    What a great idea to breath new life back into Scarborough and good to see/hear new initiatives being discussed to further improve Scarborough, just what the doctor ordered. What I also thought was good how much was spread out with an eclectic mix of fun activities for people to see and join in with. Even better that is is going to be spread out thought the year, so not just a one day of weekend event. Well done Scarborough, cheers Alan

      It’s such a welcome relief Alan. Genuinely do get excited by any positivity we can bring to our failing high streets. This was awesome. Will it be enough? Sadly, probably not, but I LOVE and I mean that a million % that people are trying and not just giving up. We had an awesome time at this event, the acts were all engaging and I felt like a child again watching them. A thing of wonder. That being said some numbskull timed the event to increase parking charges 20% in the town centre. You can’t make it up. Id like to meet that idiot in any alley anytime soon..

      @GENerationXplorers  3 місяці тому +1

      @@AlanMETALMAN look forward to that one. £9 is insanely expensive. They are charging everywhere now are they? I mean we can walk into the town centre fortunately. But putting up parking charges by 20% when most other councils have cottoned on that you have to incentivise driving to a town centre during this horrible time of retail decline is a no brainer. Id accept charging more to visit the sea front as people have been wanting to do that for almost 300 years. But to charge people to see empty, boarded up shops? I want to meet that guy..

    236 years wow but what a fun event and such a positive for Scarborough. What has taken them so long to bring it back and well done for the team that did! The mural is amazing, I do think great street art is a positive for towns. Love the giggles from the crowd for the balloon man. Art installations in windows are also so simple but so positive. What a wonderful event.

    • @GENerationXplorers
      @GENerationXplorers  3 місяці тому +1

      thank you Nettie. I do think working with landlords and building owners is something Scarborough could be doing better. art installations in empty shop windows is a vast improvement to row after row of boarded up shops. we seem to be light years away from other towns and cities in that regard.

      Was a great event Anna. The 20 million high street fund has been given to failing Councils at their own discretion to see fit how to regenerate the dying retail sector. Bringing back the Scarborough Fair? I have to admit it’s possibly genius. I hope it works. It might bring back footfall and it might get some of those shops reopened. Crazier things have happened..

The man with the balloon was unbelievable Best not to try that at home , Dave was chuckling away. What a wonderful atmosphere we love things like this.

      @@PostcardAndAPint ah im sure Rhyll is absolutely first class. These “surveys” are utter BS. Blackpool has a ton going for it for visitors as has Rhyll. When we visit Rhyll it will be to dispute this years surveys. We still love Skegness too which came out bottom last year. Utter, idiotic snobbery.

    How great that everyone is so positive about the return of the Scarborough Fair (love that song) so many reminders of my past here … teach the world to sing (every music lesson in first year secondary school) punch & Judy (trips to the beach at Skegness) & Aunt Betsy (Yorkshire puddings ) oh hang on, was that Aunt Bessy’s 🤔😂 Oh & the ottoman 😂😂 so funny .. my dad has one stuffed full of tablecloths that are never allowed to see the light of day because they are “for best” whenever that might be 😂 Haha in all seriousness, this looked a great day, fabulous costumes, lots of fun & brilliant that an age old tradition has been revived … excellent 😍😃xx

      brilliant Christine. I made the same mistake. 😂😂 I honestly thought it was the Yorkshire Pudding lady, got very confused when she said she was from Holland! My history is that ropey I had never heard of the Ottoman Empire before last week, why on earth would they want to trade in Scarborough if it wasn’t for bringing in Ottomans to trade for our local herbs? punch & Judy, its nice that even in the face of adversity we can bring back a hint of tradition. Ive not been able to get teach the world how to sing out of my head all week, she was a decent singer! hope your having an amazing weekend! xx

    Great initiative by Scarborough, I had no idea the song was so old! Considering there has been no Scarborough Fair for 236 years! I also now have the song stuck in my head, I can still confidently sing a couple of verses thanks to high school music teachers who had it on high rotation for us choir students to sing in harmony😒
