Lancashire, famous for a hot pot, a dodgy-sounded amusement park (“pleasure beach” — really?), and a starring role in the witch trials (1612, big year). And most of all, for being a bloody long way away. Day trip? I was having none of it. “Well, Angela Hartnett doesn’t think it’s a big deal, and she’s going” I was reminded. Christ, alright, alright. Off I went.
