background information about Luton (Just in Case)

The main city "Just in Case" plays in, is Luton. Justin lives there with his family. Luton is a big city in England, northerly from London, with 203.800 habitants and is part of the area "East of England". In the south of Luton there is one of England's major airports, the London-Luton airport that opened in 1938.

Till 1997 Luton was part of the county Bedfordshire, but today Luton is an independent city borough. The main campus, the University of Bedfordshire (in the past: University of Luton), is based in the town centre. Another interesting thing about Luton is Luton-Carnival - which is the largest one-day carnival in Europe. It is held on the late May bank holiday. Luton also was famous for hat-making and being home to a large Vauxhall Motors factory (the head office of Vauxhall Motors is still located there).

"Just in Case" is written in the past, but I think it plays in the 21st century, because of the modern equipment like for example Agnes' camera.
