You should run this from the command line to see the errors and tracebacks.
You have a `firstname` and `lastname` variable, no `name` variable.

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "py_tutor.py", line 34, in <module>
     STATS()
   File "py_tutor.py", line 26, in STATS
     details=name+"\n"+town+"\n"+county
NameError: global name 'name' is not defined

Once you fix that with something like `name = firstname + ' ' + 
lastname` you'll get a further error

Press the enter key to exit.
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "py_tutor.py", line 39, in <module>
     _ = input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit. ")
   File "<string>", line 0

Which is because input() converts the input to an integer so you would 
need to type for eg 0 then enter for it to exit without failing. 
Changing that to raw_input() like the rest of your inputs will fix that.
