    I've also posted this on the Stoke City board.

    Sorry to bother you guy's, but can anyone help me please ?

    I am soon to travel from Middlesbrough to Shropshire, Willoughbridge to be exact, which is in between Stoke-on-Trent Centre and Market Drayton, I am told.

    .. I won't be travelling by car, so it's either by coach or train.

    It looks as though by train is the quickest option, however, Google is showing Stoke-on Trent as the nearest station to my destination. Does anyone know this area at all to confirm if this information is accurate ?

    Willoughbridge, I'm informed, is roughly 9 miles south/west of Stoke-on-Trent Centre.

    It looks like It'll be expensive trek this , ie, probably train, bus and taxi.

    Any advice guys please ?

    Have you tried using some sort of lubricant?

    He said, "Have you tried using some kind of lubricant?"

    Slugs rolled in icing sugar make a cheap and tasty alternative to liquorice allsorts.

    If not tried lubricant, try lard ... works just as well and is tastier!

    You can catch the Number b803 bus from Diddlesburg on the hour, every hour and be there in approx. £ 1/2 hours.

    The train station is shut down at the moment due to technical difficulties.

    I suspect you'll have to do train / coach and a cab - unless you try and google for bus routes in the area.

    Can I also suggest that if you see a chap wandering around Stoke on Trent in a Manchester United shirt telling you that you're going to hell because you're a bad person who disrespects Allah and is not fit to lace the shoes of his Harvard and oxbridge educated toddlers then you should be very, very afraid and leg it as quickly as you can.

    No, no, no. Chemicals in that will give his boyfriend toxic shock.
