Nominative Determinism: France Twinned With Blackpool
by Anorak | 14th, May 2009
A NEW campaign by Blackpool tourism bosses/ chiefs to remind the French that Britain’s Tower is better than their effort at height, what with its shorter queues to ride to the top and Jungle Jim’s Towering Adventure Land.
And who oversees the push to help out the French? Why, it’s Helen France, director of tourism for Blackpool Council.
Nominative determinism is everywhere. Says La Belle France:
“Often when we get French visitors – they like to do London, Stratford and Edinburgh and often drop off at a seaside town on the way, and we hope that this will encourage them to come to Blackpool.”
