The village that is further from the sea than any other human settlement in the UK is Coton in the Elms, Derbyshire. One kilometre south-east is Church Flatts Farm, which is 113km (70 miles) from the nearest point on the coast, or 72km (45 miles) from the nearest tidal water.

Lands End is NOT the most western point on the mainland of Great Britain, that is Ardmurchan Point up in Scotchland.

Interesting fact.

As I get older not only do I realise that I'm invisible to anyone under 25, I also have come to the conclusion that I know fuck all!

Fact...... I know nothing that anyone under 25 is interested in :obscene-birdiedoublered:
