Talking Re: Blackburn Royal

Being one of those very old people that you refer to garinda I can remember the Queens Park Workhouse first hand. As a child of about 8 I took up residence there with my parents and brother just after the war whilst my dad searched for a house or just rooms to rent in Accrington. We also had a spell in Moorlands, I think it was called, on the road from Haslingden to Rawtenstall when a landlord threw us out of one set of digs.

I think that the new BRH will be a rousing success and the old BRI had got past it sell by date by many a year. I never had a problem parking close to BRI but then I have a Blue Badge so I wouldn’t.

As senior moderator on the Golden Talk Forum I make off topic drifters stand in a corner for an hour and for really serious drifters I make them kneel on dried peas.

I will now punish myself for going off topic and stand in a corner for one hour wearing a dunce’s cap.
