Burnley

[Lord Buckethead]

5 things about Burnley.

1) During Burnley’s BNP voting period a few years back, the fascist Council drew widespread condemnation with the reintroduction of their traditional annual Race Riots.
2) Burnley is currently the subject of intense Scientific Research when it was discovered that the Town is incapable of sustaining Hipster life. It is hoped a widespread cure can be found for other parts of the Country within the next decade.
3) Bénédictine and hot water, known locally as "Bene 'n' Hot" is a popular local drink, after soldiers stationed in Normandy during WW1 formed an addiction to it. The Burnley Miners' Club is the world's largest consumer of the French liqueur, and has its own Bénédictine Lounge
4) The residents of Burnley still wear clogs to this day in tribute to the Crusty Anarco-Punk Band Chumbawamba who popularised the act of throwing clogs at John Prescott
5) Burnley will be officially the last UK Town to leave the 1970's, whenever their love affair with sideburns, orange and brown suits, flares and racist politics ends.


What are your thoughts, memories or drug-fuelled hallucinatory mind-farts about Burnley?
Go!

I can only assume Spurty, that you have been afflicted with heat stroke from wearing that bucket on your head all this time.

Reading these (well the first few lines then got bored) is like watching Ashley Williams trying to pass it out of deference

To whom do you think Ashley Williams is deferring his passing?

How true is number 3?

It is perhaps more true than some of the others.

Good banter

Brassy 50+ women working in a chippy wearing loads of sovereign rings on heavily nicotine stained fingers
who iron their faces in the morning and have cleavages resembling skin on a custard tart
