Re: Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
I quite like the bees. At least that one is symbolic of Blackburn.

Re: Singing Ringing Tree, Burnley
If you wish to live in a world without human created beauty, why don't you all live in boring little box like houses and wear prolatarian uniforms, or move to Russia.

It's fake crap! God (or who ever did it) gave us a natural beauty to admire rather than a man made metal sculpture.
Human created beauty is found in architecture of beautiful buildings, again IMHO. Not some crappy metal monstrosity plonked on some of the most beautiful scenery in the world.

They feature on the Blackburn Coat of Arms and they used to be on all the black bins and bollards in the town. The town motto is something to do with them too. The hardworking bee has historically been the symbol of Blackburn. That's why the new radio station chose it for its name.
Here endeth the history lesson.
