Ashton under Lyne is also on the line of the Huddersfield Narrow Canal.

Urgh WHU can go to Hell. And that's being kind. I hope Cardiff whip them 4-0 in the Play-Off Final

Do I take it that you intend West Ham United to play in Norway next season by your reference to Hell ? They have quite a structured league situation in Norway:-
Premier League...........Tippeligaen
First Division...............Adeccoligaen
Second Division...........Oddsenligaen

There are sectionalised parts in the lower leagues, with the Third Division having no less than 12 sections.

......And I could not find Hell in any one of these...

It seems the UCP system is playing up (or at least mine is), so I have not been able to read the PM you sent in relation to this. Having now seen the same message by e-mail, it did give me a good laugh to begin the day with! Given I have roughly 700 miles ahead of me today, I think I could do with a laugh like this - especially considering the painfully early start...

On Football Manager 2005 my brother and I moved them and several other clubs we both despise into the Scottish Third Division - and then pochaed all the best players from them for tiny sums (£230K for Steven Gerrard, for instance)

(Harry) Enfield and (Eric) Morecambe are names of TV comedians

 

[Schnellzug]

Another quintessentially English comedian to share his name with a popular* Irish Sea resort was, of course, and I think I have used this one before, George Formby.

* with someone, I'm sure

Radstock was also a mining town in a county that is not a "shire"
