The North West, particularly Lancashire, has more swinging clubs than any other area of the country. Why is Lancashire so sexy? I've just come across a quote which may provide a clue (or not?). It's from an old guide book to Lancashire, written by Walter Greenwood, author of "Love On The Dole" and other novels.
Quote:
"Yorkshire faces the full blast of the easterly wind which may account for the Yorkshire character... The boisterous wind that buffets the land of the Red Rose is born in the tumbling wastes of the Atlantic. A wild, warm, amorous wind wenching with fat clouds and leaving them big with rain which they deliver themselves on the Pennines' westerly slopes."
Mike.
