OK, Buttwood must be truly evil if Loughborough is nice compaired to it *shudders*
Half an hour? HALF AN HOUR?! Ehhh, you kids don't know you were born. It was a good hour's bus ride (or 1 and a half on the train - go figure that!) to either the hive of villany of Teesside, or the Inbred seaside town of Scarborough if you wanted to visit something as exciting as a bloody Woolworths until I was 15!
Oh, and I was wrong about Whitby it seems. The first cinema they had they turned into a bingo hall, and then it became Boyes Stores. For some unearthly reason they 'moved' the cinema over the road and then changed *that* one into the BT HQ. Although apparently there used to be a skating rink opposite the Metroploe for a while until some one drowned in it and the council filled it in, which I suppose is fair enough really.
