I was christened the British Bulldog by friends and colleagues who said I not only looked like a bulldog but fought like one. I was more of a fighter than a boxer. The Blackpool Rock originated from the fact that previous to becoming a fighter I was employed in the Blackpool Rock Factory, rock being a form of what Americans call candy.

I get recognised in the street, but that's more from all the Scottish people who are down in Blackpool on their holidays.

Actually I was born in 1940 in Blackpool because my family lived in Manchester but Manchester was being bombed. So my mother was sent away to Blackpool to have me and then went back so I lived my first eighteen years in Manchester and then emigrated to the States when I was eighteen.

My earliest memories are sitting on the beach at Blackpool, and I know that if I went back, it would be horrible. I know what Blackpool's like - it's nothing like I imagined it was as a child.

Stephen Blackpool fall into the loneliest of lives, the life of solitude among a familiar crowd. The stranger in the land who looks into ten thousand faces for some answering look and never finds it, is in cheering society as compared with him who passes ten averted faces daily, that were once the countenances of friends

It's an exciting place to go, really. The rain, the drizzle, the cold, the depressing people, the smokes in the bath ... I don't know of anyone who has been to Blackpool and enjoyed it.

I like a Blackpool breakfast, me - 20 ciggies and a pot of tea.

Straight out of Blackpool, I'm William Regal. My rhymes so intense, they shouldn't be legal. My style is refined, not crude and crass. I'll keep you grounded, like volcanic ash. I'll take you down, rung by rung. I'm just like British Parliment I'm completely hung. Straight-up gangsta trippin'. Yes, boy!
William Regal
