[Margaret Pilkington]

If this girl was as high as Less estimated, then surely she could have floated to Blackburn, always supposing the wind was in the right direction.

I have walked...or I should say, set off walking to blackburn on many Sunday mornings for an early shift...because there were no buses at that time on a Sunday morning......and very good people have stopped and offered me a lift......so i think that maybe her state of inebriation...or whatever you want to call it didn't help her case.....and neither would a stream of profanities.
I would defininitely help a mother and young child.... other than that I don't give money to beggars...but will give food and a hot drink (which I will purchase)....if they do not want this kind of charity from me then they can twist on it.
