went to Platoon in Bury and got another string vest, pair pyjamas, Recce Corps cords and a pair of underwear (already had some but heck gets a bit whiffy)
Aside from that you must visit Bury-they have a preserved steam railway which is fun and the food market is VERY impressive although when buying your hot black pudding one lot is quite sufficient to share with a pal. Oh Lancs Fusileers museum is currently closed -in process of being moved.
