R2D2 Lives in Preston

Surprising and enlightening facts about specific places in the UK, including: Clitheroe has the largest pigeons in the UK. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards first agreed to form a band on the platform of Sidcup railway station. Derry entered Guinness Book of World Records in 2007 for the biggest gathering of Santas—13,000 in the one place. Join hundreds of contributors as they take a tour around the map of Britain to their favorite places, from the biggest city to the smallest village—with not a crap town among them. And when they get there, raise a glass to their achievements—whether they are humble, hilarious, genuinely impressive, or downright weird. Cheers!
