Boston once imprisoned William Brewster and Thomas Bradford for religious oppression and intimidating normal people, after the authorities around here failed.

Are you telling me something has happened there since Al?

I used to know a young lady from Boston who went around folk festivals with a tight T Shirt with "Tremblers" written on it. Purely out of non interest.

I was brought up in an area where Polish, Ukrainians and others had huge numbers, their own working mens clubs and brought their culture with them.

In 1945

The pits didn't implode. Ferrets didn't move to the Home Counties in disgust and black pudding didn't become smokey flavoured.

Perhaps some in Boston are pointing all six fingers unwisely....
