Lymm ain't to far from me, coke though as I'm driving.

they'd love me just the same)

I'm going to be around Ashton Under Lyne.

'cos I'm up with the missus, I can't drag her 20-odd miles for a
meet..... somewhere inbetween might be acceptable, though.

Trust me, she will prefer going to Lymm for a pint, than spending 5
minutes in Ashton/Wigan.

Heh, I know, I spend lots of time in Wigan, I love the place..

I also spend lots of time in Lymm, where I feel skint all the time.. (which
isn't a problem in Wigan)

Besides, Lymm is on the way back to Wales for Steve, he just hasn't realised
it yet..

(M6 / M56 junction... so either M6 / M5 / don't know cos it's dahn sarff and
not worth visiting.. or M56, A550 through Brunstromland)

Oh Wigan is agreat place, cracking night life, I've heard all the women
arround town are right slappers.

But Lymm is a real classy place, nice oldy worldy village in places, and
very expensive cars, some worth more than my house. Just don't ask about
the price of houses.
