It’s a large mock Georgian market town with a big church and that’s good enough for me!😂. The most exciting thing to happen there since the Normans built the cathedral is the southern bypass that now means less vans hit the Ely railway bridge of the same Ely to Peterborough line. Peterborough thinks it’s in Cambridgeshire but it isn’t really! Lovely to see my stomping ground achieve international coverage on your show! PS.

You look both ways, open the gate, which opens across the railroad track, get back into your vehicle, a Skyline and drive across the railroad track. You stop your vehicle, a Skyline, get out and close the gate. You get back into your vehicle, a Skyline and drive off. A mile down the road, you come across a magic roundabout. Five minutes later, while stopped at a traffic light at another roundabout, gripping your steer wheel tight in your hands, you start screaming.
