You must frequent some interesting whorehouses, Eric.It looks more like an old chapel to me but perhaps I've led too sheltered a life! Must get out more.
Whichever it is, John Wesley must be turning in his grave.

Re: Parliamentary Boundary Change
Bye-bye Hyndburn.
Farewell Burnley South and Accrington.
We in Arrod want to be off to the Ribble Valley.
Great Harwood petition bid over new boundaries (From Lancashire Telegraph)
They could end up in Blackburn, if they cause too much of a fuss.
