I forgot to mention.
Once you are there, buy the Westmorland Gazette: Lake District, Kendal, Cumbria, news, sport, tourist guides, weather, walks to get news of events to visit and things to do.
Exciting things like terrier racing await you
Don't knock it until you've tried it. Terrier racing is a good spectator sport, mainly because it inevitably degenerates into mayhem.

Spent three months at Barrow as an MOD apprentice as a 17 year old - first trip away from home.
Used to work on the subs there.
Get up in morning - dark, raining - go to work. Get on boat. Lunch time, dark and raining. Back on boat. Home time - dark and raining.
I never want to go there again.
Having said that two of my best friends are from Barrow!

I might have a go at Sharepoint Dev. I'm always being asked if I can do that stuff

When I'm in a place with nowt to do, I do development work on a Plan B or pick a new skill to learn and get stuck into that.
P.S. It's Barrow in Furness

Nah, it won't work unless you like the Doors, which I don't.
I might learn how to fly, there's a small air field on Walney which is operated by BAe. That could be fun.

I've heard Barrow is the cul-de-sac of the UK, but surely there must be something up there?

Oh well, I'd better start running then.
Great news about the chip shop... do they do chips and curry sauce, I wonder?
As for the orange, plastic bag and a rope suggestion - I'm a lady, my name is not Michael!
