I always worry about statistics like these. How many people simply tick a box without thinking? Ok, 102,000 are labelled Christian, but how many actually practice their faith, I wonder?
And having seen certain areas of Lancaster (Dallas Road being a prime example) I'm surprised that the number of Muslims is so low.
Yes, I wasn't sure it was a very accurate picture of reality on the ground.
As you say, lots of 'default' Christians.
Oooh statistics! :D
Haven't found out about the Lancaster one way system yet, but I'm on to it!
I've got so far as around 1960, when the M6 Lancaster bypass was opened. Don't know who designed it or any specifics yet though.
