Barrow-in-Furness? Barrow-in-Furness? Have the compilers of this list not actually visited the wretched place? It's got all the romantic charm of a six-month-old egg.

Perhaps it is simply that there is nothing else to do there?

That is plausible.

I quite like Barrow, especially if you get out to Walney Island, which is quite romantic, in a wild windswept sort of way. I mean, sure, if you look one way you get the Vickers yard looking loomy, but if you look the other way you get magnificent views up into the Lake District, and the Irish Sea rolling in, and splendid sunsets.

I presume it's because it's out of the way (it's the only reason I could ever think of visiting the place unless you wanted to build a submarine)?

I think you're over-egging it there...

Incidentally, your Henry icon is adorable.
