Warrington? Where's that?

Halfway between Liverpool and Manchester, thats the only worthy description. It's the only way to describe the junction on the motorway where you leave the M6 for either of the North West's biggest cities. It has been said that the only good thing about the "city" (Its not actually a city, it's a borough, incase you were wondering, I bet you weren't) is the road out of it.

What's that? You want to see a picture, you don't. Trust me. But here's one anyway.



See!

I have to disagree. I have to, I live there. I'm finding it hard to think of another good thing. The public transport is unreliable an irregular, there is absolutley no nightlfe, infact there's no day life either! Walking around the "town" centre (it's not a town either, its still a borough) on a Saturday afternoon is like walking around a ghost town. Actually, it's like walking around a chav ghost town, although, unfortunatley the chavs are real, they're as much ghosts as Warrington is a city!

So where are we so far? Warrington isn't a city, it's a borough, who still has boroughs? Apparently it's applying for city status, but you need to have a cathedral and a University for that. Of which Warrington has neither. It has chavs. It has no nightlife. Actually, that's not true, on a Tuesday night you can go to the imaginitvely named WA1, pay £11 and then drink as much as you can. Not as much as you like, but as much as you can manage, most people leave when it closes at 11pm and don't remember how they got home. An exciting night out in Warrington then.

That's right, I was going to talk about something good. Well, I'm here because of Uni, The University of Chester that is, remember Warrington doesn't have it's own. The people who attend this campus are amazing, they're pretty much the only reason I'm still here. The course I'm on is good, accredited and all that, not a lot of people on the course which is nice, but I wont get started on the state of the campus, or the disorganised course, or the fact that the campus is actually 20minutes drive outside the town centre.

I could go on, and on, and on. And I probably will, but that's it for now.
