The sanctimony doesn't really work here, Jez. It really is like Viz in real life. And what's wrong with Viz?
I went into a souvenir shop to find my kids laughing out loud at this:
It really is a spectacle, worthy of discussion and a laugh.
That reminds me of when I was about 4 being taken there by my parents. At some point I saw a souvenir shop with a little pottery model toilet which said “rest your arse in Blackpool.” Well I really wanted it, I screamed and cried and stomped my feet and just couldn’t understand why they were so opposed to my having such a fascinating object.
The other strong memory I have of that trip was that the train from Manchester stopped just outside Blackpool to wait for a signal, and where it stopped there was a huge sign advertising Hovis. I was totally sure that Hovis was a town, a district of Blackpool.
