A quick google revealed a few interesting facts about the Pink City, Wire's next SL destination, the fourth largest in France, the home of one of Europe's oldest Universities, a centre of gastronomic excellence and the French/European Air and Space Industry it's easy to understand why it is twinned with Widnes...

Will our sojourn to the South of France be a successful one, will we continue our decent start or will this be a 'peau de banane' giving the home team their first points of the season?

You decide and Bonne Chance .

Im my haste I forgot to give my usual Cheers UR, and an on this day in history of the 1st Anderson shelter being erected in a garden in Islington in 1939. Sadly, it seems the lessons of history have not been learned.
