Quite often of a Sunday.....mum and dad would walk us downtown....and in a side street near the bus station..whose name I cant remember....were coaches with a board in front of them extolling the virtues of a day trip to Blackpool,Morecambe or Southport....you hopped on,paid your money and went when the driver thought he had enough people to cover the costs..but the ones I liked the best were the coaches marked with MYSTERY TOUR....how exciting not to know where you were going and guess all along the way...invariably it was a run in the Ribble Valley stopping at the obligatory pub along the way....and lasted for 3 or 4 hrs there and back....I loved every minute of it......
