Yep, the Goths might look a bit scary, but they are the most polite, courteous tourists when visiting the town.

Whitby is the Goth capital as it's where Bram Stoker got the inspiration for Dracula and it's actually written in to the book.

Am such a techno phobe I have no idea if this is going to work! If it does, this will show another picture of the UK - a rather less scenic but more day to day one!!! It's my friends local ASDA from my recent trip home :rofl:

In my current state of mind, even this makes me homesick :huh:
