WHATEVER happened to Christmas in Blackburn? All the main town centre pubs were shut, but for The Blob Shop, which, I may say, had good prices plus a disco

But everywhere else was shut. It was like a ghost town. One doorman I passed suggested I try Blakey Moor area, but I was shocked to see there was only one open.

So, come on pubs, let people celebrate and don't overcharge. When it's Christmas, everyone wants to let their hair down.
