9. Thinking two towns are the same place
Even locals get this wrong. There is actually no such place as Lytham St Anne's - they're two different towns. It's the same with Thornton Cleveleys. | Google
10. Thinking we all live in terraced houses
Yes a lot of housing stock in Lancashire is Victorian terraces, but it's not all we have on offer, and it's not depressing. In fact, Wiswell in the Ribble Valley has recently been named one of the UK's 'poshest' villages by the Telegraph. | PW Photo: PW
11. Thinking you can still fly commercially into Blackpool Airport
Blackpool Airport Blackpool Airport closed to commercial traffic in 2014, and the return of commercial holiday flights has been ruled out.
