i don't live in morcombe but i think this one persons cynical criticisms are too much. i live not far from morcombe though in blackpool and tourism just isnt what it once was either due to recession or the families going elsewhere because of the piss artist outings and poor maintenance by local councils. its a shame. southport, morcombe and blackpool are all in decline. they should all enter a joint venture to bring back the families to seaside resorts.
I no longer live in morecambe,but i can say that i lived many many happy years of my life there!I have millions of wonderfull memories of my old home town as a kid.A few facts for the man who made this!Im more than sure that most people in most places like to have a drink whenever they like!ALL DAY breakfasts have been going for a long time and can are served all over the country,And another point,there was never a shooting gallery at super kids speedway.There would be no eric morecambe without!
Ian Martin you are a complete DICK. Live here for a while understand who all the smackheads are and where there from. Bradford Liverpool Scotland all these places advertised in there local rags to come and spend there dole by the sea back in the 90S and they never left. Then you get all the migrete workers taking all the work. The cockle workers were here without work visa's rapeing our cockle beds for out of town gang bosses. And our council pumps all the money into near by Lancaster. U CUNT
I just came back from morecambe and it was extremely friendly and so relaxing, I have never been so relaxed and happy in a long time. It really is a beautiful place full of character and I was so sad to say goodbye to it
What did Morecambe ever do to you? One thing I can say about Morecambe that eclipses all the horrible parts is that you look over the bay at the amazing view of the Lake District and it makes you feel privileged to view such beauty.
Just as well the English Tourist Board don't use this in their adverts.It is pretty damning and makes the place look like a bit of shit hole. I WAS looking forward to coming down to Morecambe for a week in July but........!
Good work. I love Morecambe, but mainly just the place that it is underneath all the buildings and "regeneration" tat (what about a bit of honest generation?). I think that Poulton, Heysham, Torrisholme and Bare are particularly strong in vibe and still carry a bit of atmosphere from when they were little villages.
Heavy sarcasm I agree but isn't that usual for Morecambe (and mostof the North)? I thought it was pretty funny in a super dry way.
Prime example of a town forgotten by the rest of the country and the government... no money put into Morecambe, just winos and violence. maybe if there was a bit more consideration about Britains towns of the past we wouldn't all have to leave Morecambe. As it is though, I did, along with many others!
By the way Ian Martin, your style of presenting is banal. Sarcastic not in a funny way but in a horrifically pompous and disrespectful way. This town has been left to rot, it's very sad!
Everyone "Loves Where They Live" otherwise they wouldn't live their , or at least be in the know to want to move - and OBVIOUSLY - the narrator doe's not live in Morecambe and has not seen it go through it's changes , and so cannot respect it in it's own right . I
I first moved here in 1977 when it was thriving with HOLIDAY MAKERS AND A BUSY AND WANTED PLACE TO VISIT . . .
You are a pompous prat. talk about finding all the worse bits and being as negative as possible!! I've been all over this country and seen a hell of a lot worse places to live! probably where you come from!! How to make friends and influence people!NOT
I love Morecambe the views and the people who live at Morecambe. The Grove Restaurante is the best seaside cafe I have ever been in. Can you tell us where you live mate? I will come and make a scanky video about that
morecambe is a great place and I love it . I love the views and spend most of my spare time at Morecambe. Where do you live mate? I will make a nasty film about that
You cant beat the view though in Morecambe, stunning. As someone who lives in the Lake District i get fed up with snide and stuck up opinions on Morecambe, i forgive it for its problems, it is a great little place!! Nob.
fuck off you posh cunt, there is more to the west end then cheap smack, its cunts like you who forget about these places and make them rot, long live morecambe
Love the commentary, I lived in Mcbe for 20 years on and off. It was shit then, and it's still shit. The West End and Central Mcbe are horrible, they feel even worse than in the 90's.
Drinking, drugs, swearing, obesity, plug-ugly faces, tattoos and roll-ups.....and the lads are nearly as bad!!! Single-parent families everywhere thanks to cheap alcohol giving the lads beer goggles. No wonder the place is fucked.
And where do you live azz? Morecambe's a great place spoilt by those who don't belong infesting the place. I guess you're a doley who sits in a scanky bedsit in the West End?
5 years ago i wass at the Wasted punk festival ive been there for 4 days but i like the place and the bay i have picture,s about the market arena the dome and carlton ( if these are the right names ) and i was in a pub with at the oppesite of the street a statue of a guy i thought it wads a writer, only a shitty hotel don,t know the name anymore but morecambe is cool .
and btw midlandhotel looks gay now its build yeah but the thing is that i hate the color inside maybey its ncie but i hate the color its all white it looks like crematorium trust me!
I live in morecambe and lancaster council have taken away too much and cut spending for the midland hotel to suddenly regerenerate the town seems unlikey. It's had its heyday
wtf is up with u. get a life. u need to update your review. the midland hotel is now refurbished and now a 5 star hotel, the beach has got new sand and many more
No way! A video from two years ago shows how it was two years ago? Burn the time-travelling witches. I saw that clip of Morecambe in 1901 you know. It disgusted me; I flagged it.
I remember going to the Midlands as a kid before it shut down, then following it on with a trip to Frontierland. Back in the early 90's Morecambe was the place to be. Now it kind of isn't.
What makes people think that a regenerated Midland hotel will bring back Morecambes glory days? I have in front of me a full page article from the Independant Newspaper on the Regeneration of the Midland which was printed in 1990 during the first major regeneration of the Midland. It did not work then but will it now. Nice commentary by the way.
