Hi Thiink,

Also, did you like the road signs that were still in miles?!
e.g. Winding Road 11M.

Back around 1972 when the country went metric, I remember just about
every road sign in the country was changed within about a week.
A remarkable achievement.

Somehow Lostock missed out (judging by the road surface, I don't
think it has been worked on since 1972 either. )

The good news, I somehow can't imagine Lostock becoming over-developed
and hence light polluted any time soon! Astronomical heaven!

Best Regards

Gary
