  • I've heard of it.
  • On road signs it says: "For Liverpool Airport, follow Runcorn." CRAZY!!!
  • good old runcorn where else would you want to live?
  • i used to get a blow job by the little slags in runcorn after work. i hope i didnt get STD.
  • Cargo town? maybe in the 1800's but not now, don't see many people sending stuff down the Manchester Ship Canal, or the Bridgewater canal. Industry, was based around the former ICI plant which has now been taken over, producing chlorinated and halogenated products via the electrolysis of salt-brine that has been pumped from the Cheshire plains. Its mainly warehousing work for jobs now, or as the locals call it 'graft', which means stealing or prostituting your mum out so you can afford your next dose of heroin. Trapped in the borough of Halton with a smelly hellish place called Widnes. The towns are controlled by an extremely bias council who invest most of the tax payers money into Widnes and leave the spare change for Runcorn. Its a great town, it has history, green areas and potential. But hasn't everywhere. So don't knock it. The only people the moan are usually those that expect things to be done for them, like benefit cheats, druggies and scum, who think the world is against them and the world owes them something. If you don't like it, go back to the where most of you floated over from, which isn't part of Cheshire, like good old Runcorn!
