I hate to say this, but have to as a Northerner (Northumberland):
Peterborough cannot be the Jewel of the North because it is in the South - Yorkshire/Lancashire/Birmingham being the Midlands
Tho' not as far South as Cardington, from where I recently caught a distant view of the Antarctic Ice-Cap

:p
Sorry to spoil the party but this is a UK board, hence John you are somewhere about the middle and Peterborough is nowhere near the North.
For a slalom that is the real Jewel of the North come to Seaton Park, we get the odd eskimo showing up on our beach we're that far North. See you next May when we get daylight and the snow thaws........

OK just got back from holiday so can ad another tuppence to this.. . . At least we had some conversation.
I blame a busy week, of course Peterborough is not Jewel of the North, its COLD up there (at least at Easter!)
I meant to type Peterborough jewel of the EAST, but then again, what competition is there? Cardington, or . . . . There were more, but they could not compete with the fun of Peterborough.
Thanks to all who came and had a good time. and Where were you Clem, we had a C2 all ready and waiting for you. . .
