It will help him that his ward is next to the Deep Blue Sea. One wonders whether he will put a flare path across it and whether he has learned French without tears if he needs to speak to his near neighbours. |

It was interesting to read on andrewteale 's preview that the greater part of Whaley Bridge, West of the Goyt, had originally been in Cheshire.
