Places Which You Have Vaguely Heard Of, And, Out Of Necessity, Visited - Impressions ?

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Lourdes - 100s of pharmacies and gift shops selling pictures of Jesus but nowhere to grab a sandwich.

Lourdes - a place where miracles happen, but you can't get a sandwich...

Now, if you'd gone to tabgha, I heard some fella there handed out 5000 fish butties, made from just five loaves & two fish, apparently

Gretna. First impression was ooooooooooooo nice wee place. After one night my impression changed to ooooooooo lets goooooooooooooo.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Croston.

Not out of necessity, but to visit someone in wymott jail.

Good bakery, had my first butter pie from there.

what exactly IS a butter pie, the name doesn't conjure up pleasant images

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

lake garda Italy - beyond gorgeous, cheap local restaurants selling the best food I've ever tasted in my life, stunning views and an alpine climate - not too hot, and some boss snow on the mountains
would live there if I could

plus they have a theme park called gardaland that just made alton towers look [Poor language removed] tbh

Potato & onion that's been cooked in butter; they're quite nice.

 

[Brendan Janus]

Port Isaac, beautiful !!

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

whiston, used to work there

it's like a giant genetics experiment went wrong but everyone just decided to pretend not to notice

scallies in full trackies with purple fringes, squadrons of chainsmoking pregnant teenagers leaning against those wheely drip things outside the hospital and everyone drives like an utter [Poor language removed]
also there isn't a decent chippy to be found anywhere

Haha. I forgot about Gretna. Top of the list. Horrific

See also Colchester.

Been there a few times, we used to call it "little beirut" due to the number of fights there

 

[Zatara]

Oban- toilet town
Lourdes - 100s of pharmacies and gift shops selling pictures of Jesus but nowhere to grab a sandwich.
Washington, County Durham - what?
Big shout out for Singapore- hot and stupid.

Singapore is arguably the best place to live in the world...

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Wales.
It's ok, but thinks its better than it is.
Has one good week every 50 years.
Lots of babies called Gareth being born this week.

And Hal.

Leongs on the corner of Ash Grove - Warrington Rd...used to be good. But you're right about the rest. anywhere with a place called Lickers Lane...say no more.

and @chicoazul's wool map says it's kosher

*makes note and google maps distance from Huyton

Missing ye mar, are you?

that would have been useful before I stopped working in whiston hospital :')

then again is it just me or have there been a surge of chippies that used to be good going utterly crap across the Merseyside area the past few years
