I have just called into the Rainhall Centre hoping to see the Town Clerk. I understand from the article in the Lancashire Evening Telegraph that the issue will be discussed at the meeting on Wednesday night. Apparently the Clerk is only in until 12 Noon on Monday. I have emailed him for an agenda an...

I was told in the marquee that the WM had to have an extra stone inserted for more names to be added , and that re-siting the memorial was a consideration. It is unfortunate that the councillors presenting the proposal for the memorial did not do their homework regarding the recommendations for app...

Today is a meeting day. First, I will be at the planning meeting for the Centenary celebrations in August for the ILP Clarion House on Ginny Lane. Just about to set off for that. A bit of dinner, and then our first meeting for the Barlick War Memorial Group at Rolls, lot's to discuss in both camps.

In the early months of 1945 as the allies push forward through Europe towards Germany, there is growing optimism in the town that an end to hostilities may be in sight. The BET reflects this in the kind of articles it carries, there are lots of meetings and public debates taking place about local is...

You're right there Stanley, If the memorial was re-sited to the Memorial Gardens it would actually be a lot less prominent than in it's present position. On approach into Barlick on Kelbrook Road, the memorial would not be visible until you reached the garage, at which point you are virtually level ...

The full article from the Craven Herald is now on their website:

Barnoldswick War Memorial could be moved

My Talk Talk connection is still around 17Mbps. They do have their own kit at the exchange though I believe.

I see that the proposal to move the memorial has now been in both of our local papers, the BET and Craven Herald. The Craven Herald article sheds light on what I was told in the marquee on the square when I went in to register my objections to the proposal. I was quite taken aback when I was told th...

Wendy, there is another box under the URL box in the window (enter a description for this page) where you can enter link text. This will give you this effect.

Django Reinhardt - 3 fingers on the fretboard, doesn't get better than this. I can listen to this guy all night.

A dressmakers tape is also 5ft long. Which is why I suggested the cloth connection.

Tier one must be dire then, that's all I can say Kev. Ask the BT engineer when he eventually arrives when the call was booked.

I'm with Talk Talk at the moment who took over from Tiscali. They have their own kit at the exchange and I get 17Mbps solid so no reason to move. Their dealings with BT on my behalf when I had the line problem were good once I had convinced the first line support that I knew what I was talking about...

Hello Bryan, and welcome to the site. I'm sure Doc will comment on your post in due course. Congratulations by the way on the new site it looks very good. We are still in the tweaking stages on here as well as this version of the site has only been running for 4 weeks. I can probably see some recipr...

I don't have relatives in the company and I don't think luck has anything to do with it. As I say, with all my dealings with them over the years I have had nothing but good service. It may be down to the way you approach them, I don't know. I do think though that if you have a permanent downer or a ...

I think what I should have said was maybe a little less versatile as attachments. Yes they are in your post (if you insert them) so you can view them and I suppose copy them but that's it. They cant be commented on except in the thread itself or rated or searched for. They are in your post and in th...

Very unusual for BT that Kev. Once a slot is booked it is normally cast in stone. It should not really make any difference that the visit was booked at the behest of your ISP. BT like the Gas Board is often much maligned for it's level of service, I have never experienced this and have never receive...

Do we not also process most of their waste nuclear products? It's one thing that Sellafield seems to be good at, although that's a matter of opinion

Right Peter, your last paragraph. If you click on the title of the image it will open up with a full view giving all the relevant information about the image. You will see three boxes below the image at the left hand side. If you copy the contents of the Image BBCode box and paste that directly into...

The Ofcom website is now back online so I went on to validate my license an guess what? It seems that due to the expected workload that will be created by the Olympics and Paralympics, those lovely people at Ofcom have validated my licence already for an extra year so I don't need to bother until Fe...

Here is a photo that Gus has posted in the gallery showing the original wooden memorial erected on Fernlea Avenue during the fund-raising stage for the permanent granite War Memorial. The funding for the memorial was provided by public subscription. It's an interesting image as I have not seen it fr...

You will get a BT engineer Kev as they own the infrastructure. The BT guys worked wonders for me when I had a problem a couple of years back.

Tiz, I think the top and bottom of it with the Gallery is that you have to resize the images before uploading to the site. There is no option to control the size between gallery and post. This is the same behaviour as on the old site. Find a a pixel width that works for your posts and run the images...

You could use it to mark a vertical plumb line if you hung it on a pin in the wall.

Is it not also somewhere near the standard width of a warp on a Lancashire loom? I reckon it's out of the mill anyway.
