Vicky the orangutan lives at Blackpool Zoo and her life was saved by vets from Preston when she had chronic airsacculitis. This is well known to those people who work with orangutans and who also happen to google the words 'Preston' and 'Orangutan', so clearly Preston's success is written in the stars. Up the Lilywhites!!

I lived briefly in Barrow-in-Furness and to get there you have to by-pass Preston

Close enough!
Come on you Lilywhites!

I went to Uni (and lived with for two years) with Fat Gaz from Preston – big (in every sense) rugby player for Preston Grasshopper, as well as a PNE fan (with a soft spot for Newcastle, bizarrely). I went out there one night in c1997/8 to the (in)famous Tokyo Jo’s, which was a giggle.

It was also the first time I heard the song:

"Chim chimenee,
Chim chimenee,
Chim chim cheroo,
We hate the b**tards in claret and blue..."

My Dad cooks his own ox tongues and then prepares them using a dish, clamp and
a large screw thing. When the tongue first goes in the dish it has to be PRESSED ON.

I know someone with a surname of Preston and my friend's wife, a splendid character, is from there and supports them.

I once got ambushed outside a supermarket in Preston after a game but told my wallet demanding assailants where to go. Strangely they did.

Any antipathy was receded by the wonderful meat and potato pie I had that day.

I once had a slow dance in a Majorca nightclub with Barbara from Preston. I tried to kiss her but her teeth got in the way.

I used to clean my windows with Windowlene, Windowlene gave its name to Wendowlene Ramsbottom, the shopkeeper in Wallace & Gromit's 'A Close Shave'.
Wendowlene had a robotic cyberdog called Preston and Preston was a sheep rustler; sheep are lilywhite in colour.
