Took the family to Gullivers World, which is similar to the one at Matlock Bath, only larger and not on a hillside. Only football shirts I saw were Liverpool. Think they might be more into their rugby league: the stadium seemed impressive. Loads of retail parks, lots of expensive cars around. TBH, that's the only time in my life I've been there, and I'm not sure when I'll be back again for a further report..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayofox Posted 18 August 2017 Share Posted 18 August 2017 Well, it was going well, until my youngest, in his wheelchair, tumbled over a kerb and stopped himself with his face !! So we also know the joys of Warrington A+E. At least they give out free crisps and chocolate. Fortunately the marks are healed now (though he too may never return to W********n).

Bless him, hope all is ok now? just in case I haven't mentioned previously but I have a son who lives in Widnes (only 11 bless him) who was a Liverpool fan until they sold Torres to Chelsea when he was 5/6 in 2011 so became a Manchester City fan (I'm still slowly convincing him to turn to the Foxes, however thorn in my side is that his step dad is an Arsenal fan) so he is currently in a 3 way tug of war for his football allegiance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad was originally from Birkenhead (and is a Liverpool fan) and my grandad was an Everton fan. I did own a house in Widnes around 10/11 years ago but couldn't transfer my line of work up to there so stayed in sunny Leicestershire and met the current wife.
