It would be nice if they could get the real grand piano attachment working again. So much better than that clanking clattering thing that sounds so much out of place!

@wordsmith52 Yes; Thw Queens English, sometimes called Received Pronunciation was de rigeur in the BBC right from the corporation's inception up until the mid 60s. Regarding the various BBC stations I almost forgot to mention The Third Programme brought into service at the end of the 1940s. T...

@silverstartrucker Thank you! On second thoughts I think the wartime BBC Station was called The GENERAL Forces programme. I remember I was listening to MWYW during my mid-term school holiday on February 6th 1952 when the programme was faded out to announce the death of King George VI. I thin...

@silverstartrucker The Light Programme did not exist until 1946. Its predecessor was The National Forces Programme which ran throughout the wartime years. Music While You Work ran for many years after the war and in its later years there was also an afternoon edition at 3-45pm such was its popu...

Blackpool Pleasure Beach - The Whip
The Whip ride in Blackpool Pleasure Beach, 2002. This ride was left to rust away, and then removed in 2008.
@kenbigley I thought It was older than that dating back to circa 1914. It was designed and built by a guy called Joseph Mengel. It did far better when it was on the main drag at the pleasure beach. When it was moved to its last site there (a backwater) it was fitted at considerable expense wi...

@HilaryHughes No. A half-hearted attempt was made to sell Bobs, but not surprisingly it met with no success, not least because dismantling and re-erecting the structure would have been an impossible task. No sale meant a rush into demolition. Nothng of any significance replaced Bobs. The com...

@HilaryHughes When Belle Vue advertised Bobs for sale it was rather wishful thinking. There was no way the wooden structure could have been dismantled and reassembled like a giant Meccano model. It wasn't built that way! The only way Bobs could have reappeared elsewhere would have been by a...

@Mbarnardexperience So it was said...but that was just a bit of typical Blackpool Pleasure publicity hype. Like a sign that appeared on various rides over the years stating "Any riders with heart problems must be accompanied by a nurse!" Risible!

@john4bears No; the swing doesn't move AT ALL. Only the room moves. Some operators work it better than others by swinging the room from side to side and gradually increasing the movement until the room rotates entirely. Others rotate the room right away thus ruining the effect. Doing it pro...

Visit and Welcome to Blackpool - Blackpool-Ballroom - John Bowdler on the Tower Wurlitzer- Dancing
Welcome to Blackpool Tower Ballroom. Many Thanks to Michael and Angela Hayton for the shots of The Tower Ballroom and their Dancing School in action.
@Gillyyorkie It says: 'Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear' It's a line from Shakespeare's poem Venus and Adonis. Round about line 150 if you want to take a look.

I wish they would get the proper grand piano attachment working again. Blackpool Council who now own the tower could easily afford to do so. That awful electronic thing sounds appalling.
