Preston..........

[slinky]

Jesus Christ ............ :noidea: Just got back from Preston. Now is it me or is it very hard to navigate around that place lol.

I go into a shop come out and I have lost track of the direction i was going because i have come out another door than what I went into.

Every shop seems to have at least 3 doors you can get out of lol.

I feel like I have just walked 30 miles to do a bit of shopping.















P.S....what with all the escalators?? felt really dizzy and sick at one point.:doh::puzzled:

The places I hate most to drive in in Lancashire are Preston and Blackburn, awful places!

I used to work at the Fishergate, Guild Hall and Indoor Market in Preston years ago. Took me months to find my way around.

OH hell I know what you mean about the driving Neal. Ginger ( my hubby) was driving which is a good job as I spent most of my time with eyes shut. They don't care in Preston which lane they should be in do they?? NOOOO just take all three it doesn't matter :noidea:

It's just so confusing. Most places though have signs pointing here, there and everywhere and you would just end up going in circles if you followed them. I'm not just talking about Preston. Some stop giving directions to the places you want to go.

I want clear road signs that don't stop giving directions when your still no where near the destination!

That is very true.......then to top it all off we asked at the information desk how to get to fishergate........Hmmmm she told us instructions but she was polish with very bad english. I lost track after " go up the escalator":noidea: Ginger said " did you get that"?? I said " hmmm nope....I was hoping you kept up" lmao

Preston born and bred but the place was over run with students who brought the whole town down. Student spoilt Preston.. I now have a distinct dislike for students... second only to Nuns.... aaargh I hate Nuns.. Horrible little things that they are.

Accy and Happy :)

OK Back to your traffic.............

I was born in Preston, and still have relatives there that I visit weekly, but I steer clear of the town centre and wouldn't be able to find my way around now
