COUNCILLOR Harkin would like to take Bolton back to the early 1700s, when we were not short of country bumpkins. It is people like him who forget that it was the "flat caps" who toiled and fought to make Britain great.
We have a well known "flat cap" who, in recent years, has helped to put Bolton on the world map -- Fred Dibnah. His know-how has brought revenue into our country.
