THE sales of Peter Kay's live DVD recorded at the Bolton Albert Halls have passed the million mark.

This is no surprise to anyone who, like us, bought a copy. We took it to our daughter in New Zealand for Christmas (we were over visiting our new twin grandchildren, I just had to mention that!) and we laughed like drains throughout.

For Charlotte, it represents all that is best and warm about her native Bolton. For the rest of us, it's simply a way of cheering up any time of the year.
