Furthermore worryingly Workington has become a BNP hotspot (according to Griffin anyway) with a local campaigner in the area gaining much support.

According to the governments deprivation index the town can range anywhere from "better than 70% of England to "in bottom 10% of areas in England". I would go again but I would avoid the docks.
You garnered all that from one visit? Why were you in Workington?

To watch them Workington play, I was told some of it by a local while I was at the game (the bit about the industry) but the bit about the houses I obviously found out myself on the day, Griffins comments I heard after I had been there. If I recall there was also a very nice statue of a footballer near the station but I cannot recall who it was.
The above post is complete bollox/garbage/nonsense, please point this out to me at any and every occasion possible.

It's not that bad once you're here. We have a sing-song twice a week and there's a beetle drive every other Thursday.

(also - objecting to so-called "split infinitives" in the English language is nonsense...)

Quite right. The lower age-limit for Facebook is 13.

Outrageous.
