"Preston" and "joke".◄------- (Starts to think the joke didn't work.)
So is this to do with the old joke about two deaf blokes in a live music pub and the barmaid explaining that the live band were country and western ?

If I remember rightly one of the first bits of the M6 built was the Preston By-pass. Think about it, is that a coincidence, or was weird shit happening in Preston even back then ? 
(Conspiracy theory Nr 2, orders more bacofoil from Amazon.)
(By the way, I didn't say it was the M6, I said it looks a bit like the M6 up that way. I have an O level in pedanticism too.)
So to finally kill the joke and put it out of its misery, here's the M6 near Preston.
(The spacecraft is obviously 'cloaked' in this pix.)

While travelling he [ Jo Kibble ] said he discovered there was a "large fan following of Preston Bus Station".
"People sent me messages telling me I needed to go and visit Preston Bus Station. Luckily it was already on the route.
"It is a remarkable piece of architecture; seeing that first hand was surprisingly moving in a way."

Jo Kibble got from London to Morecambe in a day on public buses - "a great way to see the country".

Weirdly with three days in Preston during October 2019 I never heard of the town's bus station or knew where it is, though I've since learnt that it's not far from Sam Smith's Blue Bell.

The carers new main aim is to get a place uphill slightly of a harbour & then catapult chips down towards the harbour to see the ensuing chaos......It sort of happened in Newquay in the summer, I may have mentioned it somewhere if I can find it.....

Mundane facts about your day...
Twice I've tried to call the dentist to book a check up this morning and twice I've been put on hold (without speaking to anyone) and then the phone has been hung up a minute or two later. Starting to wonder if I've been blacklisted! XD

We had Fish and chips for tea tonight stood on the top harbour wall, finished them off then walked down to the lower Harbour wall. Stood and watched for dolphins while the family next to us stood and ate their fish & chips.Mundane facts about your day...

I remarked to the carer on how well behaved the seagulls are in New Quay compared to other places we've been as they hadn't attempted to snatch anyone's food..... The carer replied that it was cos no one was feeding them..... At that very moment the woman next to us decided to throw a chip to a gull stood near by...... That was it, a whole flock of the massive things appeared and attacked the blokes box of fish and chips, the woman screamed, the bloke tried to hit the gull, and the 2 kids ran off crying uncontrollably, fortunately the woman's and kids chips were safe as they were on a ledge lower down and only the blokes were on top of the wall...
We didn't help by my screaming 'oh my god its like hitchcocks film the birds', laughing our socks off and waving our arms wildly....
I've never seen a bloke look so cross, the poor lady kept saying 'I'm sorry, it was an accident, I dropped the chip' while also laughing, which made us laugh even more, as we know, and we're pretty sure the husband knew that she threw it on purpose!
.... I've still got tummy ache from laughing so much...
