Just to help the confused, is that Barton Le Clay, Chorlton, Manchester, UK or another one?

No Les, the thread refers to sissy southern Barton with the effete hyphens - not the real Barton of tripe festival fame. You can still buy a clutch of cottages in real Barton for under a tenner.

It has been pointed out by a number of people (er... my wife) that we should use the full name: Chorlton-cum-Hardy, after the bad winter of '49, perhaps a small problem then.

As for the sissy south, are we talking south of the Mersey ie Wythenshawe or South of the Bollin where Tolkien once ruled?

Les - you really shouldn't concern yourself with things that happen south of the Bollin. Nice tunnel though, under the airport's R2.

Perhaps you right, some folks say nothing good will ever come from south of the Bollin, but since most folk will say anything and most of us Mancs came from somewhere else anyway I will say no more.

Now, it has been suggested that sometimes I go on these threads merely to draw attention to Chorlton Folk Club, er since you ask Thursday Night (no, no stop this).

So where is Barton Le Clay and can we get their on the Metro?
But yes it is a good tunnel that one.

Many apologies northern people

It refers to Bedfordshire - Barton Le Clay

Where you can't get a rabbit hutch for less than half a million

just get on A6 near Manchester & drive 180 miles south

I hear evil lurks near Carlisle

Is it true?

Sorry mate, we are all out getting apronfulls of coal from the hill, preening our whippets with pigeons dipped in dripping and dreaming of the time when our houses will command a three-figure sum.

You should come to the scratching house in proper Barton one day very soon.

I wish I could

But the road through Northamptonshire's not very safe

Can you give me asylum

PS

Do you eat your whippets if they lose - they'd fry very well
