Goodbye cruel world...

[TG]

...I'm off back to Scallypool at the weekend for the first time in a couple of years.

Now I'm not a scouser myself but for a few years I lived mostly in Crosby and also in Waterloo for a while. Waterloo should be nuked urgently (apart from the 'The Liver' boozer that I have a certain affection for.)

Crosby is nice though and we are staying Saturday night there with family so I wont have to nail my mobile phone to my hip.

Sunday however we are staying at a hotel in Southport. I have my telescope with me so I will be able to see the sea.

I may even have time to go to the cake shop for a hallucinogenic bun.

He'll be OK ~ he has a native guide don't forget.

yep i am scouser born an bred, lived there for 43 yrs of my life, and never had any problems, so cant be that bad hey

the reason i dont go bak so often  is you can get to paris cheaper than a train ticket to liverpool, madness!

I 'spect that applies to everyone's home town. I grew up in Southampton and, in the fifties and sixties there was nowhere that I wouldn't go, without thought. Now I wouldn't dare walk down the High Street after 6 in the evening. TBH I used to feel safer on the streets of North London ten years ago than I do now in this small village. The world (or at least the UK) has changed beyond all recognition in the last few years. Everywhere is nastier, more dangerous and seems to me to be full of potential trouble ~ and I'm not as fit as I used to be.
I hadn't realised you were travelling by train either. Tho' with petrol prices the way they are it's probably not that much more expensive.

To be fair, more people want to go to Paris

Good plan ~ and only a couple of hundred quid to get you a passport each ~ and that's before you get on train/boat/plane

Got passports. it helps when opening bank accounts and such donchyaknow. 

I meself have travelled to foreign parts though not for a long time.

Went to the isle of wight a few years ago if that counts? Took about a 6 hour round trip from Swanage. I could have gone half way round the planet in that time and for less money. 

If we fly to Lyon next year it will be Mrs TG's first time on an airyplane. 

I am going to have to get pissed to deal with the stress, and i dont mean the stress of flying...

I had forgotten she has never flown.HOw has she managed to evade that for so long?

While oop north I recommend you visit a rather good bakery in AINSDALE

You don't go there on the train... you go on a cake...
