which holiday to choose?

hello, I have been offered a month in Australia or 2 nights in Blackpool,
Lancashire, England. Does anyone know both of theses places and feel able to
recommend which would be most fun. I am a young married family with 6
children ranging in age from the youngest right up to the oldest. Also there
are grandparents (no longer alive) and many pets (all staying at home)> I
have severl pairs of shorts, sun-hat, binoculars and a crossword puzzle
book.

Mate, if you need to ask the question, then you would
definitely be much better off in Blackpool for 2 days.

From your addy I suspect it will be a shorter walk as well.


Cheers, Alan, Australia

And you live under a bridge no doubt.

Troll rating 6/10 a fair attempt but ultimately unconvincing

For me its a no-brainer.
Having lived in Australia for the last 50 years, another month here is no
big deal.
But I've never been to Blackpool ...

Definitely Blackpool. You won't get Blackpool rock in Australia. And chip
butties and deep fried mars bars aren't common either. You'll rarely need
shorts in Blackpool and the sun-hat is completely useless there. Cross
word puzzle books aren't useful here in Oz because we antipodeans aren't
literate and don't have any dictionaries to look up the answers. Besides we
have horrible snakes (which devour tourists whole in one gulp), drop bears
and poisonous spiders and stingers and sharks and crocodiles, and and an
enorrmous female Immigration Minister who locks up innocent tourists in
detention centres, before sending them back home five years later. Come to
think of that, you might like one of those places, they're just like Butlins
Holiday camps.

Or better still go up the coast a bit to Morecambe and take a long walk
across the sands just before the tide comes in.
