Well plans to go to the TVRCC Back Home event at Blackpool went well until about an hour ago.

Anyone know of anywhere I might be able to get a room (short notice ) in Blackpool this Saturday.. Preferably around the North Shore.

I doubt it, and after finding that under 18s are not allowed in the Hilton (despite being told I will be able to get in by someone at the time) I need an alternative.. Someone who will let a lowlife scum under-18 into their establishment for a night..
Not expecting much really, and if I cannot find anything then it looks like there is a Factory Tour ticket @ 11am going and a Ticket for the Sat Night event. Once again, short notice but there you go..

Mood:

Yes, I should have checked the age limit. Stupid git.
Dave.

Try the Norbreck Castle.

We used to have to stay there for a trade show every October in the mid 80s. It was unquestionably the worst hotel ive ever stayed at. So bad it was almost ironic.

Just take your mum and then you can get a room

It wasn't Simon who told you to say that, was it?

Still no luck I'll try some of the ones above..
Just got back from a 1500m sprint to calm myself down these things really irritate me..
When I have been alive for a total of 18 years, only then will I have enough life experience to check into a hotel, sleep, pay bill, leave.

So long as you have a credit card I don't see the problem. How are they going to know how old you are?

Two PHers have just emailled names/numbers of hotels/B+Bs that will let me in! Booked and sorted now, and that is why I love PH so much!

Thanks everyone (Chris + Russ)

You can drive, marry, have kids, give your life in the army, have a job, buy a house, but you aren't old enough to check into a hotel????????? Jeez, this country has some strange ideas.

Dave, YHText.

Also I appear to have accidentally uploaded some large photos onto your site, and I can't like to them properly. Can you resize them?
