Slough. Coventry. Stoke on trent... Dh just had a thought.

[Family1st2020]

They are all near big theme type parks. Big gatherings. Not much SD etc. ( he and ds went to Thorpe Park and was manic when they went like a normal day)

Does he have a point?

I have no energy to discuss with him. But said I'd ask in here.

It's the schools in Stoke. A lot of Alton Towers employees live in Stoke but many also come from the Moorlands & other areas. Keele Uni has caused a spike (though that's in Newcastle) but it's the schools predominantly combined with a large working class and ethnic community that live close to each other/in large families and often tend not to move away.

"It's the schools in Stoke."

It's the schools everywhere.
