It's a new(ish) building that adjoins 'The Station' pub opposite the er... station!

I don't think there has ever been an insurance building by the station.

There are a few big buildings towards the town centre, owned by Royal & Sun Alliance (or whatever they're calling themselves this year).

However, when viewed from Burnley this might qualify as being 'by the station'!

Argh - so many people going to one event - and I feel so alone! Not sure I can make it now - costs for over nights and fuel, and finding some clothes that make me look reasonable may be beyond me.....

Will rethink - If people from the West /north/ south want to use me as a service station - pee / tea etc.. I can accomodate - then maybe I will tag along - may even get son to come too..... (if we can stop arguing about who is passenger and who is driver.....)

And there'll be lashings of ginger beer too, EA. Or possibly Pimms No 1 Cup for those who prefer. But whatever the tipple of choice, there'll definitely be lashings of it. And possibly a few adventures on the way involving suspicious looking men and a dog.

Not a problem we can vary the route and pick you up to enjoy it with us - a large mini bus is required for the food and lashings of cream and butter and of course ginger Beer!
for those not in the know - got read famous 5 by Enid Blighton - it may serve as entertaining reading - and how kids were in times gone by!

Presumably somewhere in the 15 pages I haven't read, someone's pointed out that 17th June 07 is Fathers' Day? Not that anyone in their right mind would support an unnecessary recent American institution of course.

Very true, Ruthie-Baby, and Mothers Day falls around 9 months after Fathers Day !

So June 17th 2007 is the day then. Is anything special being laid on for this OB day. Sunday seems a strange day to have it

Check with Richard Ruck.

I think he has his finger on the pulse.
