David Platt looks like he's rolled outa bed after nite on the 🍻🍺🍺🍷🍹🍸
prob a night at the flying handbag....lol
you are being very polite, I wont say what I was thinking
An old man when I was a teenager used to say "All that money and they still live like pigs", seems to be the way these days; as they now say "Who give a sh1t!"
I thought he looked like he had been visiting Mr White. A bit too much.
Cory actor dressed like a beer monster, fits right in😂😂😂
😂
6:11 Jack Sheppard opening a hotel while Stephen is shouting 'ITS KICKING OFF IN BLACKPOOL' is comedy gold.
lol
Good to see they managed to drag in one of the local beer monsters to cut the ribbon.
Good to see this Cory actor dress for the occasion and look thrilled to be here..
He's actually a really nice bloke.
Won't be long before they are putting up our friends from overseas there. Watch this space.
My thoughts exactly
To right
Yes, they will keep coming over because they know they will get looked after unlike the poor homeless that were actually born here
Here come the dingy divers they will love it
They are welcome the the Norbreck.
Jack Sheppard looked scruffy
He did a bit.
Lets hope it don't end up like the metropole.
I'm in the hotel now for tonight and tomorrow, it's a lovely hotel Stephen.
That guy cutting the ribbon fits right in with blackpool he looks like he was at the pub all night and came straight there
Looks like a beer monster.
The new hotel looks very nice. Thank you very much for being there for the opening. 👍🥰❤️
Absolutely fantastic, i will go in for lunch at some point. 🎉
Well timed - In only a few years few would have believed Blackpool's success. Buy low and sell high.
The trams start on the 12th June (specially invited trips for local people), full passenger services start on 16th June from what I've read.
I've entered a lottery to be on the first tram.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Fingers crossed you win, that would make an interesting video.
For an extra £30 they could have got Gail to do it.
I’m not a corry fan these days. Rather watch classic coronation street. Thanks for showing opening of the Holiday Inn. 👍🏻😎☀️
It was great back in the 80s but now it's a load of crud!
Thanks for the video stephen, looks a lovely hotel and would love to stay there😊😊
Well done Stephen for Blackpool news update, and well done David for opening😊
That is a lot of staff for the size of that property, hope they know staffing levels will be reduced once its settled in and all teething problems are solved, Good luck to them all
“It’s all kicking off in Blackpool” 😂😂 that always makes me chuckle Stephen. As usual your videos are always worth the watch and are of the highest quality and offer a balanced view of a town that like so many has its problems, but at least things are being done to at least try and improve the area. Wether that works or not remains to be seen. Thanks again Stephen for taking the time to film it.👍
🙏🙏🙏
Finally it’s open 😁😁😁👍hopefully it will do good in Blackpool enjoyed the coverage Stephen 👍Thanks and take care 😁
What a palavour! Wonder how many of the staff will stay. Thanks for the video Stephen loved the open top Bus
Jack p shepherd coronation Street it's all kicking off in blackpool 😅
Glad its open,will look forward staying sometime
Thanks again for another great vlog Stephen i hope you're well
A great video very enjoyable.
Jack p shepard needs a hair cut and a shave looks like he had been out on the slosh 🍻🍻😂
Could have made an effort David. I thought it was a macabre joke having an homeless person open the Hotel😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lovely hotel..but very noisy location.. good luck filling those rooms in Winter time...
Thank you for everything, it means a lot. You always have my full support. I'm currently getting drunk alone in Layton rakes and enjoying myself. I wish you all the best 🙏
I might have a stay at that hotel although I usually try to avoid chain hotels I'd rather support the smaller independent hotels
I have no idea who David Platt or Jack Shepherd was, have never watched a single episode of Corrie. Have never seen so many people so happy to go to work. Anyway nice video👏🏻
Great video matey, good to see the sun out in Blackpool ☀️
Thanks Neil 🙏
Well the staff certainly look excited by it sir! So many of the small guest houses have just gone though which is a big shame IMO ….Smithy
I heard you in the background on AT media saying I can hear sirens its kicking off in Blackpool 😂😂
Yea, but that was the bit I didn't record lol. I was gutted about that, but AT Media came to the rescue.
