(06:53) ......... “inside (just about everywhere) ......are SPRAYED WITH ASBESTOS”. The man proudly proclaims. Oh dear what we know now!

Two similar delightful market towns feature largely in my life and I love them both: Ulverston Otley

A590 South of Greenodd for about 400 yds. Part of Lakeside branch. Also the suspiciously straight bit of theA593 SW of Torver. The Coniston branch.

The name is something of an anachronism these days. A quick look at a satellite photo will show how Kendal’s tendrils now come closer to the station than the village. Which additionally.better fits the OP’s original stipulation of which TOWNS.

Also, that invasive grass stuff is pushing the shore line ever further out. Places like Grange-over-Sands haven’t seen waves hit the sea wall for decades despite climate change.

Flat is the last word I’d use to describe the L&HR

No. Preston based, at least one of them. The other nearer Milnethorpe(yish)

Bootle, Cumbrian line, level crossing

Personally I think this guy has got off very lightly. He will have no criminal record (as yet). Many people who have not committed a crime or who have been acquitted in a court of law will have their spurious arrest or court appearance forever on an enhanced check.

I obviously misunderstand the OP because my son is signed out for no end of them and the boxes where appropriate. Cumbria is full of them surely eg Bootle and that odd thing at foxfield

How’s that new Workington mine coming on?

How did the change to a summer game fair for Rugby League? It's decades upon decades since I used to attend Headingley on grey, wintery Saturdays and loved it. The game just finishing in the dying dusk and a lovely warm Original Oak in which to partake of some (at the time) dodgy Tetley's...

I'm at a bit of a loss here. Assuming Brexit goes ahead, who is to tell us what emissions regulations we have to adopt?

....... and 'Popcorn' gets you sent to the SPL.

True story,1976, tracking down an important delivery with a number my secretary had given me. "Welcome to International Express Embalming Company. Please hold the line whilst...." With a mixture of shock and horror I hung up rather quickly. After two more re-dials I checked with my secretary...

Re American influences I notice that 'tidbit' is replacing titbit along with others
