    Sorry I must have remembered the place wrong. The last time I lived in the UK was in the late 90’s.

    That’s why I pulled my post. No sense in misleading people.

      There are some lovely places in that area, and like anywhere in the UK, I bet it has bits that are posh.

      As a Northerner, there’s something nice knowing that you left with such a positive memory of the place.

      The last 20 years though, they’ve been pretty brutal up here.