That will be booked solid for the rest of the season. Straight off the train to into luxury accommodation gets a thumbs up from me.
Dingy divers first Labour policy
Thanks for the video, should be a nice hotel lots of corporate events i expect, and very central for holiday makers, to 😊
Glad to see this Stephen. I lknow one Belgian lady who was hoping to stay there in August ( she's attending the International Hip Hop contest @ The Winter Gardens)
Wow Jack Sheppard from Coronation Street opening the new Holiday Inn in Blackpool and that guy was cutting the ribbon to open the new hotel, also the hotel looks very nice it will be very nice to stay there in the Blackpool Holiday Inn Hotel so thanks Stephen I enjoyed the video with AT Media and Colin Seaside Videos joining in.
Nice video Stephen 👍
Get your room quick whilst it's clean and free from low lifes. At least it won't have roaches yet 😂. I love the old Blackpool Transport colours on the Leyland Olympian. Harks back to good memories of Leyland PD2 and the heritage trams .❤
I will be over there in 7 weeks but I'm staying in my little B & B in Alexandra Road ❤👌
Great video Stephen. Good humour. Seem happy to be going to work 😂
Thanks for sharing Stephen 😌
Your brand new holiday inn! Sponsored by RNLI!
Perfect location for a roundabout.
Very good Stephen. It was good to see Jack Shepherd alias David Platt opening it as I am a big fan of Corrie. Sad I know. Lol. Well done.
857 is a 1987 vintage ECW bodied Leyland Olympian that originally operated for London Buses. It would be converted to open top for the City Sightseeing operation which, in Blackpool, was franchised out to Blackpool Transport. When City Sightseeing pulled out, Blackpool Transport kept the bus for Private Hire & Special events.
D was 1985 as F was 1988 it was my first car I passed my test in it 😮
That guy cutting the ribbon looks like one of the local homeless people.
The bus is a Leyland Olympian. I rode on it at last years Morecambe Ribble bus rally up to Carnforth and back.
I'd have a couple of nights here if I could afford it lol.. I'm currently watching from the Layton rakes Wetherspoons lol
Hope you're enjoying wetherspoons there Sarah
@@willjohnson1980 yes I am I've been to velvet coaster earlier I'm in Blackpool till Friday.
Out with my budget unfortunately
@@sarahillingworth2718 did you not see Stephen this morning at the Holiday inn
@@willjohnson1980 no I was still in my guest house having breakfast but I met him in the saddle pub yesterday afternoon. he's a decent bloke to talk to 👍
I passed by the new IMAX today, I didn't even realize that was open yet! All the gateway work finally seems to be taking shape
Love your vlogs 😊
Yay! Thank you!
It's a Leyland Olympian, built in 1987 possibly at the factory in Workington!
Hi Stephen what a cracking vlog of the opening ofhe holiday Inn 😊
Thanks Ellen.
David Platt what a tawt
So you’re not keen then ? 😉
Awesome vlog.🎉🎉
Thank you 😊
Hi Steven thought David platt looked like he just got out off bed🤣good video.brill!!👍
Generally quite expensive hotels are Holiday Inns.They should have got Alf Roberts or Len Fairclough to open it or what about Benny from Crossroads!The most interesting Holiday Inn on Earth is the one in Beirut, Lebanon which is a big skyscraper and has stood empty since the civil war.
Evenin arrr Wilkos gone Holiday Inn here at last a nice touch to open it I wonder how many they got in to stay? Goodness me plenty of staff to start with here’s to it continuing 😊till the next one 😊
Excellent stuff Stephen ❤
Thanks, and I believe in you 🙏
Did you go to St Mary's
@@bowjana8128 lol
@@sarahillingworth2718 i think you was in my year haha
@@bowjana8128 you might be mixing me up with someone else, I'm from west Yorkshire lol
@@sarahillingworth2718 ahhh sorry wrong person
Wonder how much Jack P Shepherd got paid. Could have smartened up a bit. 😮
Enjoyed the blog. Will you be taking us inside for a sneaky look round Stephen ? 😂
I must take a look inside next.
