Okay, so England hasn’t really had much to celebrate lately. After fretting about whether they’ll actually qualify for the football world cup, they’ve had to see Jonny Wilkinson and his golden boot surrender the rugby title to the superior Springboks, as well as watching Formula 1 prodigy Lewis Hamilton miss out on the chance to win a top title in his debut season.
But this is still a green and pleasant land to be proud of and, thanks to the Government’s Connect To Your Council campaign, the English are indulging in a little national pride. The Pride of Place poll is asking residents to choose from ten beauty spots to find the one location in the country they love the most. Among the contenders are Silverstone racetrack and Peterborough Cathedral, but we particularly love Wigan Pier. Pretty and quaint, this Lancashire location is truly old school - you can even visit the Victorian schoolrooms, where lessons take place just as they did back in the day. And believe us, 'Miss, my dog ate my homework' just isn't going to cut it.
