Lol Eddie,
I have no idea where Lancashire is.

As for the Lancashire Evening Post, there is a web site called FARK, www.fark.com where people submit weird news from all over the world, along with a (usually very witty) headline. If it gets posted, you get the submitted headline, the actual article and a forum to talk about each and every article...

Great time waster!

Example: There was an article about a pet python that escaped home, and British police/city residents were trying to find it.

The user submitted headline was this:
"Sheffield residents asked to keep an eye out for Tracey. She weighs 12 pounds, is 11-feet long, hasn't eaten for two weeks and is shaped like a python"

That got me hooked. It is the only site except Synthzone that I log every day.

Ahh, and I am Greek, not a British ex-pat.
