Is it just coincidence that so many of you are from the Preston area, or did United Utilities put something in the Ribble?</p>

The board was started by members of The Bowmen of Pendle & Samlesbury, who are in the Preston area. Though one sneaky Yorkshiremen ended up with moderator rights! ;)

<font size="2">Hehe, consider them revoked until you move to Lancashire ;)</font></p>

<font size="2">I think there's only three members of P&S on the board from Preston?- myself, Doc_Haynes and KevinH so that's not too many from Preston. And judging by Doc's and Kevin's accents I don't think they're originally from?the <strike>town</strike> erh... city?(though I could be wrong!)</font></p>

Three's not too many?! Any more than one is too many!! ;) I can say that as an honorary citizen of Penwortham and Preston without offending anyone ;)??I served my sentence there.</p>

Shame on you, Dave! You should know better...(pssst, it's?been a?city for 3 years!).</p>

Dave's right I'm not from Preston. Originally born in Brum, where I spent the first 16 years of my life although my home remained there for 27 years. Spent about 20 years on the south coast, mainly in the Portsmouth area, 5 years at Swaffham in Norfolk and a total of about 8 years in Scotland on and off, and 2 years in Singapore. Moved to Preston about 12 years ago (my sentence is obviously longer than Clickerati's!).

Here's the plan, Doc...</p>

I'll bake a?file in a cake (hmm, this job might require a chainsaw) and I'll be waiting for you at the city limits (yes, Dave, it's a city!) with?the getaway car ;)</p>

You must've been baaaaaad to get a sentence like that. I thought mine was bad, but it looks like I got off lightly!! ;)</p>

Although...shhh...I do miss Booth's ;)</p>

Unfortunately it's a life sentence, with no time off for good behaviour! But I do like the cake idea tho', with a few pounds of TNT in it so I can start tunnelling.

Clearly we need to work on your aim, if you're missing Booth's!

Doh!...I walked right into that one, Doc! </p>

But another crack about my aim and I'm not only withholding the cake, but the TNT!! You'll have to dig yourself outta that life sentence with a spoon (and I have it on good authority that northerners don't eat their cake with a spoon, so you'll have one free for digging!) ;)</p>

Funnily enough I too am a sneaky Yorkshire dweller who has risen to be a moderator. But, spookily enough, I lived near Preston till I was 12, and my father shot somewhere in the area. So perhaps drinking Ribble water does have an effect.
