You joke (I think) but I took my Mrs - who is from London - to her 1st match at the Reebok and we grabbed a McDonalds. When the server asked in a thick Bolton accent “do you want fries with that” she couldn’t understand what he was saying. She asked if he could repeat himself. He did, then she turned to me, blank expression. She had no idea what he was asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's what it's all about" he opines with a sweeping gesture. "Ornate Vistas" The press shrug, seeking more clarification. "Well that's me! My middle name is Ross, so Ian Ross Evatt - it's an anagram of Ornate Vistas! It was meant to be!" Marc Iles feigns indifference but inwardly he's seething he didn't realise it earlier...he'd have got an entire piece out of that one I think Marc Iles is quietly acknowledging your literary contribution to this board In his article today - https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/18561267.inside-wanderers-bolton-just-get-times/ I quote And then, a ray of sunshine peaked over Winter Hill.
