The Guardian online has a competition for a trip to England's Northwest, the purpose is to promote a book by former Southport resident Stuart Maconie, he was born in Wigan but was a student in Southport; I wondered if anyone here knew him. He has a website
here with some short stories, podcasts and maps. Here's a
shortcut to the Southport Story. The website seems to be very interesting so I'll be having a peruse, hope a few Southport Chat readers enjoy it also.
