Better late than never...........Today is 'Lancashire Day'. It was on 27th November 1295 (?) that the first men who were in effect Lancashire's MPs went down to sit in the king's parliament, and so this date was chosen to be the date when Lancastrians rejoice in their priveleged birth and proclaim their allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen, the Duke of Lancaster. Many will be wearing a red rose. I will be so doing in the Peel Park pub tonight, drinking Lancashire-brewed ale and eating Lancashire-made food.

Want to know more? Google 'The Friends of Real Lancashire'. This is the organisation which is behind the day's events throughout and beyiond the county boundaries and which does much to maintain those boundaries. Just for the record, Wigan , Bury, Manchester, Rochdale, Liverpool, Southport and Ulverston are in Lancashire - Take no heed of what local government officials say. There is no county of Greater Manchester , nor Merseyside.
