Definetely not Bannys in Colne. Has really gone downhill. Holts in Nelson is still supposed to be good and always looks busy. Used to visit Holts frequently during winter months pre and post covid. Been disappointed in the fish&chips from Holts on the last couple of occasions though. Went last week...

It’s time to bring in draconian measures. We should reverted to bringing back stocks in town centres as a deterrent. Name and publicly humiliate these **** bags. I’m sure the perpetrators would not feel so ‘proud’ in front of their mates after being pelted with rotten tomatoes, fish, sponges soaked ...

Just a view on people thinking £24k/ year is insufficient for a young person to live off. Pensioners have to manage on less than half that. Pensioners are not job seekers. So the advice for anyone currently approaching pension age ( 67) would be - don't retire, carry on working ( obviously after lea...

I remember the miners strikes of 1984 - was at Preston polytechnic and can still recall a lecturer stating our coal reserves were running out, making mining more expensive and UK had to find alternative supply anyway.

Back in the mid 1970’s my father once had a 1 litre clear glass bottle of ‘holy water’ ( Poitín) confiscated from him by Liverpool customs, despite hiding it in the boot of our car, on returning to Liverpool port.

Thanks for all the tips and information. Some impressive campervans. I retired a few year ago and my partner retires soon - hence our vision of 2-3 month tour.

Have a similar question wrt to pitch markings in the modern game. In the past no player could enter a penalty area while a goal kick was being taken and, if I recall correctly, could only enter the area once the ball had crossed the penalty area marking line. The goal pick was taken from the corner ...

I'd sack Gareth, appoint a temporary manager( one who displays at least an ounce of passion and barks instructions) and bring in a whole new back room team .

great post. its the new trendy thing to slag Gareth and the england team off. we're going into a quarter final, we are progressing in the tournament. have some positive thoughts for a change, wont kill you.

When you buy your ticket insist on getting a designated seat. Long story and trains tend to be packed. Last May my partner and I bought tickets at Heuston ticket office for the Dublin- Galway train.

Strange one to class football support as being ‘tribal’ as though it is rooted in Neanderthal man. Almost suggests such supporters support a town/ area irrespective of the sport that is played.
