Lancashire Footnotes Episode 103 - A Collection of Almost Insignificant Fylde Villages

[@thevoid902]

I think it's Brian's cheerful narration that keeps me watching these episodes. Another good 'un pal.

[@wyrearchaeology1]

I'm well known for my cheerful optimism. 🤪

[@Kevin-cm4ey]

Great to see a new video, as always this and all of your others highly entertaining and informative. Your eloquent dry Lancashire wit really makes the content well worth watching and never fails to make me laugh (out loud and a lot!). I only found your channel a couple of weeks back, keep 'em coming 😊

[@wyrearchaeology1]

Thank you, Kevin. We'll do our best to keep 'em rolling.

A Charles Babbage footnote: I went to school with his grandson. Bill. That's not his name I'm called Bill.

[@wyrearchaeology1]

The question is, was he a whizz kid at I.T.?

[@liammills6522]

My 2nd great grandad had he's own seat and mug in the hand and dagger and could walk home to top of the hill at boltons croft now there's a insignificant place.

[@wyrearchaeology1]

I've moored up close to the Hand and Dagger quite a few times myself...although I didn't so much walk home down the towpath as stagger. 🥴

I think the lancashire tourist board should snap you up to be the face and voice of this most noble county. Who could pass up the chance of a days excursion to the boggart capital of the uk. Haslet buttys and a bottle of brown ale thrown in , Pee stops on demand.

[@wyrearchaeology1]

Being old and having dodgy bladders these days our usual last stop of the day (or halfway through the day if we've had too many coffees) is at the Flower Bowl at Broughton, because they're always open and their loos are easily accessible. We've now affectionately come to call the place 'The Toilet Bowl'...

Nice one Buzz, F the Mogg! HMS Nightjar? Well I never.

[@wyrearchaeology1]

Ta. (Don't ask me why it was called HMS Nightjar...presumably they were running out of names.) 🤪

That wouldn't surprise me. They've got to have something, I suppose. 😜

You've worked wonders, sir, wonders. Would a length of reasonably-fresh Duct Tape be of any use with Jeanie McIntosh's exhaust? I have one available, it's only been used twice. As the commentator below says, you all ought to be lashed to the Lancashire Tourist Board somehow. Or perhaps the Yorkshire Tourist Board, to show them how it's done.

[@wyrearchaeology1]

We used up the last of our duct tape on Jeanie McIntosh's mouth after she got her zimmer caught in a drain cover in Southport.

[@KokowaSarunoKuniDesu]

Our vacuum cleaner doesn't pick up fluff as fine as you've besomed together here. There'll be bluebirds over Coniston before you get to the interesting parts of Lancashire then?

[@wyrearchaeology1]

We've got Coniston Water in our sight, as soon as we've found a way of strapping the exhaust back on and it stops raining long enough to get there. (So, yes, when there's bluebirds racing across the waves again, probably... )

av had me meds now I get it, more tea vicker?

[@wyrearchaeology1]

These films are best watched after medication...preferably somebody else's.

I think your 'not actual' count is a record..but I liked the actual woman in a long black coat .

[@wyrearchaeology1]

That's Jeanie McIntosh (sans Zimmer, of course)...actually. 😜
