    Interesting that your good points about the place are all about ease of leaving

    Stockton Heath and Appleton are probably the nicest parts, with a few good pubs and restaurants dotted about...

      Yep, I am comparing it to where I am now. The nearest airports are in Manchester and Newcastle, both hours away, It's 1:20 to the nearest motorway, and even then you are in the middle of nowhere (Penrith) and the local rail service is really a 'bus' which goes diddley-dum along the coast line which still has semaphore signals!

      I was talking about the place as a business/work base. I think old Dodgy needs a Northern branch there, instead of chatting to Her Maj over the garden fence.

        Agree. It's a right chav filled hovel. The North's version of Swindon

              serioulsy - I have been to Warrington for a night or two recently - problem is no one seems to go out until about 10.30 - which is late for me cos I am old..

              Oh and seriously the Cheerleaders from the Warrington Wolves...... it would be like a Wizards Sleve!

                I did try to Google for 'Miss Whitehaven' for comparison, and nothing happened.

                For God's sake, get me out of here someone :-)

                    ShaunBhoy hits the nail on the head.

                    They hold skiing competitions where there is lots of snow.

                    They hold surfing competitions where the best waves are.

                    Cumbria is home to the world gurning championships and the world's biggest liar competition.
