DIDN'T this great home-made poster on the Commonwealth Games cycle route at Horwich say it all?
There are still many people living in the south in particular who honestly believe that we all talk like Jack Duckworth in Coronation Street, keep whippets and have no brain under our flat caps. We can only hope that the stunning scenery of Rivington, the terrific organisation of the Games and the wealth and calibre of the volunteers speaks volumes.
Sadly, since they're all deaf and daft south of Watford this seems unlikely!
