Blackpool's amateur publication The​ Evening Gazette caught our attention today with a lengthy and detailed article about a thuggish attack in Blackpool. But this wasn't just your typical Blackpool brawl - incredibly the victim was a peer of the realm! From The Gazette 'Lord' Perry Harber, who "has a vast portfolio of nightclubs and bars and regularly holidays in Monaco" according to the Gazette article, claims he was hit over the head from behind with a full bottle of vodka by a gang in an alleyway behind Dickson Road, Blackpool on January 1st this year.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So says an old proverb.

But there is much, much more to the town, so here are 15 things that you won't know about Cleveleys (unless you follow Cleveleys News).... 1. There's always a bargain to be had Cleveleys has more bargain shops than you can poke a walking stick at. It is home to the original B&M Bargains, as well as Home Bargains, Poundland, and a whole raft of similarly named independent shops. If you are looking for somewhere you can buy a loofah, some Wrights coal-tar soap, a pack of Cup-a-Soups with Arabic labelling and a blind bag of Moshi Monsters all under one roof, you've come to the right place. 2. It is the home of Mobility Scooter Jousting The annual sporting event which takes places in Morrisons car park has made celebrities out of local residents such as Colin 'Paladin' Brown and Ethel 'Ivanhoe' Jones.
