In the interests of not cluttering up queenortart's space

mr_malk asked me some questions, viz

"Is Warks/Worcs a tradtional rivallry or your own private prejudice? (Or are you [Heaven forfend!] a closet Lancashire supporter?!)"

W/W is indeed a traditional rivalry. I think some Worcs folks would prefer a Glos rivalry, but they're too busy with Somerset.

As for Lancashire, did I not mention the ancestral connection? My father's from Ormskirk way and we have census records from 1821 onwards of the family farming on the same patch of land at Melton.
