Hippopotamus? An explanation for non-British readers: Blackpool = Las Vegas on a very very tight budget and without any of the class (you get my drift). Think noise, lights, sweets and icecream galore ; Morecambe = the sort of place you can make the old joke about ‘I went to Morecambe once, it was shut.’ Used to be a fashionable seaside resort. Isnt any longer.Now famous for cockle picking and dangerous tides.
