Cleveleys News 2018 Review



2018 has been another incredible year for Cleveleys News. So many tweets to choose from, but we let our readers decide and here are our TOP tweets, as "liked" and retweeted by YOU.

JANUARY
The year began with the sad news that Teletubby Tinky Winky had died.


FEBRUARY
New electronic signs started popping up around Blackpool. A few other people on social media tried to copy us, but this was our original (and obviously, the best) tweet.


MARCH
The news in March was dominated by goings-on at Blackpool FC with a public feud between Owen and Karl Oyston, and bailiffs being called by Valeri Belokon.




APRIL
Spring sprung, and while the thoughts of many turned to quietly contemplate the meaning of Easter, Blackpool folk turned to drunken fighting and vomiting in the street.




MAY
The royal wedding of Harry and Meghan was approaching, and our coverage of the build-up captured your attention. And while all that went on at Buckingham Palace, a young man mooned off the top of our very own Norbreck Castle.




JUNE
Train cancellations and reality shows were what you were interested in the most during June.




JULY
This month you showed love for our coverage of Donald Trump's visit, as well as our predictions for Blackpool Football Club.




AUGUST
A quieter month for news, our tweets you enjoyed the most were of Blackpool fine art and local TV soap's Knott Enders' Garth and Jessie.




SEPTEMBER
Britney came to Blackpool, and you liked our exclusive look at her hotel room.


OCTOBER
Bakery wars on Cleveleys high street caught your attention.


NOVEMBER
Bonfire night, and our coverage of the Blackpool FC supporter's bonfire was your favourite.


DECEMBER
The two big stories this month were the radio ban of a Christmas record and the new signage at Taylor's Bakery.




Thanks for making 2018 another fun year. See you in 2019 for more Cleveleys News.

Lord of the Chance

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. The Gazette go on to list just some of Lord Perry Harber's amazing credentials and achievements. As Lord of the Manor of Glascombe, Harber "presides over almost 15,000 acres of land". He "has invested in a number of businesses in Lytham" and is a "businessman and charity fundraiser". Not to mention his incredible ability to identify the precise contents and volu

The Doctor Will Review You Now...

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. So says an old proverb. Well, local amateur publication The Gazette have certainly been fooled at least twice by charlatans that we at Cleveleys News immediately recognised and exposed. So shame on them. There was Barry Carr from Rossall Gate, Fleetwood, a member of the BNP dubbed “neighbour from hell” after he repeatedly harangued, harassed and fat-shamed the lady next-door. It made national news when Carr was given a ten week jail term suspended for a year and ordered to pay his victims £200 each in compensation. Gazette were also all over the story, but what they didn’t mention in their coverage was that they had been publishing Carr’s intolerant rants on their letters page for years. Former BNP candidate and @The_Gazette letters page mainstay Barry Carr has appeal bid rejected and his sentence increased. More pages for them to fill... pic.twitter.com/3aPtV9Ge6y — Cleveleys News (@cleveleysnews) February 6, 2018

Cleveleys isn't just a retirement town full of old codgers. Occasionally their younger relatives come to visit too. 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.
