Common sense prevails in Widnes like any other major tourist destination it has its share of bad eggs, just make sure you keep your cameras hidden away and try not to look like a tourist. Be wary of teenage girls who appear to be flirtatious, this is a common scam in the area, they want you to get them up the duff so they can get a council flat.

LOL. WOTT told me to avoid areas around the Halton Stadium, not to court trouble, and to take in museums and art galleries instead. So I'm binning the game off and going to the Catalyst Science Discovery Centre on Mersey Road.

The city where you are less likely to be victim of a crime?

I don't mind Manchester for a night out, but Liverpool has got something about it wins hands down everytime for me.

Controversial mode
Well you are more likely to be a victim of an IRA attack in Manchester that's for sure. I'm sure that, despite your avatar, you would publicly denounce such atrocities?

Good man, I'd only go to South Central Halton with SLIM at my front (with his tats, flame red hair and doorman resume ) and '77 taking up my rear*


* I hear he has a penchant for that.

Wise words. Preparations for the trip are in full swing. I've got my money ready to change, but I'm struggling to find anywhere that holds pre-decimalisation currency.

Innoculations are lined up; tetanus booster, typhoid and foot and mouth.
