Another thought came to me today as I handled a pair of clog irons - a pair of clogs showing the soles. It is my belief that clogs have souls as well as soles.They are synonymous with Lancashire. The Whalley poet Jimmy Fell wrote a cracking poem which begins
"What says 'Lancashire' to thee ?"

He lists all sorts of things and ends each verse with something clog-related. It ends with

"It sweeps away the mists and fogs fro' memory does t'ring o'clogs"

I think Jimmy wrote the poem for me, as I had prompted him to write one.
