Dinosaurs we can put up with, Bill Gates would probably be shot:D
Two important questions

That's not Lancashire. You are a bloody Manc!.
Good on you to know there is a big difference between the fair county of Lancashire and these stupid administrative zones. I smile everytime I drive past Eccles police station and you can see the work Lancashire chiselled out of the stone work. Or places like Broughton bridge where they have fitted a sign over the Lancashire coat of arms etc. Then again. The scousers are welcome to their independence.

i have lived here for 20yrs or so and i sometimes struggle to keep up with it myself.mossley borders saddleworth, oldham and ashton-u-lyne which is in tameside but i will not except the fact that i live in tameside i cant and wont. at one point the powers that be were contemplating putting us in yorkshire and i think many years ago we were .That's not Lancashire.

Lol.
Upload your pic to photobucket. Left click on the bottom link so it turns blue, then right click and left click on 'copy'. That copies the link. Then when you post your reply, right click the mouse, then left click on 'paste'. That will put the link in your reply and when you post the reply the pic will be there.
