First things first, once you've picked the car up, get the hell out of Fleetwood, right shithole.
Manchester is probably worth a visit.

Yep. Fleetwood and Blackpool are shitholes.
Southport is not bad, albeit full of oldies. Manchester rocks.

I love Manchester. I'm not from there or even a Northerner (by birth) but I worked in the centre for 3 years and its awesome. Its changed loads in the last 10 years and has gone really cosmopolitan, especially in the summer. Always something going on.
IMO people who think its shit must have either been to the shit areas (which every city has), or just parked, walked round the Arndale, then come home.
