It's LANCASHIRE DAY!
« on: Sunday 27 November 16 11:07 GMT (UK) »
To the people of the city and county palatine of Lancaster

Greetings!

Know ye that this day, November 27th in the year of our Lord Two Thousand and Sixteen, the 64th year of the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, Duke of Lancaster, is

LANCASHIRE DAY

Know ye also, and rejoice, that by virtue of Her Majesty's County Palatine of Lancaster, the citizens of the Hundreds of Lonsdale, North and South of the Sands, Amounderness, Leyland, Blackburn, Salford and West Derby are forever entitled to style themselves Lancastrians.

Throughout the County Palatine, from the Furness Fells to the River Mersey, from the Irish Sea to the Pennines, this day shall ever mark the people's pleasure in that excellent distinction - true Lancastrians, proud of the Red Rose and loyal to our Sovereign Duke.

GOD BLESS LANCASHIRE
AND GOD SAVE THE QUEEN, DUKE OF LANCASTER.

Are you going to the "fur in your fair coat"? 

And who knows the difference between "Worrall" and "Darrell"?  :o

I was born in Crosby, Waterloo.  When we moved into a house in Ashton in Makerfield  I went to  Johnsons the dry cleaners to borrow a carpet cleaning machine.
She asked. Me if I wanted a bucket.   So I replied No.  I have one at home, at which point she thought that I was a time waster.  ;D

But, she was actually asking if I wanted to book it.    ;D

Of course there is!

The traditional Lancashire flag, a red rose on a white field, was never registered. When an attempt was made to register it with the Flag Institute, it was found that this flag had already been registered by the town of Montrose, Angus, several hundred years earlier with the Lyon Office. As the Flag Institute will not register two flags of the same design within the UK, Lancashire's official flag was registered — in 2008 — as a red rose on a gold field. The background was chosen as it, along with red, are the livery colours of the county.

P.S. I was formerly a member of The Flag Institute! ;D
