Cleveleys News

29th March 2018 Gullible I am both outraged and saddened to read so many negative articles about the seagulls in Cleveleys. So a few seagulls have dive-bombed the odd pensioner, stolen their chip barm, or pecked out their eye? Big deal. They are only obeying their instinct. As well as attracting seagulls, Cleveleys also attracts the elderly in large numbers, and they can be just as troublesome. A seagull has never stopped suddenly in the street whilst walking in front of me, scraped my ankle by driving its mobility scooter too close to me, or driven in front of me at 3mph looking for a disabled parking space when I’m already late for the school run. The council have made it illegal to feed seagulls in Cleveleys, yet they continue to fund meals on wheels and feed the pensioners! Mrs C. Taffy Cleveleys Doddy For more than two weeks now all I seem to hear about is the death of Doddy. It’s in every newspaper and on every radio station, Doddy this, Doddy that. Am I goin

Ooh, hello loves! It's me, Dee Dee, here with my first blog about life as a trendy old woman in Cleveleys. You know, I really can't believe how lucky I am to live in Cleveleys, sometimes I have to ask complete strangers to pinch me just so I know I'm not dreaming! Only the other day I was in Home Bargains looking at the synthetic loofahs when I asked a nice young man (about 55 I'd say) to give me a pinch. Ooh, the look he gave me! Anyway this week I was just at home, eating the LIDL version of a Bounty bar whilst on the toilet, when I heard a voice outside. I quickly finished the chocolate bar (which was really yummy - you can't tell they aren't real Bounty bars) and wiped up so I could take a look out of the window.  What I saw out the window horrified me. There were three young people walking on the prom, and they looked like they were up to no good. What sort of upbringing must they have had, that's what I'd like to know. Because I don't kn

Week ending 2nd March 2018 High School Misery The state of Blackpool’s high schools really is shocking. Only one high school in the whole town is rated “Good” by Ofsted! I attended Montgomery back in the day, and it is sad to see how much it has fallen into decline. When I was there we had regular hoax bomb alerts, and a sexual health clinic on site handing out rubber johnnies and doing chlamydia tests. Now I hear they have axed the clinic and introduced discipline – no wonder the kids are miserable and not learning anything! Thanks to my experience there I am now a fully qualified bomb disposal expert and have only had chlamydia once. Bryce Chaverton Cleveleys KFSence It is unbelievable that someone would call 999 to report that KFC had run out of chicken. Don’t these idiots know that by wasting their time they are preventing them from helping real people in need? I’d laugh if one of these morons had a genuine emergency such as discovering McDonalds had run
