I´ve been to Widnes. Can´t for the life of me work out why ET would head there. The place is an armpit.
"Teasers are usually rich kids with nothing to do. They cruise around looking for planets which haven't made interstellar contact yet and buzz them...they find some isolated spot with very few people around, then land right by some poor unsuspecting soul whom no one's ever going to believe, and then strut up and down in front of him wearing silly antennae on their head and making "beep beep" noises."-- from The Hitch-Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy
