Wellingborough, outside Kettering

Or did you bring your own lunch?

I nearly lived in Kettering once. Fortunately circumstances meant it didn’t happen, it was a near miss mind *shudders*.

There are worse places than Kettering. Could’ve been Corby.

I can't say Wellingborough was too salubrious. Nice 'micropub' at the station though. Drown your sorrows before leaving/arriving I expect.

There are far worse places than Kettering. I worked in Aldershot for a while so I know about these things.

Kettering does also have Weetabix in its favour

Aldershot is quite near nice places even if it’s not nice.

Kettering isn’t near anything nice; it’s as if you looked at the UK and ran a complex algorithm to determine the place furthest from anything interesting.

Nice cricket ground in Wellingborough - youngest played there a couple of times 14 or 15 years ago

True. I used to play Farnham League squash and learned to swim in Farnborough. Farnham's nice - or it was thirty years ago. Played cricked for Frimley briefly too.

I loved going to Wicksteed Park as a kid.
