I've been to York Minster a few times, it's fantastic, but it's no Liverpool.

Further south at the Hornsea's and Withernsea's they have moved in lock, stock and barrel.
THey aren't even economically advantageous.
A tighter more reticent bunch would be difficult to find.

When I lived on the East Coast we used to love the annual event of the Wessies floating out to sea on lilo's and having to be rescued by a Sea King from Leconfield.

You can float out to sea from the Withernsea/Hornsea coast just by lying on a lilo on a cliff top for more than three hours.

The excuse "But officer, I fell asleep 50 yards from the cliff top and when I woke up I was in the sea" just won't work.

...or, "I was lying asleep in my hotel room when I was awoken by these kind men from the Flamborough Lifeboat informing me that it was illegal to sail a hotel bed in the middle of a shipping lane without lights or radio"...
