    I noticed it was rainy when I was sober. I took care of that immediately.

    Fab video, born and raised in Warrington but 'moved out' 15 years ago to Northwich! One thing I hate - the TRAFFIC. Oh my, visiting family (Penketh/Sankey/Burtonwood) and having to go through either Stockton Heath, Bridgefoot, Winwick or the M6 drives me nuts! Oh well, my childhood home with fond memories, mainly of places that no longer exits - Warrington Baths, Mr Smiths, the old bus drivers cafe (my Grandma use to work there!), old rugby ground at Wilderspool etc. Fab commentary, tongue and cheek but to be honest where ever you live there are good and bad parts. Warrington is just big with bad traffic but pretty central to most places.

      I moved from Warrington to the US in 1979. It was quite a bit different back then. No McDonald's or Bugger King. The only American fast food was a small KRF on Bridge Street, which my sister called Kentucky Fried Rat. In the market there was a stall run by an American guy who had a grill and cooked American burgers & hop dogs, which were actually quite good. As for the rivalry between Manchester & Liverpool, so far as football goes anyway, I would say it was about 50/50 in my school. I was and always will be a Manchester United fan, and my ranking so far as football clubs go is.
      1. Manchester United.
      2. Manchester City.
      3. Liverpool.
      4. Everton.
      After that it's any other North-West club, followed by other northern clubs, Wales clubs, Midlands clubs, any club not from London and finally the London clubs. Of the London clubs, Chelsea is first, Spurs & Arsenal at the bottom, and just about any other London club in between, not in any particular order.
      I love where I live now, in Charlotte, NC, but still have fond memories of Warrington, and Grappenhall.

    I've lived in Warrington my entire life. Moved to Runcorn about 2 - 3 years ago now and honestly I don't miss it 😂 😂 it's good for a night out and granted, the Shopping City here (given its name) it doesn't have that many shops 😂 😂 Warrington is prime
