Be sure to click the other linked films at the end, to find out what Hyndburn is, Blackburnshire, and a Vicky Entwistle.

Not bad ... apart from a few pronunciation issues, like "halgh", and the fact that it reminds me of an entry in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" not bad at all ....

We "typical dumb blondes" might take offence at being likened to cyborgs!
Interesting viewing though , the photo of the backs of terraced houses in Church looks just like the back of Dill Hall lane where I used to play as a little one! We'd scoot down the "backs" to the corner shop opposite Enfield Cricket Club with our pennies to spend on sweets.
