Blackpool


I have a real soft spot for Blackpool having spent many holidays there as a kid.

I was amazed to find this box containing a bottle of whisky in Avignon (Yes France) of all places.

So I bought it for my mum.


Unfortunately, when I visited last year, Blackpool didn't quite live up to the classy image on the box.



There's always a way out.

But I still love it.

  1. Is there a connection between Blackpool and blended scotch whiskey?


    PS: Is it OK to link to this blog?

    None.
    Blackpool is a working class seaside resort.
    I have no idea why the French used it as an example of chic sophistication.
    I would be delighted if you gave me a link.
    Thanks. X
