Lancashire Day is held on 27 November to commemorate the day in 1295 when Lancashire first sent representatives to Parliament, to attend the Model Parliament of King Edward I.

HAPPY LANCASHIRE DAY

I challenge Michael Walker to a live debate in the big car park by Leigh Tesco. You have 24 hours to respond.

I wish that were me.

i know everyone's focussed on keeping fascists out and that's very important, but please reserve some hostility for people who post "name a film but replace one word with sausage" stuff.

Hebden Bridge Brass Band played the White Hotel t’other week. I wrote about it. Lots of stuff to be said about England, our industry — new and old — and the melancholia of brass bands. Proud of how it’s turned out. Givit a looksee.
