Sale, Cheshire, a black hole of misery and despair
Nantwich: the place that time forgot
Congleton, every silver lining has a cloud
Blacon, Chester, where you can either take drugs, sell drugs or leave
Crewe, you’d be commiserated if people think you live there
Northwich nestles snugly in what is usually regarded as posh and leafy Cheshire
Macclesfield: for a lass born and bred in Stockport, this place is odd
Widnes, an unflushed toilet of a place between Warrington & Liverpool
Stalybridge, sweet innocent kids turned into right little bastards
