Rubbish Towns
I once went to Basildon. It was closed, I got chased by a bunch of knuckle-dragged yobs until I was lost in a maze of concrete alleyways and got food poisoning off pie. Tell us about the awful places you've visited or have your home.
Thanks to SpankyHanky for the suggestion

Ah, Gaz Lighter!
You could use him as an economic indicator - judging how well things were going financially as a nation, by how many lighters he offered per pound. The "Plaster Fifty Pee" was a later addition; probably an attempt to diversify, on the advice of his accountant or something.
The student paper used to do cartoons of him. IIRC; one featured him winning the lottery, and using it to fulfill his deepest desire - ordering millions of gas lighters. Definitely a Preston Icon. Whatever became of him?
