maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted March 12, 2014 Looks like Maryport has a new claim to fame. Fwee Bwian!!! Welease Woja!! The Roman connection has been known for ages, there's a fair bit about it in Maryport's museum. But, owt that brings in them tourist pennies and sells local pies is good.

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted October 27, 2015 Some semi-serious piece of clickbait I followed up a few minutes back suggests Wolverhampton is the most miserable place to live in the UK. This coming fairly tepidly on the heels of the discovery that Omagh in Northern Ireland is the happiest. Does anyone in the habit of posting hereabouts live in either place and - if so - does s/he want to comment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotten Ali 600 Posted October 27, 2015 If I could add, Stoke is far worse than Wolverhampton in my memory. And don't forget Newport (South Wales) oh my God, that all needs to be cleared into the deepest depths of the North Atlantic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted November 25, 2021 So, s'cuse me reviving a moribund thread but Maryport is - apparently - one of the best places in the UK to live. Looking at the evidence I'd say locals (not that I've been one for a long time) would dispute it's a Lake District town, but the £600k difference on the same amount of property to London is for real.
