Call me cynical, but I think those 7,000 people in Haslingden maybe being wooed.

All I hope is that it won't cost us a penny, and I pray to God it doesn't involve any new coats of arms.
Yeh, was tempted to mention myself on this thread (or separate) Garinda, just trying to work it all out in me head like. Feel you may be correct re. the wooing .. if their Hyndburn, their Bl**dy Hyndburn.. strange innit ?
