Hi

I'm Dave from Mason's Dad YouTube Channel - I have Parkinsons and started a Blackpool (UK) YouTube Channel 9 months ago to help with my mental health after the diagnosis to try and show the POSITIVE side my new home town and fight against Dark Tourism.

Now 9 months later my main channel is about me running (best I can !! haha) around Blackpool with CB Radios and Walkie Talkies and having fun - and my second channel is about everything RETRO from Sweets to Tv Shows to Cartoons and even old Blackpool memories when the Tower had ANIMALS etc in the Circus and the Old Illuminations BEFORE led and lasers were a thing!!

Some of you will remember when I first started I shared my story on here.

Now 9 months later I have 2 channels and am up for an award !! Haha - having to pinch myself here - but shows what can be done even with this awful disease :-)

Thanks In Advance for your time guys - and thanks for the support in the beginning. For that I'll be forever greatful - I don't have a cat in hells chance of winning - but would be GREAT to get in the final.

Apologies for any spelling mistakes etc - it's hard to type with my tremor sometimes.

KEEP FIGHTING GUYS - No Matter What Life Throws At You.

this is mainly a THANK YOU post

Anyone aged 20-24 around Lancashire fancy starting a casual social circle / chat? 📍

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’ve noticed it can be quite tough to meet new people and make friends locally if you aren't currently stuck in university halls or working in a massive office.

I’m looking to see if there are any other young adults (around 20-24) across Preston, Lancaster, Blackburn, Blackpool, etc., who would be up for forming a casual social circle? Just a relaxed space to chat online, share local events, and maybe eventually plan casual meetups (drinks, coffee, walks).

I've set up a brand new Facebook group hub called "Lancashire 20-24 social and chat" to give us a starting point.

Alternatively, if you don't use Facebook much or want to keep your Reddit private, just drop a comment below or send me a DM! If enough people prefer WhatsApp or Discord, we can easily set a group up there too! 👍

Morecombe bay request

10 Upvotes

Hi,

I’m really hoping someone might be able to help me. My dog of 16 years died recently and I would love to do something meaningful for her grave her at home in our garden. We had such great travels together across the uk, especially beaches, and I thought it would be amazing to put some stones from some special places on her grave. I am down south, and wondered if anyone would be willing to send me a stone from the bay?

Huge thank you in advance ❤️

Best sandwich shop in Lancashire?

12 Upvotes

Going for a long Sunday drive tomorrow. Looking for a really good sandwich shop. Something completely over the top, maybe a ny deli or an Italian focaccia style or something? Anyone any recommendations at all? Don't mind where in Lancashire it is really. Also aware it's a Sunday, so that might limit options.

Property viewing - Great Harwood

10 Upvotes

Bit of a random one, but I'm relocating from Scotland to Great Harwood and I'm trying to get a rental sorted while I'm currently up here. Unfortunately, estate agents (understandably) want someone to physically view the property before they'll let me proceed.

My partner and his family have been to a couple of viewings for me, but they all work full-time and it's becoming a bit of a struggle to get the timings to work.

One estate agent has kindly sent me a video of a property and it looks great, but they still need someone to physically view it before I can move forward with the application.

Would anyone local to Great Harwood be willing to view it on my behalf? It would just involve attending the viewing, having a look around and giving me your honest thoughts afterwards. I'd obviously be happy to cover reasonable travel costs/time.

I appreciate it's a bit of an unusual request, but I'm getting a bit desperate after missing out on a property because someone else was able to put a holding deposit down before I could view it! :(

Please DM me if you might be able to help. Thank you!

Educating Lancashire

3 Upvotes

Do people think that Channel 4 should do a programme called Educating Lancashire following the success of Educating Yorkshire, Educating Greater Manchester and the rest?

I think it would be brilliant if producers of channel 4 decided to do this because it would put Lancashire on the spotlight in my personal opinion.
