There is a statue in Morecambe of them on the sea front. Morecambe is a sleepy seaside town that has always been the but of seaside jokes, such as local people gather to watch the traffic lights go on and off for excitement. It's where people go to die etc. It is a really nice seaside town, as long as they keep the errrr, foreign element at bay, which has ruined so many of our seaside towns, so if they can achieve that it would be wonderful.. |
