Only the men though Cashy .. not the women, and they are ? percentage of the population. When I have been travelling, or on the 'phone, can't remember once getting this reaction from a woman. The women were more interested in Oswaldtwistle ... querying the origin of this odd sounding town name ...
Was great for breaking the ice on a sales call.
I still believe the Tories are doing the correct move by offering outsiders. I would not vote for Janet Storey (just summat put me off her) and who else in the Hyndburn Tory camp is fit to do the job without losing votes due to the fact that they are not popular away from the cocoon of their wards ? They need someone with a great personality, credible that they will do their best for us and a decent track record. Businesses appoint M.D's that have no experience of the industry they are invited into, and make a damn good job.
The Conservatives will just have to play on the fact that lots of people may just be (insert your own expletive) at the present Government.
As said before, Graham Jones was the best choice for Labour due to the fact he is popular with a good majority of voters outside his Peel Park ward .. me included.
