You seem to have a bit of a downer on the place.

Might I suggest you hook up with' Men of Bridlington' - a newly- formed group who are intent on transforming people's impressions of the resort?

'Men of Bridlington' has a Churchillian ring to it, or even, if you will , echoes of Henry V's speech at Agincourt before the decisive battle.

I don't understand why Brid doesn't become the Padstow of the Humberside riviera. It has access to high quality fresh seafood and an influx of tourists in summer.

Rick Stein may not be everyone's cup of tea but he has transformed that town. Is there a decent fish restaurant there or is it just competing fish and chip shops. If you to Venice or Palermo or Naples you get pizza marinara or spaghhtti (or even a risotto) ai frutti di mare or grilled orata or branzino (apologies to the less cosmopolitan or sophisticated among you). You go to Antwerp you get the old mussels in the pot with various twists. Even in Spain (the pirates of our fishing waters) they do a paella with shrimps/prawns.

Surely someone in Brid can set up a decent sophisticated fish restaurant offering a wide range of seafood (inc lobsters!) to kick start the town's comeback?

Never been to Padstow, but from what I recall reading over the years, the locals (or some of them) don't like Stein.

Can't comment on his economic impact, as I no idea, but I've always thought he's a sycophantic bellend.

Could be wrong. So it goes.
