And, the "Ribble's flow", etc. is not too far from the RIV topic of this thread.

Maybe not, but some original observations would have been more welcome. What else did you do in Preston? Did you check out the amazing breadth of stock at Action Records or the many fine English paintings in the Harris Art Gallery? Did you sample the Parched Peas from the vendors in the square or else marvel at the Market buildings and trestle stalls thereunder? Did you gawp in reverential awe at what is still the largest bus station in Europe, or else explore in the fragrant hush the antiquarian delights on offer at Halewoods? Proud Preston indeed! I love the place; we often head there of a weekend. It's also the location of The Moorbrook in which of a Friday night you can hear the finest folk music in the country - the Holy of Holies indeed.

A classic! CS would love it! Though for Human League I'd go for Empire State Human.
