At the risk of asking another tricky question, what is it that they're
seeing that prompts this remark?


The Blackpool Tower, of course!

Is the view of both towers unobstructed ? IIRC the Beulah Hill
(ex-ITV) mast is smaller.

You can see both towers from most high vantage points,
including many in North London.
