Standish and other green bits to the North and West of Wigan are OK but don't expect anything too exciting if you are still looking for a young free and single lifestyle.

The Leafy Wirral
Come to the Leafy Wirral, Liverpool on one side over the Mersey, Wales on the over over the Dee and the Irish sea to the North. Surrounded by beach and home to many golf courses, inclduing Hoylake (The Open 2006) and Wallasey (home of Stableford).
You are never more than 15 minutes from the sea or the countryside, the Welsh mountains are 40 minutes away and you can be in Liverpool or Manchester very quickly too.
Heswall is the place to be, Rafa Benitez and many Liverpool players live there and for £1m you will get a pad overlooking the Welsh Hills with 6 bedrooms, swimming pool, etc.....

What's in hotpot
A difficult question to answer because the purpose of it is to make a hot filling meal out of whatever bits you've got lying around. Still, it would be an odd hotpot that didn't have mainly potatoes, carrots and onions. Meat if you've got some - bacon's popular but bits of beef would do to. Never actually heard of one with kidneys or other offal, but it would be in the spirit of hotpot.
They used to have oysters in them, back in the days when they used to wash up on Morecambe beach and were cheaper than meat.
& being a Lancashire lad, I'm ashamed to admit it, but when London restaurants make it it's always much better than the native version!
