Have you ever been to Alton Towers? It's not exactly urban.


It's a damn site nearer manned emergency services than we are. I
should imagine that Ashbourne, Uttoxter, Cheadle have small manned
ambulance and fire stations. Stoke-on-Trent/Newcastle-under-Lyme is
only 12 miles away, those places will have all the toys.


I wonder why Alton Towers had no toys. But that makes you suppose a 12 mile hike into rural England from deepest Urbanity is a jet ride?

Been reading the newspapers again have you?
