They already have quite a few wind turbines in Burnley though, they all look the same

The launch day was the windiest day ever but that does not mean that it was not working correctly. It was working perfectly.

It’s going to terrorise the sheep………..

Willow, there's all sorts down the sea front these days, I see things when I'm driving down the Prom but never think to stop and look at it. I love the sea, but I've no time for Blackpool.

Re: Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
Just a link to the East German children's television programme 'The Singing Ringing Tree', from which the title of the sculpture in Burnley is taken.


I was about three when I watched it, and the evil dwarf really freaked me out.

Don't lie you ba***rd, I remember it well and I was a lot older than three, so you must have been.


Hang on, I knew I'd seen that dwarf before, It was sat in a Silver Cross pram we high jacked up ossy for the wheels......
