Thanks for that, Dales.

We used to go to the fish & chip place at the end of the Ferry Cafe, but I think the owner died and the family didn't want to carry on running it. I've no idea if it's reopened or if it's any good?

Billy Balfour

Like mentioned above - the bypass or you could come off at junction 12 then head towards Nelson and turn right into Lomeshaye Rd at the lights, then turn right at the top into Hibson Rd. Mind you, it will probably be quicker going through the roadworks.

Apart from great museums that most cities have, I'm struggling to see anything else put forward.

It's supposed to have nice bits but none the working class can enjoy. That's quite a snobby attitude you have there, if you don't mind me saying so. Basically, you're are saying that working class people don't enjoy world renowned museums, libraries, architecture and parks & gardens - all free ...

They come over here, fluttering their fluttery wings, acting like they own the place while pollinating everything grows. It makes me sick.

The RSPB is set up to help birds as a species, not birds individually. They have enough funds and supporters to put watches on the nests of the occasional rare bird like osprey or golden eagle, but not on every sparrow's nest in the country. This. They also protect and provide habitats where endang...

This is off topic, but driving related. The other day I was doing 70mph while driving down the M65 in the left hand lane towards Preston. The car behind was tailgating - not even a car's length from me. He could have overtaken at any point, but no, he was near enough glued to my bumper. If I slowed ...

The good old curry takeaway never gets the same 'condemnation' on here as fish & chips and McDonald's. I love a good curry. I also love decent fish & chips - McDonald's is usually a needs-must meal for me. BTW: What's the best place for fish and chips in the Burnley area? We used to nip down...

Nobody's turned it into a Farage/Robinson thread. We're discussing blatant hypocrisy and deceit - or at least the OP and several others seem to think we are. You might support these "bellends", a few of your "likes" certainly do, you might You were the one who mentioned them in ...

Those flights were cheap because others paid more.

Billy Balfour

If raising the cost of flights means some people have to go on holiday in the uk rather than Spain or wherever than I’m all for it. If that happened - then many holidays abroad would be the sole privilege of the upper-middle classes. I wouldn't like to be the politician who turned round to hard wor...

Billy Balfour

Aye, at least blokes like Farage and Robinson are honest. They're happy to feather their own nests at other people's expense........... Why bring those couple of bellends into this? There's enough hypocrisy when it comes to those who say "do as I say, not as I do" without turning this int...

Blimey. How many names does our saviour have? I know he was charged with contempt of court under the name of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon. I know he stood in the Euro elections as Tommy Robinson. Now maybe this is old news to some of you, but today I find out that he's used yet another name of Paul Harris....

It would be hilarious if Trump granted him asylum, the meltdown by some on here would be epic ! I'd welcome it. Anyway, didn't he enter the US illegally by using someone else's passport because he had previously been refused entry? That's quite a serious matter in any country, but especially so the...

Looks like Turtle was right. I was giving you too much credit with regards to my previous post.

Our judiciary should consider contempt of court cases on a cost basis? I never had you down as a thicko, QTT.

I watched this last week along with the Eddie Chapman documentary. I already knew quite a bit about Mincemeat, but hardly anything about Eddie Chapman. Eddie Chapman - a British subject who was awarded the Iron Cross. It's fascinating stuff, isn't it.

Fair play though, they’ve found a way of making money by doing **** all which is what we’d all love to do.
