Advantages: The whole experience. Disadvantages: My stay was completely disadvantage free!
Regular readers of my reviews will no doubt already know I am a huge fan of Blackpool and that I travel there on a regular basis. Now I am the first to admit that when I visit Blackpool it is more about the place itself than the accommodation and therefore I usually just opt for a very inexpensive B&B but I do on occasions like to treat myself to a luxury break in a hotel and have stayed in the Big Blue hotel that overlooks the Pleasure beach (already reviewed) and also in the Imperial Hotel which is what I am going to tell you a bit about here.

We have just got back from another excellent long weekend to Belgium. This time we used Ostend as our base and were traveling with a party of 17 adults. The trip cost us £200 pounds each and this included our transport (in a 16 seater coach ~ the extra person was our mate the bus driver), crossing on the Channel Tunnel and three nights B&B in the Imperial Hotel.

The Imperial Leather fragrance was the creation of PZ Cussons and its origins lay in the United Kingdom.
I was interested when I read how Cussons Imperial Leather soap gathered popularity, it was all due to the rationing that was implemented at the onset of World War Two in 1942. The soap bar was described as being hard and long lasting and therefore the soap was considered a safe bet to spend your coupons on.
I was just discussing with family how the Imperial Leather soap used to come in an elegant scarlet red cardboard box which was attractively curved at either end, but as time has gone by and the World has become more conscious of the way in which our goods are packaged the soap now comes in a clear ...
