SO Oswaldtwistle councillors want an intelligent conversation with Bob Dobson?
Anyone who wants an intelligent conversation on a subject dripping with irony and traditional, tongue-in-cheek local folk lore humour is, in my book, highly bombastic.
It's a joke, folks! To be laughed at, enjoy the joke and laugh along is an endearing human quality. I have yet to meet a Gobbiner who regards the name as anything other than a bit of fun.
By adopting this highly-indignant stance you have, I'm afraid, demonstrated awful "political correctness".
Get real Lancashire, for heavens sake, and smile.
