ITHOUGHT this council had already reached the height of stupidity until I read about the name change.
I worked in the mills for 44 years and I'm proud of my cotton heritage, cloth cap and all.
If people want to look down on us because of our cotton and engineering image, that's their sorry opinion, not ours.
Do they want to sweep Arkwright, the Spinning Jenny and Crompton's Mule under the carpet as well?
