    Just banter Joe.

    Sadly our experience of Britain's iconic seaside holiday resort missed the mark by a long way.

    A wonderful place to visit, not Blackpool.

    To me, it's just too busy and expensive now. Give me peace and quiet with a view.

    I know, even I would rather swim in the sea off Palawan than at Blackpool. However, even thou' it looks crystal clear at Palawan, I wonder what's in it ?

    Septic tanks are often not sealed at floor level and are too near to high tide.. The tide comes up and takes the bacteria with it.
    These days they are really strict with the 3-chamber system but until they sort out the older systems I can only see these problems getting worse.

    Fortunately, where we are, there are not too many resorts with unsustainable septic tanks.

    Might be different in Alona though?

    Ii`ll say no more.

    Blackpool has lost its greatest asset...the TVR factory.
