February 23, 20215 yr It's mainly instigated by the 'Horwich First' group & in particular one councillor who floated out some sort of opinion survey in which under 2k residents ( or even non residents participated).It always a potent move to knock the Metro council for this & that . I suspect one of these councillors being a closet red who hates Bolton Wanderers & therefore everything Bolton connected . But I can't prove it. Political stunt of the worst kind.
February 23, 20215 yr Well they have a few councillors elected now so perhaps a little accountability might dampen their diversionary agendas.

I know I don't live in Bowton any more but who gives a flying fk about Horwich? I remember it just slows you down when driving to Chorley

Love & peace ✌️ Thetford (Norfolk) has an Ipswich (Suffolk) postcode in the early 2000s there was a plan to switch it to a Cambridge postcode in the hope it would bring in investment it didn’t happen so I’m assuming the place is still a shithole

Our's denote an area, their's were just randomly assigned to random addresses all over the country. Seemed a bit mad Edited February 24, 20215 yr by mickbrown

February 24, 20215 yr This has got juvenile pie eater wind up written all over it. They actually think that it bothers us that the Stadium is in Horwich - last time i looked Horwich was in Bolton. Their time would be better spent fretting whether their tinpot outfit will even exist this time next year. Tick tock. Edited February 24, 20215 yr by Burndens Bogs

The IRA encouraged postmen to return postcoded mail undelivered as they could only understand the townland system.
