He didn't leave to go and build Blackpool Tower.

Lovely pics of the buses Doug, really took me back. I was well interested in the clock though. I used to meet my husband there when we were courting.

Permission requested to use it on my blog xx

I am 47 years old and I feel like crying because one of the best Clubs in Lancashire can't keep them out of one end or put them in at the other.

Just to top things off our new signing embarrassed us today. It's like loosing your first bird, hurts like hell and you are left wondering how you'll cope with life. Stupid I know......But you never know, we always get over it don't we.
