    46. See Blackpool Illuminations

    That's it. I've not even had haggis on burns night, I've never had haggis on any night to be honest.

    The only one I'd want to do is go to Wimbledon, obviously would like to watch Murray but just to be there and see any games would be good.

    I've done 10 and I have little interest in doing the rest.

    By the way, was this list sponsored by "Betty's tearooms, Harrogate" <confused>

    The festiniog railway doesn't go up Snowdon.

    The Snowdon railway is used by lazy scouse ****s carrying plastic bags full of strongbow wearing trackies.

    For the record it is just Windermere, not lake windermere, as it is an erm...mere! There is only one "lake" in the lake district and I will give the person who can tell me it a toffee crisp wrapper. No google allowed, you cheating ****s.
