Lancashire day
Did you know tomorrow is lancashire day?
The day when we celebrate everything Lancashire ....... BBC NEWS | England | Lancashire | Lancastrians' pride in heritage 10 REASONS TO BE PROUD Eccles cakes The Trough of Bowland Andrew Flintoff Blackpool Tower Wayne Rooney Uncle Joe's Mintballs The Beatles Victoria Wood Windermere Lancashire Day As part of its campaign the group has adopted 27th November as Lancashire Day, this being the day in 1295 when Lancashire sent its first representatives to Parliament. It was first celebrated in 1996 with the Loyal Toast to "The Queen, Duke of Lancaster". Lancashire Day paralleled the similar Yorkshire Day, first held in 1975. Lancashire Day has been widely publicised, including mentions on the BBC website. [27] It has also been supported by both district councils [28] [29] and the county council. [30] borrowed from wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friends_of_Real_Lancashire Have also found a list of what is happening on lancashire day!!! http://forl.co.uk/004/lancday2008.html

Re: Lancashire day
I could lose count of the number of essentially Lancashire things I'm proud of, though some are from the past. Here's a few they put in the top 10 (was Windermere ever in Lancs?).
Chorley cakes Tripe Black puddings Lancashire cheese George Formby Gracie Fields Peter Kay Les Dawson Bill Beaumont Sir Tom Finney The Ribble Valley Pendle The Fylde coast I could go on but we'd be here all night.