You'd have been perfect choice as the ribbon snipper Steve!
Blackpool's ambassador! 😁
🙏🙏🙏
Just checked out the rates for a 4 night break starting Monday 10th June, £81 a night, you have to be a Hilton member but it’s free to join.
Sorry, I meant to say Holiday Inn member, not Hilton member.
thanks Stephen for another great video
Glad you enjoyed it
That Chef doesn't look too much like Marco lol. Great vlog Stephen. The Hotel Looks Great.👍
Welcome to the holiday inn blackpool Jack p shepord aka David plat love him grate actor My high school prom was at a holday Inn venue
The Cory guy who cut the tape is the love child of Ken and Rita.
Looks good and the staff bus parked on the zigzags.
Cheesy no words to describe this Video Holiday Inn a big thing
Fantastic. Scenes like this make it hard to believe it’s not in Las Vegas or Monte Carlo. Just imagine the scenes if it had been a new Travelodge opening, or a Poundland. And they’d have Taylor Swift cutting the ribbon if it was a new Greggs.
Great video as alway's pal. Hope it doe's well but not good when we have other hotel's in the town that are boarded up.
Hi stephen looks cool.nice one
Nice bus. Ex Croydon vehicle. There has to be at least one bus spotter fan following your channel lol 😊
We have farmers weekend coming up this bank holiday weekend wonder if the Holiday Inn has been booked 😂 good luck if so ✌️♥️
Looks like nice hotel.david platt is in corrie.😂
I wonder how many staff will be cheering the next day into work 😉
Blackpool 857 (D257FYM) isn't even an old Blackpool bus. Was new in 1987 to London Buses and is a Leyland Olympian with ECW bodywork.
Jack shepherd could have dressed up he looked very scruffy
I wonder how long before the glass windows are smash in lol
For anyone who's a bus fanatic the bus was manufactured in 1987
Jack aka David Platt is more used to hair cutting scissors in Corrie 😊
He needs one
I'll definitely use it. No brand confidence in the small guest houses. Places like this provide hope for the town.
A mix of both is good, but at least you know the Holiday Inn will be consistent standard that you cannot guarantee with the B&B's.
@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool you missed a steam engine visit Blackpool North between 6.30am and 7.15am this morning
Lovely video as normal.
'D' registration was from 1st August 1986 to 31 July 1987.
According to DVLA website this vehicle was 1st registered registered in February 1987.
Thanks Roy. Not quite as old as I thought.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool your right its not a leyland atlantean its a leyland olympian
wow Stephen Blackpool is coming on in the world wow looks beautiful Stephen it would be nice for you to stay at the hotel and do a view on it. Thank you Stephen for showing us this video. Fantastic.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
David Platt must have cost a few bob, fifty quid maybe
For a week at the end of august for 2 adults and 2 children £2,066.
not for me
@@johnrobertson8263 The only option was to book 2 rooms
It is pricey ,I looked for one night 175 ,15 each breakfast, 6 pound a pint in popular pubs ,guest house for us.
Fantastic video Steve shame about that scruffy dude who opened the hotel
lol
Great video Steve, I must say Jack Shepperd looked a mess.
He looked like a homeless person.
I expected a burst of hey ho, hey ho it's off to work we go from the staff. Hope it gets people staying.
Jack Sheppard has been in Corry 24 years
Yes he started as a child and they didn't recast the character like some of the other children.
That is a long career.
At media all ready covered this opening
Got to do follow up showing rooms ect contact them
Ive noticed their is no drop off point for the customers ,.
the bus pulled up on zigzags and a zebra crossing instant ticket and fine.
I didn’t notice that.
@@AWalkontheWildSideBlackpool Next time your up that way check it out,
the council has
not put in a drop off point ,
or pick up point.
not for the hotel ,
and not for the restaurant next door,
makes you think how much they pay the planers for the council,
i mean what are you meant to do,
to pick up or drop off,
with absolutely no where to stop without getting a ticket , what a joke.
i wonder how many of the staff were employed that infact are from Blackpool i dident see any job advertised for it
