No third day. The disappointment was etched into the organiser's face on Spotlight last night. Does that count? |

And with it being local it won't get a mention on the national news so unless it hppens in your area, you are unlikely to hear of it. -- Col Bolton, Lancashire 160m asl Snow videos: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3QvmL4UWBmHFMKWiwYm_gg |
