SIR: I applaud Bolton Council for thinking forward to the Millennium. But, before they go for city status, wouldn't it be nice if they could get us back in Lancashire, then we could be a new city in Lancashire. I have nothing against Mancunians, but I was born a Lancashire lad and always will be one.
I go up Blackburn Road regularly and I know before I get there I am going to pass the sign saying 'Lancashire' and my stomach turns over.
We are letting go of the many traditions and it's time we fought back.
