Swapping living in Tokyo for South Shore?

It’s like swapping a bag full of gold coins and rainbows for a bottle of stale vomit.

A cliche from Cleveleys. I took this over 10 years ago and I remember taking the 10 stop off the front. It was covered in spray and salt hence the misted look. I also didn't realise at the time how filthy the sensor was; it's just taken me 15 minutes or so to clean the image.

Anyway "Mary's Shell"

Your home micro in the 80s said a lot about you as a person. Spectrum owners were plucky underdogs, like their system. C64 owners had more money than sense and valued brawn over brains. Of course the same kind of people were going to take over the systems. Commodore is now a bunch of bully boys.

Last month we commemorated the filming of #Andor at Cleveleys with a music video; this month Wyre Council unveiled a plaque. Our song is called 'The Force is Strong in Cleveleys'; at least two news sites used that phrase when reporting on the plaque. Coincidence? We don't think so.

Red sky at night,
Shepherd's delight,
Car on the tram tracks,
Probably no road tax.

Yes.

It has the ring of truth... Syd lives in Fleetwood, where crab fishing in the local boating lake is a popular pastime. That said, if TSW weren't interested, Sky will be.

#BBCQuestionTime was live from Fleetwood last night. That guy is going to regret raising his hand like that.

A man in the audience of BBC Question Time raises his hand in an unfortunate manner which looks like a seig heil.

A lorry has jackknifed on the M55 and spilled 8000 gallons of Lambrini. Fleetwood High sixth form girls have been deployed with straws to clean it up.

We haven't had a Safeway
for over 15 years
Then Tesco went and left us
which brought some folks to tears
But these supermarket giants
have certainly left their mark
Cos we still got Safeway's roundabout
and a Tesco carpark.

In the space of just a few days, United Utilities have covered the beaches of Fleetwood, St Annes, and Bispham in raw poo. If you didn't know this then you're at risk of stomach, skin, ear and eye infections, not to mention E.coli and hepatitis. Say something, do something.
