Everywhere is going down as the druggies /pushers/criminals take over. So happy i lived through better times.

Same here

For a few days after I got back from Scarborough last month me and the missus were talking about moving up to that end of the country.

I grew up in Wakefield and moved to Northampton and Wolverhampton for University and I'm coming to the conclusion I don't want to raise my kids in Wakefield anymore.
 
<laugh> it is and I was only there one day on a school trip. My mate found a 4 pack of beer in a bin and as he was showing me one of the lads on the dodgem cars blind sided me. About 1980.:grin:
You were on a school trip in 1980? That’s brilliant humour mate it really is. Wait until Wiggy reads that <laugh>

None of you boys been to barrow in Furness then?

I once played an away game at Barrow in Furness. When we got back home I informed the club I was leaving because I didn't want to spend my Saturdays travelling to and from places like Barrow in Furness for a measly 40 quid. Grim.

Maryport isn't much better but it has a nice pie shop about 10 minutes outside the place so I'll let it off.
 
Boat and coach. Suppose you were jetting off to Benidorm.:grin: <ok>.
Actually did Butlins at Barry a couple of times in the late 70’s when my dad left. Mum was a nurse so could get some overtime in while we were out of the way.

Coach was a long old trip and we had to wear bizarre bobble hats all week, Blue and White hoops with an orange bobble. Can’t remember if all the other schools did the same but we were easy to spot I guess.

God Maryport is grim. Went once when I was 19 with my dad. My dad thought it was a good stop off pont between Carlisle and Keswick.
 
I’ve lived over the wrong side of the Pennines for 24 years now (originally from Leeds) and lots of **** hole towns over here.. Bolton, Rochdale, Wigan, Darwen and also could include Blackburn!
