  • What song is used on the adverts?

  • It's from Dvorák's "New World" Symphony.

  • Oh for the days when the simple things in life kept us happy: family life, licorice, a few kippers and some butter!

    No Xbox and cosmetic surgery then.

  • Great stuff. The north is the heart and soul of England!

  • nickelby68...Facts....minkyroo is talking about the 1973 ad called 'NORTHERN' which was filmed on Exchange St, Colne. complete with the butcher, Richard Laycock, working outside his own shop. He was our family butcher. The ad you're talking about is the 1974 ad called 'Bike Ride', filmed in Dorset. So get back in the water, you're wrong! Google that one.

    ScouseFiles...if you want to speak 'Lanky Twang' CORRECTLY may I suggest a booklet of that name for you to study.'F' word not used minky!!!!

  • Minkyroo....you are the arsehole of the north not Keighley.

    Colne is certainly not what it should be but that's due to bad planning and the fact that we allow cretins like you to drink in what is probably the worst pub we have in Colne....but let's face it...like attracts like, so you and your mate should have felt at home there with (or without) the dog shit under the pool table...which I do not believe for one instant....no self respecting dog would go in that pub.

  • Hey up lad! No GMO inth our day. Eee, by gum! Chuck another mattress on the fire there our luv.

  • Utterly brilliant!
