I've just discovered that a friend of mine has been imagining (and singing) that Fairytale of New York contains the immortal line "I went to Whitley Bay"...
Whitley Bay, for those of you who haven't had the pleasure, is a seaside town just north of Newcastle upon Tyne. It has a very fine sandy beach, as I remember it. Anyway, the lyric does add a new geographical dimension to the song.
