The No brek h tel could do with a bit of TLC inside and out. The oldest computer on show was probably 20 years younger than the decor.

A couple of weeks ago I was planning to go to this. Any excuse to go to the brilliantly awful (yes, I said brilliantly awful) town of Blackpool, which I visit every year, not just for retrogaming purposes. But I've already been to Blackpool this summer and I've got to look after the pennies leading up to
Christmas, so, reluctantly, I had to give this weekend a miss.

I did pop by during a long walk into Bispham and am pleased the usually dreadful Norbreck Castle Hotel (run by the, er, rather questionable ) had the outside in the middle of a fairly decent paint job. Looked far better than [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWEvMe5UJno]when I was last there, in 2019.

The inside is still crumbling, stained and generally awful. Typical Britannia Hotels behaviour, sadly.
