Aren't we tetchy today ? I'm from outside the area but being a curious soul I looked at the thread, then the attachment, saw it was about the cotton industry & could work out the inferred link between both regions as both were very dependent on cotton & it's manufacture in their heydays.
But then again I like to think that I'm intelligent enough to think things through & come up with answers for myself & not have to rely on some outside agency or department to do my thinking for me.
Many other threads have begun with outlandish titles that those not in the know couldn't understand, but folk aren't getting worked up over it. Relax a little, believe me you'll feel better for it.
