THE Lancashire Quiz in the Bolton Evening News on New Year's Day was just the tonic for two slightly hung-over readers.

We only scored 21, so didn't quite deserve a black pudding, but it was great fun. Congratulations to the compiler, Harold Heys. Let's have more.

Congratulations too to Simon Topliss for his articles on local history in the Saturday editions of the Bolton Evening News. They are fascinating and very readable. May we know more about Simon, such as whether he has written any books?
