1.Wigan has one but the longest is here. Possibly Southend ( longest pier ) but not sure.
2.No showers here. Possibly Bath but seems too obvious.
3.How can you be right on target?
4.Together with a short mackintosh they were a popular group.
5.Sounds like an odd smile.
6.Could be one of Paddington's charitable relatives
Thanks Emeritus & Regulo. Happy with Fleetwood and the fact that you have endorsed my thoughts on Southend & Bath. Interesting idea for Pudsey but the only thing is all the answers so far have been large towns whereas Pudsey is quite small.Not ruling it out though.
Regulo. I have just realised that Pudsey bear is the mascot for children in need so I think your Pudsey answer must be right. Thanks. Quite like wry too. Thanks Jan 1957
