun and food wat more could you ask for wonderful 😊

Great vlog Lee. A big thumbs up 👍 👍 to Stephen for being a great sport 👏 well done that man,l would have gone for the Currywurst myself. Many thanks Lee and Stephen for a entertaining and informative vlog regarding Blackpool many thanks Richard and Tanya from Southampton ❤

It was definitely still the Lyndene 25 years ago as I used to drive my late parents there every year and pick them up a week later.

Christmas Markets are pitched at mug buyers. Their mission statement is "Never give a sucker an even break"

Great vlog Lee. So good to see Paul the renegade councilor!love your videos with Stephen. Merry Xmas from Oz.

I used to spend a lot of time in blaqckpool in the 70s and 80s befor it tried to go more upmarket. i think i prefered the old days. great video lee

My experiences of British Xmas Market, rip off prices & tat. Food always a rip off £8 for a Currywurst, the Gluhwein would probably be equally as sad as well! My judgment is clouded slightly by the fact that I’ve served in Germany a couple of times during my 24yrs in the Army & a couple of visits there after!! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love the videos you do with Stephen

When I was around 12/13 we had a lad that used to hang around with us, we planned to go to the ABC cinema let him pay first then we all ran off, I still see this lad around town, 40 odd years later & still feel guilty, his name was also Stephen 😢

Also I think the lyndene was called La Ponderosa in phoenix nights 👍

I went there myself with wife last Sunday, we met up with some family. My niece in law works behind the scenes on Strictly come prancing, she was there Wednesday to Sunday. It was raining and the sea was ferocious on Sunday 😂 I had a Krakauer sausage too, it was only a bit spicy but damn tasty, I had it without the bun. We grabbed some cheese too from that cheese stall. Yep everything was quite expensive Lee.

The new Laurel and Hardy 😂 I really enjoyed this Thanks

Mister Macmaster! Gotta hand it to Ste for being so bloody knowledgeable about Blackpool 😊 these Christmas Markets are just way over priced things that they wouldn't heg away with except for the silly season that is Christmas! How much for a sausage on a bun 🤔 😮😮really grest watch when you 2 are mooching around Blackpool ❤🎉

Well MM, I just ordered a 2024 Chevy High Country 4dr truck.....got every option except for sunroof....too hot and sunny here to use that...2024 comes with sport exhaust so no need to order cat bak bora exhaust.....got a match painted hard cover tonneau cover, new auto adjust suspension, 22in machined wheels, two color leather, hi flow air filter, full tow to 13000lbs, rear flip gate, 5g wifi, lifetime oil changes,.........with ttl 71k out the door My 21 ltz has 23k miles so time to flip, 53k trade value but I sold for 57k...... Will not be here till Dec 23 but you should hear the one I drove or the one I have now......nothing like that 6.2l v8.....Cheers

Oh heck I booked the Norbreck it was a right wreck and a really long trek 😂😂😂 OK ill stop now mad moment came upon me

It's not only Blackpool any Xmas market inmy view is a total rip off. What you can buy in a normal shop is twice the price or more at any Xmas market

I have fond memories of Blackpool. I recall my father-in-law said to the inlaws there's a dog that just bit a man in the leg across the road, are you going to accuse me of that as well.. Trying to think why we called it Nagsville when visiting the inlaws! :-) There was a fish and chip shop on Lytham Road I used to visit and in Thornton Cleavley's. A pub called The Manchester was a good place to visit if you enjoy the company of people spoiling for a fight I'm told! It was very warm and calm one evening. I saw a young lady on roller skates along the seafront. If you closed your eyes you could imagine yourself in California! Happy days. 😀

There was an urban myth about swingers too, pampas grass in the front garden indicates you are a swinger. It grows on big stalks.....oooh matron !!!! 😛

Sunshine indoors with Jim Bowen.

I just had to Google ‘swinging hotel Blackpool’ and it turns out that there are many lol, it’s the swinging capital of the UK. Now there’s a future VLOG Lee.

If you had conned me into that ride. We would have had serious words.

superb big man

Oh no! Your channel has played the first Christmas tune this year and it's still November! Damn.

Here's an idea Lee. Go to a good Chippy and learn how to cook Fish & Chip from a professional. Will give you a better understanding of what's wrapped in your newspaper, (I wish).

The swingers hotel is called Paradise.. watched a documentary on it afew years back - very interesting place 😅

Brilliant I'll b there in a couple of days, it's the place that never let's you down something for everyone. Absolutely luv 👍 Blackpool ❤️

Me and the wife were in Blackpool for the Turkey and Tinsel week at the Claremont Hotel. Went with eight others , so a good time had by all. I didn’t know know this channel, but a friend who subscribes spotted me and wife on this video (very briefly). I did ride the Booster (alone), but didn’t do the Star Flyer as it wasn’t operating on that particular day.

The Norbreck Castle is a Britannia and the one's near me have channel migrants

Shame you had to put a negative spin on this. Christmas by the Sea just gets better every year. I went myself and the atmosphere is amazing. Love your energy though and you certainly bring a different side out in Stephen. Use the force wisely my friend ( yoda ).

Plus an old boat from the 1700s parked beside the pier ,

I think you’re leading Stephen astray! 😂

Benny hill eat ya heart out ! 😂🤣😂

Hi Steve and Mac. that was great entertainment, love you two together❤ Steve needs a bit of tlc after that nasty fall he had the other day. He's a good sport. Fish and chips looked good. 8/10, bit pricey!! ❤❤

Well the sausages looked good but as there charging top dollar you would think that they would provide brand name tomato sauce and mustard not that cheap crap from Farmfoods £1 a big bottle I believe

Love ya videos lee make me laugh ya such funny bugger 😅keep up with good work and hope you and ya family have lovely Christmas 🎄 😊
