I wish I had known...
That the staff of the admission-office would be such a sorry bunch of people. I really got to see the backside of UK managerial competences.

Get a car to go around the area. Stoke-on-trent is a dump but a few miles outside the city things clear up and the surroundings are actually very nice.
Alton Towers (Britain's largest themepark) is just 30min drive away
