Well said Mickey!! I always think of the true County Palatine of the Duke of Lancaster's Shire when I say Lancashire. I may only be 33, but as a local historian I appreciate the true bounds of Lancashire, and the County's historical significance. That's also why I refuse to accept the 'County of Greater Manchester'
. I live in Lancashire, I was born in Lancashire, and by the Grace of God, I hope I will die (some time in the very, very distant future) in Lancashire and be buried near the bones of my ancestors! Besides, the world's first passenger railway was built between Manchester and Liverpool - connecting two great
Lancastrian cities!
