I will not be dragged down to the level you wish to discuss, as it appears you have a lot of experience.

And for that reason, I'm out.
Thank Christ for that amen

I can recall them coming in front of The Market Hall Cashy as I remember standing there watching it & also standing on the corner where The Commercial (Weatherspoons) is. I think they did come down Burnley Road & through the centre & then turn past the Town Hall.
