People just pass through, don't they? Probably like Hastings, but with ferries.
Certainly passing through places have a special strangeness. Like Las Vegas - always surprised when I was a child and it said Andre Agassi came from Vegas and I (subconsciously) thought "Was he born in a hotel? Grew up in a casino?".that's why it's mysterious though.
Went to look at a castle yesterday.Actually, it looks quite nice. It has a massive castle.
