Blackpool

Other times Blackpool came up

1. It's amazing. I have one more really, one of my favorite facts about the First World War. Okay. They dug a section of trench to help people train for life in the trenches in Blackpool. They also took visitors around. You could pay a penny and visit them. They were called the lose trenches and be shown around by a soldier who was recuperating, who'd been actually at the front in France or Belgium.

2. You could pay a penny and visit them. They were called the Luz trenches and be shown around by a soldier who was recuperating who'd been actually at the front in France or Belgium. Imagine spending all that time on the front line in World War I and then being sent to Blackpool. I'm allowed to say that because I'm from Lancashire. The record for the largest pillow fight ever engaged in was set in Chicago in 2013 and involved 3,813 people, but four and a half thousand pillows, which I think is cheating.

3. Absolutely. It all depends where you live. No, no, no, completely. What a terrifying version of a serial killer you've just thought of, James, who goes around covered in Christmas lights, but only in Blackpool. We've never talked about the shark murder case in Sydney, which just feels like if people don't know about that, you need to, because it's such a good story. This is basically 1935. There's an aquarium in Sydney.
