Like hell it was Peters idea, just ask Lynne Wilson who worked on this idea with her for a good part of last year. I'm not often compelled to comment on Accy Web but credit where credits due please. Panoptican in Rhyddings Park, excellent idea Neil, do you want me to put it to Mid-Pennine next time I'm over there? LOL

Oh Clare, don't disillusion me!:eek:

I'll have to adjust my tally, if as you say this wasn't Britcliffe's baby.

:D

Sorry Clare.

All I was trying to say was that I didn't have the original idea so I didn't want crediting for it. As it happens I do, after dredging through my memory, remember a meeting a long time ago when the idea was brought up as a concept.

To be honest, i don't want to get in the middle of a political battle on this because it's such a good idea that I don't want it spoiling. I'm happy to give credit where it's due though.

I do believe that the European City of Culture for 2009 is to be the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, best known up to now as being the place to go for a weekend's p**s up. However, it seems to me that, seeing as the Russkies are up to their old tricks again, the place could get invaded next year, so it may be best to stay at home. The alternative (for all you culture vultures like me) would be to have a couple of weeks in Hyndburn and participate in this splendid initiative (apparently thought up by everybody in the town).

We have already had a foretaste of things to come with the audience reaction to Jekyl and Hyde, which provoked a level of critical comment and audience participation rarely seen outside London's Globe Theatre.

So maybe we could get one of the IT boys on here to stick a link on to the Vilnius culture website so that every time someone hits they are redirected to the Hyndburn one. If the jobs done right, then the borough could expect a good couple of million visitors next year.
