It's not a recent book, but The Silver Sword by Ian Serraillier made a big impression on me when I was about 10.

Oh my. Owl Babies was our boys' favourite bedtime story back in the day. Think I could still recite the whole thing twenty years later.

No. Harry called Preston a suburban city. Going to the centre itself (which is relatively small) isn't really the issue. Most of the traffic congestion is people driving from one suburban area to another, or passing through the bottleneck that is the the River Ribble.

Not to mention the route up to Penwortham, and even the bus lane up Fishergate Hill isn't too bad.

Crikey, it's refreshing to be on a social media platform where I actually want to engage with people, rather than gawp at ghastly trolling and endless misinformation.

I live very close to that cyclops junction and use it regularly. It's lovely, but it's the fact that it joins segregated infrastructure in all four directions that makes the difference.
