Fair enough. I've just noticed that Hanley can be pretty frightening during Keele's rag week. Full of bloody rugby players in daft costumes demanding money from all and sundry. I think they've actually been banned from the Potteries centre now.

Right....the British.....as an Englishman....I'm no 'Brit'....the Welsh...Scots and Northern Irish are nothing to do with me.....

Our greatest achievement....ever....was having the luck to be born in a country with no natural predators.....no crocodiles...snakes....spiders and the rest of your garden animals roaming around with nothing better to do than cause offence.....

Oh and we once claimed (without much in the way of success) to have invented the straw and fridge magnets......

And that's about it.

The only reason there's no natural predators is because we'd killed them all off by the turn of the eighteenth century. We used to get bears, wolves, boar, all kinds of crap here.

And badgers. Though those can seriously hurt you. They're big buggers.

How ridiculous that hunting with the bow is outlawed. I have my trusty 40lb compound bow, and will happily creep stealthfully though that ladys garden until the horned moon goes down. I shall certainly take a fox pelt or two.

splorff.. Sounds like you are from my old neck of the woods.. Lived in Blackpool for 20 odd years. Glad to be out of the place TBH.. there were a lot of elements in that town that simply showed the very worst of what the UK has to offer.

I was thinking more Southport though I do not understand where the port became in that name, as the sea hardly comes in. Even the fishermen use converted tractors and WW2 DUKWs to fish from.

Not me, where I live there are real beaches.But the fun used to be driving from Formby point to Southport via the beach, the trick was front wheel drive and keep moving as a long fence had to be got around and the sand was soggy at the end of the fence, my pal's Fiat Miriafiori Sport couldn't do it.

Could be worse; Stourport is around 90 miles from the sea in the Bristol Channel and only a bit over that to the coast at Aberystwyth. Funny old place all in all - like a miniature beach resort transported to north Worcestershire, complete with everything you'd associate with the seaside, except the seaside. Population about 30,000, swelled to three times that through summer when the 902s, 384s and Brummies turn up en masse to spend a week's holiday (very odd people).

Stourport only exists at all because the canal was put through into the Severn there, back in the days when the Severn was navigable way upstream. So the production of the Black Country/Birmingham industrial age would go by barge to Stourport and then on down the river to Bristol and then the world. It might have been called Severnport really, but the canal follows alongside the river Stour into the Severn and Stourport then becomes a more sensible name for knowing where to moor your dow to meet the barges from the canal I guess (where the Stour meets the Severn); plus which there could have been multiple Severnports had the canal age lasted a bit longer.

We got foxes and badgers around here, but they are no problem, perhaps it's the cats that keep them in check, six of them in my block alone, three in the next block and five in the one after that, this is cat territory. There is a birman upstairs, timid little thing, I can see the fox having that one at some point as the rest of the moggies here are bruisers, all teeth and claw which they practice regularly due to the size of the territory and 14 cats living in it.
