Well, I thought I was visiting a custard factory, but it turned out that production had ceased there in the 1960s, and it had now been converted into a sort of upmarket business centre, with ripoff hairdressers and 'I Saw You Coming' type shops.

We went on a school outing to Halifax in 1971. We visited a place called Shibden Hall and went on the boating lake there.

I had a dabble for a few years on Southport marine lake. Good fun and we used to go to The Swan chippy on the way back sometimes.

Nice

My stepdad used to take me to Southport when I was about 7 and I used to go on the trampolines and then we would go to the chippy but I don't know if it was that one

Yes, it's a good beach where, unlike Southport most of the time you can go for a paddle in the sea.

Parents who have young kids enjoy being lenient in similar ways teachers
refuse to do much about bullying in schools.

Chipmunks have cheek pouches and stuff them full of food like hamsters do. It's so they can take it back to their den and store it for later.
