A Yank gets off the plane in Blackpool and gets into a cab, he gives the taxi driver the hotel name and off they set.. about a mile into the journey the Yank asks "what's that".?
The taxi driver replies, "that's the Pepsi big-one, biggest roller-coaster in England, built in 1996 in 6 months costing 20 million.
The yank replies...." we have one twice as big as that at home, only took 3 months to build and cost 40 million".
200 yards down the prom and the Yank again asks "what's that".?
The taxi driver again advises "That's the south pier, largest pier in Europe, built in 1899 at a cost of 5 million in just under 12 months".
The Yank replies...."we have one twice as long as that at home, only took 6 months to build and cost 10 million".
200 yards further down the prom, the Yank spots Blackpool tower, he asks "wow what's that"?
"xxxx knows," said the taxi driver, "wasn't there this morning."
