SIR: It may not have gone unnoticed that weather-wise, there is not much difference North versus South and Bolton, in particular, who put UK on the map with export of textiles, is now a pleasant smoke and fog free, attractive town with green and clean vegetation. Bolton is also ideally placed with access to anywhere in the UK North or South.
Southerners, who have to travel a long way to the Lake district and other holiday areas, will have to accept this, but old ideas still die hard and now Boltonians prefer to stay where they are and work and play as they please. We should blow our trumpet better and perhaps the media will help
