I’ve just seen photos posted in Ightenhill FB page. There’s a load of litter scattered all over the place. I’d love to have watched the farmer spraying cow excrement On the ones that left it. Good on him.

Natural skins are the key to a good sausage. We used to get them in salt wrapped in newspaper from the abbatoir. Soaked in cold water they then slide easily onto the sausage machine. Lots of Supermarket sausages Are plastic skins that stay in your gut for days until they dissolve. A good mix of Minc...

The pies were ok but what went in the sausages during the war and the ration was anyone’s guess. There were the court cases of underweight turkeys, livestock sourced from unregistered providers across Cumbria and one court case ( the ox liver case) just prior to him becoming chairman that could have...

I think Clarets4me's right, Lord would have welcomed the sky television money and understood that staying in the Premier league was vital. However, don't think he would have liked Sky calling the shots on when games were played and there would have been a clash there. I'd be less sure of him spendin...

Trumps press conference last night was worth staying up for. I thought , I’ll give it ten minutes, then another half hour went by. The “total control” bit seems to have done him some damage according to this mornings reports. If you missed it do watch the whole 1 hour plus it goes on for without a c...

In terms of silverware, no other manager has (so far) achieved what John Howarth did. Harry Potts came close.

Trumps latest is a three tweet rant about how his nightly news conference figures are above some of the prime time TV shows.
He is just not plugged into reality and living in his own little fantasy world.

I was working in London at the time and my boss gave me two half-days off to travel down and back. Travelled down from Paddington at lunch time and got down there around tea time (I hadn't realised Plymouth was a four-to-five hour journey from London). It's one of the most picturesque railway journe...

Around 7:40 this morning Dan Walker on BBC news asked Michael Gove if Sports Direct are an essential service. Gove said no. Ten minutes later the Chief Financial officer for the company said they would not be open.

The strict lockdown implemented in China seems to have worked according to the WHO’s data. The number of tests carried out in some other South Asian countries also seems to have detected cases early and that’s has helped. There’s no guarantee that it won’t return anywhere until a tested and working ...

Was in Aldi in Burnley this morning around 9:30 to do the regular shop. The car park was almost full, the odd space free. Inside shelves full, no shortages, no crazies stacking trolleys sky high. Business as usual. It did look like more people were staying at home and possibly working from home. In ...

Ive always thought since the Burnley FC exhibition at Towneley back in 2000, that we need a permanent exhibition at Burnley so fans can go and see things like the trophy cabinet in the Bob Lord. A museum as several Premier League sides have would be a fitting tribute to our heroes of the past and pr...

Not fly on it but lived under its flight path for four years.

Drove from Burnley to Halifax yesterday (Thursday) at 10:00am. Took an hour and 20 mins going. Biggest hold up was Mythomriyd but there are other bits of roadworks along the route. Coming back at 3:00 took an hour to get back. Some of the temporary road works had gone. I’d leave yourself additional ...

so many stories of Lord. Dave and I had to cut out a lot of stuff as the publisher imposed a word limit. Hopefully we have provided a fair and balanced account of the man himself.
