    Correct

    I know your location says Bristol lemoncurd, but I would suggest you are actually from the North West looking at some of the people who went to your school? ;)

    I think `the other' Kay went to school in Horwich too (along with Paddy McGuinness).
    My mum's friend went to Vernon's wedding to Tess Daily (wow, talk about name-dropping! :D)
