06 Sep 03 - 04:05 AM (#1013781) Subject: RE: Barton Le Clay - 8th September From: Oaklet 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. |

06 Sep 03 - 04:12 AM (#1013784) Subject: RE: Barton Le Clay - 8th September From: GUEST,Les the confused 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? |

06 Sep 03 - 04:26 AM (#1013787) Subject: RE: Barton Le Clay - 8th September From: Oaklet Les - you really shouldn't concern yourself with things that happen south of the Bollin. Nice tunnel though, under the airport's R2. |

06 Sep 03 - 04:36 AM (#1013791) Subject: RE: Barton Le Clay - 8th September From: GUEST,Les the confused thread jumper 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. |

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