Transcript: speech marks We went to Blackpool when we first got married. We went for a meal and we queued up to get in for a meal and they said, 'oh, sorry we're not serving, we're not serving' . Oh no, we'll try and have to find someone else and literally those few words, and the gentleman that was sat at the desk said, 'Where are you from', he says - 'Are you from Wrexham?' Well, yes.
