Lol. That was my hope. But Scarborough is a class act in comparison. When not in comparison, Scarborough is also a bit of a shithole.As a kid, in the sixties, it was cheap and cheerful. The beach has good sand, none of yer pebbly Southern shite. But it's been a dump for a generation or more now. Not been since before I got married, nearly 29 years ago. Mrs P-T keeps suggesting we go, just for a laugh, but she's from Yorkshire so she's imagining something like Scarborough but facing the other way. There's no way I'd stay overnight.
I reckon, at a guess, 20% of the beach front businesses are not open. Much more on the roads behind. The hotel owner says the big issue now is staff; here one minute, cautionarily isolating for ten days the next.It hung on to the dying embers of British seaside holidaying after the reliability of the weather and the novelty of Spain established itself. I suppose their customers are dying out now and the type of attractions they’re offering are not of much interest to young people. Covid is a big business opportunity though.
There's absolutely loads of Scottish people here right now.Scots week is in September.
Do they still come in hordes and take over the town?
I'm intrigued as to the occasional respectable looking asian, possibly indian, families I keep seeing. Slimmer, in nice conservative colourful clothing, tastefully made up. No false lashes, tats or tits showing, no swearing. They look cleaner and healthier.
But what are they doing here?
Glasgow Rangers supposed to have been playing Blackpool in a friendly tomorrow night. Postponed due to one or more Blackpool players testing positive apparently.There's absolutely loads of Scottish people here right now.

Unfortunately correct. I used to like Scarborough, but the local council seem to have gone awol. Not a bit of a shithole now though, it's a complete shithole.
Fish and chips from Bispham or Cleveley’s kitchen
Absolutely!Lol. That was my hope. But Scarborough is a class act in comparison. When not in comparison, Scarborough is also a bit of a shithole.
