Borough vs town statistics
[edit]The statistics given in this article are for the Borough of Blackpool, not the town.
I don't know what the boundaries of the town are but I understand the borough contains other settlements. Dgp4004 (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- In fact, so many sections are about the borough as opposed to the town that I would go so far as to suggest merging the borough and the town articles. Just as the Liverpool article is about both the city and the metropolitan borough.
- Either that or an axe needs to be taken to this article to remove content which should really be on the borough page.Dgp4004 (talk) 16:55, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Demonym
[edit]Should this also be sand grown 'un, (although also seems to be claimed by Thora Hird, who was born in Morecambe)? 205.239.40.3 (talk) 11:54, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- If you were born and bred in Blackpool then you are a sandgrownun. 89.214.149.168 (talk) 08:32, 31 October 2025 (UTC)
