(I'm a space geek so I check the ESA's site regularly. Shouldn't have said that; thread will probably get hijacked by Brexit arguers now.)

Yep the ESA are pretty good on most things but don't know much about UK geography for some reason
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?
I love my homeland - the countryside is stunning, and the people are ace. But the major towns are mostly horrible.

wow, fancy that eh? Whereabouts? I hail from Lammack, but I left over 20 years ago. Still have family in the RIbble Valley, which is where most of us came from.
It was grim back then.
But then a load of ££s got spent .... and apparently had no good effect.

I had a summer job in 1989 at Orchard Mill, ICI on the road into Darwen. making perspex.
Ahhhh Morecambe.
Frontierland used to be great as a kid, as was the laser quest place.
The illuminations weren't really up to much.
The rest of it is on a par with Rhyl

I just thought I'd pop up the picture so someone could say "I can see our 'ouse from 'ere."
As for that area, we had relatives in Blackburn and I visited Blackburn and Morecambe many times as a kid. It's a rockin' place. You lot need to put aside your canapés and your expensive replica guitars and learn to enjoy chips and seaside rock again!
