This is Staffordshire -- COMEDIAN Jack Dee has been invited to visit Crewe after deriding the town on national radio. The grumpy comic told Radio 2 listeners he 'just can't be bothered' to go to towns like Crewe, as there is 'nothing to do'. But Cheshire East Council leader Michael Jones rejected the criticism and challenged Mr Dee to see for himself what Crewe has to offer. He said: "Jack's famous for his grumpy demeanour, but he should cheer up, get on a train and come up here and see for himself how we're the best connected town in England, with superb road, rail and airport links. "Crewe's a working town with a fabulous cultural offer and, even though I'm a fan of Jack, he is living in the dark ages."
