I've never heard this referred to as 'seaside rock'. 'Blackpool rock' or 'Brighton rock' yes, but seaside rock - No. Jooler

"Seaside rock" gets over 30,000 Google hits, though, so it's hardly unknown; I'd recognise it, certainly. Loganberry (Talk) 00:54, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you get rock at the seaside... Wolfmankurd 02:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency[edit]

Is it hard or soft? The article should say this, but doesn't. Badagnani (talk) 07:00, 12 December 2008 (UTC) - It does now. ~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.102.85.125 (talk) 06:44, 16 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Commonly referred to as Blackpool Rock? In Blackpool maybe?[edit]

Besides in Blackpool and in the George Formby song, I don't think it is commonly known as 'Blackpool Rock'. Nearly all the rock I've ever seen has had 'Scarborough' written through it because that was where we holidayed, if I were from Lancashire that might be different. As someone else has mentioned, they have heard it called 'Brighton Rock' which in Sussex I suppose it is. This article is supposed to represent a broad spread so I think this alternative name should be removed from the lead (perhaps mention of regional variations could be made further down the page). If there are no objections I'll take it down, but I'm hesitant to change the lead without enquiring first. Mtaylor848 (talk) 14:16, 21 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dimensions[edit]

This is the first time I've seen nice round metric values converted to exact Imperial equivilents (usually its the other way round). I very much doubt rock is manufactured to a tolerance of 1/100 inch, so how about rounding off the dimensions a bit (e.g. 2.5 cm / 1 inch)? Iapetus (talk) 21:02, 15 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Need a videolink or somesuch showing how the wording is set into the rockpipe[edit]

Seriously, how exactly is the wording inset into the rockpipe?
