Oh interesting facts lol no I've got nothing

Charley Uchea had a furniture shop here

We live on an island, although the mainland is only about 100 metres away at it's narrowest point. You can walk across when it's a really cold winter and the water freezes. We have a lovely coastal area and a nature trail where you can walk all the way to Germany (from the mainland). The people here speak three languages. Their own (Danish) German, because Germany is so close and the town is full of German tourists in summer and English, which they are taught in school.

Umm..

we have a natural fresh water spring well.

And the blackhill transmitters

Hackney -

- Fassett Square in Dalston, Hackney was the inspiration behind Albert Square in Eastenders.

- One of Banksy's first pieces of outdoor artwork was done in Stoke Newington, The mural was painted on the building so it could be photographed for the launch of Blur's 2003 single Crazy Beat. It was later partially painted over by idiots in 2009. People from the street were shouting for the painters to stop, which they did. The artwork was of a cartoon of the royal family waving from a balcony.

Where's this?

Harrogate is apparently one of the happiest/most romantic place to live in the EU... (but I don't believe that)

It has a Betty's which is crazy crazy popular, despite being stupidly overpriced and not even that night. Bakeries in Scotland are nicer.

We held Eurovision many years ago

Apparently Gareth Gates and Utah Saints were from Harrogate
