Skelmersdale...

I was going to stay in Skelmersdale last night, though I'm still not sure whether I found it. I parked up next to a health centre, assuming I was in town. But I couldn't find anything that resembled a town centre. So I decided to stay somewhere else. But leaving Skelmersdale wasn't as easy as it sounds. There were lots of roundabouts and no signs; worse, I had given the satnav lady the evening off. I passed the same place not twice but three times, and drove up one cul de sac after another. It was turning into a Kafkaesque nightmare when, more by luck than good judgement, I found the way out. I won't be in hurry to go back...
