I don't live there now Sean. It was the county of my birth, hence my username. Yorkshire people laugh at everything. They say "don't worry about the rain until it comes at you sideways in slivers of ice." It does rain a lot in Lancashire, because that is definitely not God's Own County. If there is any connection with the cotton industry,water would be needed for washing the cotton and dyeing and bleaching. Yorkshire woollen mills were built next to rivers or canals, water was needed to produce the steam that drove the looms. Wide canals carried coal from pit to mill. It was probably the same over the mountains in that other (much smaller) county. The old cottage weavers used to use the water in bubbling streams and rivers, to produce clean cloth. Anyway it is very cold indeed today, where I live. My current place of abode is a sort of, er, secret, that frees me to say my bishop is a nice old chap but ineffectual. I have lived in many places. |
  Catholic and proud of it! Talk to God before Mass. Talk to each other afterwards | |
