    I have it on good authority that Percy is currently spinning in his grave.

    Good Old Rochdale, my home town.

    Once had the largest MP (Liberal) in England at way over 20 stone, Sir Cyril Smith.
    Birthplace of the Co-Operative Society and you can still go to the first ever Co-Op in Toad lane, Rochdale

    As for "spinning", a very good pun George as it was a hive of the Cotton manufacturing industry many years ago. Indeed I spent a couple of years working in the weaving factory that was built by John Bright, a philanthropist as well as a business pioneer back in the 1800. The only way to communicate in the weaving sheds was by lip reading, even over some 60 feet away!

    It does of course have a magnificent Town Hall and one of the widest bridges in Europe over the river Roch (but you won't see if if you do not know where to look). Buried beneath this bridge is another very small sandstone bridge over which the Duke of Wellington marched his troops.

    I was there a few weeks ago - a long way from my base in NSW! I may rest you assured that a pint of T. Taylors from the Cemetry Gates in as good as when I left the UK 22 years ago.. Rob
