It can only possibly be through health reasons so you have my deepest sympathies, John.

Best not to regale you with delightful stories of beautiful Moorhouses ales, fresh from the pump at the end of a summer's day then....?

I know it's 'Dingle Beer' but they've got a cracking brewery up there and no mistake.

I can see the headlines now.....

'RISHTON TERRORIST ARRESTED IN RACISM PLOT'
A Lancashire man was arrested today after police raided his kitchen and found materials that are known components of potentially dangerous objects known locally as 'Eccles Cakes'. Ken Moss, 32, of Rishton in Hyndburn was defiant as he was dragged away and insisted that the cakes were for personal consumption. His wife, who cannot be named for legal reasons, broke down in tears and was released on bail following her arrest for aiding and abetting terrorist activity in the UK.
It is understood by Metropolitan Police that the Eccles Cakes were due to be 'baked for England' on 23rd April for St George's Day. The move is believed to have been racially motivated and has been condemned by government officials. The trial continues.
If you want to avoid the hassle, take a little trip to the great province of Newfoundland and Labrador, where St. George's Day is a provincial holiday Have a feast of seal flipper pie ... wash it down with screech or swish ... pop round to Dildoe and have a few beers with the folks there ....

We're a week off our annual excuse to be patriotic and it's on a Friday too. Let's make something of it this year.

If we didn't have so many people interfering with our lives we wouldn't have to rely on 1 Day in a year when we could have an "excuse" to be patriotic about being English !!

Surely it should be Lancashire Hot Pot - then you don't need any foreign muck with it.

Seal Flipper Pie tastes a lot like hot pot ... well, it does if you are drunk enough And it's not foreign .... it's from Newfoundland.
