You got to love the betting shop paper they used...

There's a Ladrboke's and a Betfred literally across the street from each other just around the corner. And a tiny casino next to the Betfred. Apparently people are very willing to gamble in Blackburn.

Apparently people are very willing to gamble to get out of Blackburn.

Is that Blackburn or 1920s Chicago, you dirty rat?

Fun fact:

Chicago comes from the Algonquin language meaning "stinky onions".

Blackburn comes from the Sooties language meaning "economic decline".

Possibly both, because I don't know that Al Capone was one for calling people twats.
