It won’t sound posher when said in a Burnley accent (nor would it in a Yorkshire one, for that matter)

Is that posh enough for you. 😉

I used to work at Alderley Edge - far too posh for me there.

(If anyone objects, tell them we're just getting a little ahead of ourselves with global warming.)

West Ham, Wolves and Leicester don't seem to havebany trouble so not sure it's needed. It's more about the money more than anything.

What we need is an Amazon Video deal: money or nothing.

Burnley-over-Blackburn sounds good, ( though I'm not sure it makes us sound any posher).

1) You can live in Manchester or Cheshire
2) Video of the players driving down the drive to Gawthorpe in their flash cars, then drone shots of the training ground.
