I think you may have missed the reason for this thread Becky and I can't at all blame you.  We need a list of interesting couples and you have provided a great one.

We started it though as a list to report back on for the PDO members who are actually going to blackpool.  Yours is a bit long!  If there is one or two couples on that list that you are especially interested in then please cite them again so that our envoys know.
