SOME folk have been talking about something being sited at the top of our famous Coppice and one of the things mentioned was some sort of UFO.

Hyndburn Council are now discussing what should be done with our fountain, which has been obsolete just a few months after it was erected.

Can I suggest that it be dismantled and rebuilt at the top of the Coppice in the form of a UFO. It will then be a reminder not as an unidentified flying object, but as a 'Useless Financial Outlay' -- same letters, different meaning.
