Used to go with a girl from Chester when I was at Southern Illinois
University. Slept in my first feather bed at her mom's 15o year old house a
block from the shore of the Mighty Muddy Mississip. Of course Chester is
most well known for its Prison for the Criminally Insane.

Try Clangollin! For bonus points refer to Wales as 'Cumree' (Cymru).
BUT beware the road signs they say "Croeso y Gymru" (krowayzo ee
Gumree). Thats because in the welsh language if a 'y' goes in front as
in the sentance you have to change the first letter! Welcome to Bnagor
translates as 'Croeso y Fangor' which is krowayzo ee Vangore (phon.)!
If you are coming to Bangor it'd be cool to meet up. I could show you
the 18th century university and better still the best pubs! You mght
even be allowed a ride in 'eddie'!

Manchester is shite, kinda like detroit from what I hear (of Detroit, I

And Chester

Chester is okay, much better than Mank. To add to your visit you could
go to California in Norfolk (near my house in Suffolk!) or while in
Wales pop down to Florida in S.Wales!
