Correct John- no offence whatsoever- I'm proud of Lancashire all the way from the Duddon to the Mersey. The sound of Lancashire is the sound of home.

I usually put on my "telephone voice" when reading poetry (for what imaginary audience I know not), but I made the effort to try to be a bit more myself this time.
