Travel Tips for Blackpool
Tackiness central
by sourbugger
In this age when everyone is obsessed by 'image', Blackpool council has jumped on the bandwagon and is desperately trying to update Blackpool's somewhat old-fashioned image.
Their thought police (sorry council inspectors) are encouraging shop owners to tidy up their act and remove the tackiest of their stock of souveniers. This is daft, in most people's books Blackpool=Tackiness, it should be their U.S.P !
In another move they are trying to get rid of their stock of council owned deckchairs (renting out up to 8,000 a day) and replacing them with sun loungers (surely that presupposses the existence of sun ?)
This is madness. In the words of Brian Hunt (found on a website discussing the matter) :
I wonder which management consultancy gave them that advice?
"Deck chairs are a brilliant example of design. They are cheap to manufacture and take up little storage space. As low technolgy products they can easily be manufactured in the local area and provide local employment. The economic working life of a deckchair will be greater than that of the sunlounger.
'And what about consumer perception?:
Fish and chips, knotted hanky on the head and a deckchair - bloody luxury!!. Leave the sunbeds to the southern pansys! "
