I read in a local rag some 18 months ago that there would be nobody farther than 10mins. away from The Royal Blackburn. A mate of mine lives on a farm in Trawden, so the 10min rule is rubbish. It takes more than 10mins. to get through Colne (on a good day) Even in a fast car from the end of the motorway at Colne, to get to Blackburn in 10mins is pushing it.

The bottom line here is that some poor soul will lose their life. It's madness.
