I just moved to St Helens about a week ago, you got me all excited when i read the "northwest" bit. That was before i remembered i'm on the Northeast >.<.
well be doing the drive etc...sometime this month and heading your way for a roll and if your ever keen on getting your roll on in the south let us know.
