Due to constant lobbying by Blackwithers regulars the Charity Commision has now designated Dec.11th as National No Neck Awareness Day.
We hope to bring to the attention of members of the public the plight of people with no necks and the problems they encounter in their everyday lives.
Please join us by wearing a tie around your head on Dec. 11th. You are sure to be the talking point in your place of work or public house. You may even attract the attention of strangers in the street, all of which helps raise awareness of National No Neck Day.
(National No Neck Awareness Day will also be sponsering the 1.40pm race at Wincanton on Dec. 11th). Thank you for your support.
Blackwithers is situated on the Lancashire/Yorkshire border on top off Thurrup Moor. We specialise in tittle-tattle, fibs and hazy recollections locally sourced from the public bar.

A Bit Crap Then
Rubbish plate spinner...dubious Scrabble word.....Pendle's Got No Talent....no finds in dig....All A Bit Crap Then.
Metal Detecting
Blackwithers regular Arthur Tussle (Canadian Club, no ice) has once again turned up trumps with his metal detecting.
Whilst recently visiting his local branch of Morrison's in Halifax his metal detector (Viking 5), discovered an astounding array of tin cans. As Arthur doesn't own the land (and is a bit of a stickler for the rules!) he offered to go halves with the store manager, who, in turn, offered to call the local constabulary. Arthur parried with the information that a well known breakfast cereal had failed to trigger his Viking 5 despite allegedly having a high iron content.
At this point a Mystery Shopper, who had been admiring the display of organic beetroot, intervened. Arthur was escorted off the premises but not before insisting that the manager re-emburse him for the pound coin lodged in his trolley. Well done Arthur!
(Arthur's biggest find to date has been the perfectly preserved fuselage of a Messerschmitt 109-E that had been gathering dust in The Imperial War museum, London.)

Psychedelic dubstep from sugarcane ghost
Well here it is at last, filmed entirely in the mysterious Trawden Triangle, Sugarcane Ghost's latest (and to my mind most commercial) video. No aliens were harmed during the making of this video.

sugarcane ghost
Bit quiet of late...well not really(!) as legendary artrockers Sugarcane Ghost have been putting the finishing touches to their latest waxing in our cellar. (it's the acoustics...and the barrels.) All the way from San Francisco this unpopular combo will soon be touring the U.K. with deathmetal superstars Megabus. Catch their latest tunes on You Tube or I'll try to put some on here, if I can be arsed.
Just heard that legendary saxophonist P.D. "Lend Us a Tenor" Giddello will be visiting in August! Watch this .
