I was talking to a builder from Wigan who always had the impression that Warrington was quite posh, until he got a job with the council and had to travel around some of the more earthy districts. That was an eye opener.
As someone who has lived here all my life, I don't see any difference from other towns. There are rough parts and very expensive parts. I do know that there are far better amenities in much smaller and poorer towns. That actually have a cinema in the town centre, a fun pool or a skating rink, somewhere for families to go after hours etc.

A fella from Bury I was speaking to once had the impression that Warrington was posh. I literally laughed out loud at his exact words: "oooh Cheshire. Very posh".

That was another point I was going to make. What seperates us as a township and its people from other flag waving, chest beating, good old fashioned towns up and down this country?

No i'm not joking. It's only been a few people, the majority know where it is.

I love living here too.
Northampton is a fast decaying hole of a town with a backwards council that doesnt give a......
Here, the town centre is a nice place to go shopping, the Goldon Square is fantastic in comparison to what northampton has to offer. As much as I love Northampton, it was my home for the first 18 years of my life, I really like living in Warrington and would never want to move back to Northampton. In comparison, Warrington is brill!
Oh and then the team is that bit more succesful up here! Well, the Cobblers arent in the Premiership are they!
