| Following on from recent discussion, here's where we can list British seaside resorts that do and don't sound like something from HP Lovecraft.
We can also, should we choose, suggest story titles that could involve them. _________________  |

Basically, anywhere that has a nuclear power station sounds like HP Lovecraft invented it. _________________ |
