I THOUGHT Burnley MP Peter Pike had the right attitude when he wished the Queen Mother a happy birthday -- something which, correct me if I'm wrong, Pendle MP Gordon Prentice did not do.

I thought that was rather mean of him. No wonder our town, Nelson, never loses its 'Little Moscow' tag. I felt proud to be British watching the Queen Mother celebrate her 100th birthday on TV.
