Just received the results of the Lancashire Dialect poetry competition for 2006. I submitted two poems and won first and second place, same as last year. I have won the cup now for the last five years and OH says that she is having the doors widened in our house, Lol Still, it is a nice feeling to achieve something. Jeff xx
