SOME people must lead a miserable life if they find time to object to advertisements like the one for Bolton's Warburtons' bread.
With so much to do in life, I can only feel sorry for them. I must admit I find many adverts amusing -- not that they influence my shopping, I hope.
I am sure no Boltonian would complain about Warburtons. Few families have done more for the locality. Not only have they provided us with jobs and food, but they have helped so many other local organisations -- too many to list here.
Earlier in the year, on a Spring Bank Holiday, my great-granddaughters were visiting from the Channel Islands, and we decided to go to Moses Gate County Park to "feed the ducks".
When I arrived there I was very perturbed, it seemed that half of Bolton had had the same idea. The lake was afloat with bread lying on the surface of the water, completely ignored by the birdlife which had obviously had its fill of bread. My great-granddaughters come from a determined family, and insisted they would "feed the ducks".
I was amazed to see that when they threw their bread on the water, ducks, geese swans, and other birds flocked from all over the lake to eat it. We were fortunate, I had taken Warburtons' bread. Obviously Bolton birds prefer Bolton-baked bread -- Warburtons.
I go further than that -- why do Russian Swans fly all the way to Farnworth to spend the winter at Moses Gate? It seems that even the good news about Warburtons' bread has travelled across the world to Russia!
