I hadn't been going out with Miranda long when I said to her "Why don't we go shopping I've got some spare cash tucked away, I'll drive". She was still thinking about what to get at the Trafford Centre as we pulled up outside Les Hare's legendary King Bee record shop. When she'd stopped crying she saw the funny side of it. On the way back whilst driving down the A6010 she said "I've been waiting years to show this to someone who'd get it".

She pointed it out as we got close and I laughed out loud. As if I needed any confirmation at all I knew then exactly why I live with her.

Can you find it?

derek

If nobody gets it within the next few hours (as the clarity isnt spot on) I'll send in another jpeg of it that makes it a bit easier to find.

can anybody find a better one?

You are probably right...with not knowing the record shop and where it is......D.P. never said an off street from A6010 did he!!!!!! He was only driving down that road.

I live on Seal Rd in Stockport - wasnt Seal a soul singer of sorts?

Wigan has a roundabout in the road < a metal statue thingamajig> in the middle of it with ' northern soul and a dancer' never seen it proper though as i am a swine for ' speeding' .

Once went looking for a house in Blackpool between number 43 & number 47. Didn't find it - then realised it must have been one of those elusive 45s!!!!!

post-1224-1153950098.jpg yeah it was Arnold Blair - but the clever part (I thought) was that Arnold Road was on the left and Blair Road was on the right - it was the combination of the two that made the humour. Names like Brunswick St and Philadelphia Terr are interesting but too obvious. Garland Green in South Belfast does raise a smile though. But can anybody beat Arnold Blair?

Burnley has a Neptune Street and a Brunswick St.

I once tried to nick the Neptune St sign before going down Wigan one night. I was stood on Fuse's shoulders trying to knock the sign down with a branch. Ended up with minor concussion.
