I lived in Blackpool for 6 months, coldest place in the world. But if you work night shifts like me and want to sing karaoke or watch a Frank Sinatra tribute act at 9 o'clock on a Tuesday morning it was a fun place.
Went to Lytham a few times on a night out, place is swarming with sweater neck knotted pretentious pricks who put on fake scouse accents and then look down their noses at you when you open your mouth. Enjoyed ruining a few millionaire's daughters during my brief acquaintance with the place though. Used to make one girl dress up in her riding gear to open the door to me. I have a thing about riding gear, it's sexy and the thought of a thousand Ruby Walsh losing bets gets me to the finish line without sparing the whip.
Blackpool is cold. Scottish people go there on holiday. I rest my case.
