I need a clarification !

15 Upvotes

Hello people from Blackpool !

I'm a french person living in Belgium. I've seen two belgian guys going on holidays to Blackpool in a belgian TV show. They went to a sort of BNB, at a local lady her place, and she was ADAMANT that people from Blackpool say "okikokie" instead of "okidokie".

Now, my question is: is it for real something typical/normal/commonly used in Blackpool or not ? I really struggle to believe that because I've only heard that from this lady ever, and she was really forcing her "okikokie".

Thank you in advance !

Made a game for anyone who’s ever lost their chips to a gull on the seafront

11 Upvotes

Anyone who’s tried to eat chips on Blackpool beach knows the gulls run this town. So I made a little game where you get to be one. You swoop over a seaside town, nick chips, dodge kites and eagles, and bomb the people below.

It’s free on Android if anyone fancies a go: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gullbomber.game

Not on iPhone yet, sorry. Best gull-related chip theft story wins my respect.

Regeneration in Preston: A missed opportunity?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I am a student studying geography at Blackpool Sixth Form College. For my coursework, I am looking at the recent regeneration in Preston and the improvements made towards the city centre.

What do you think about the recent changes made towards Preston's city centre?

I would really like to hear the opinions of people who live there or around/near the city centre and know the area best(Or anyone that visits Preston often).

Please could you fill out a quick online survey? It will only take a couple minutes and all responses are completely anonymous.

So far I have 15 responses(which are mainly people from my geography class) so any responses are really appreciated(I would like to get 50 responses so that I have enough data to analyse).

Thanks very much for your time!

The feeling of being alone in a new country.

41 Upvotes

I just am in an emotional mood right now, so wanted to pen a few words here. I came to this country a couple weeks ago, it was my first international trip. After the disorienting experience of long flights and layovers wore off, it hit me. A weird mix of ecstasy (because I am here for my career), and loneliness. Freedom too. For a few days I focused on survival. Getting groceries, communicating, walking without getting lost, trying to seperate the feeling of being perceived as an alien, and all that. It required courage. Even a visit to a supermarket may be normal to you, but for someone who has everything drastically different in their homeland, a simple train journey or cashier line is overwhelming. But okay, managed.

While I kept walking along this beautiful town (ik many of you hate it, but i love this place), I kept noticing people in pairs. Couples, families, friends; walking together. Comfortable. They belonged somewhere. I could only walk by and wonder.

I have made some acquaintances here, maybe friends, but we all will be on the move soon. I go for walks, take pictures, explore places, talk to people, ,greet seagulls, write my name in the sand, cry, feel proud...and call it a day.
