Ripley steered Northants to a second Twenty20 triumph in just four years as they secured NatWest T20 Blast glory at Edgbaston last Saturday.
The Steelbacks beat Nottinghamshire Outlaws in the semi-finals before seeing off Durham Jets in the showpiece.
It was a stunning achievement, especially considering the size of the budget at Northants, who have limited resources but a squad full of talent.
And Wakely believes the continuity that Ripley has instilled was key to this season’s white-ball success.
“You’ve got to give David Ripley a lot of credit,” the captain said. “There’s a lot of thought taken into when we sign players. Seekkuge Prasanna, for instance - I’d rather have him for the whole year rather than go and sign someone on big money for four or five games.
“The continuity helps.
“If you look around, one of the reasons why we’ve been successful is that over the past few years, we’ve managed to play pretty much the same side throughout the competition.
“If you look at Notts, they’ve chopped and changed their side and sometimes that doesn’t always work.
“It’s a massive advantage that other teams brought players in for finals day.
“Greg Smith was one of the best players for Notts all year and then he’s not playing. I don’t agree with that, but it is the way it is.
“You’ve got some international players and they’re going to come back and play, but we don’t have that problem and that’s a massive reason why we’ve come here and done what we’ve done.” | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/skipper-wakely-salutes-steelbacks-boss-ripley-after-t20-triumph-1-7538245 | en | 2016-08-22T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/af87a0ee97eb12033c1d890c8568b0b3e2f334e9ecc7a85d09313d6ac29e9ff5.json |

“At The Latimer Arts College our students are at the centre of everything that we do.
“It is a great privilege to share days like this with them.
“I would like to wish all of our Year 11s the very best of luck for the future.
“We are now turning our attention to the new school year and welcoming applications for our Sixth Form.
“Interested students should contact us at the earliest opportunity.
“We also look forward to welcoming students who are joining us in Year 7 in September as they begin their GCSE journey - they are coming to a great school.”

A new survey of parents found that they are struggling to keep up with the rising costs involved in helping their children learn to drive and get motoring independently.
On average the process of taking to the open road for the first time now costs £7,000 - factoring in the cost of lessons, a car and insurance - and parents across the country are footing much of this bill.
Almost three quarters of parents in the South East (73.5 per cent) said they had paid for their child’s driving lessons. With them costing £24 on average and the Driver Standards Agency recommending 47 hours of tuition, that adds up to a potential £1,128 just to get them ready to sit their test.
On top of that, more than three quarters of South East parents (80 per cent) also help their children buy their first car, with a third (33 per cent) stumping up at least part of the deposit for a car. And more than half (52.3 per cent) of those surveyed revealed that they continued to pay out for regular maintenance, insurance, cleaning and even buying accessories.
Once their offspring have passed their test and secured some wheels, the biggest cost facing the Bank of Mum and Dad is getting the kids insured. The latest figures reveal that the cost of insurance alone for young drivers has risen by 13 per cent in the last year and for a 17-year-old now stands at £2,013 a year.
In a bid to bring these costs down many families are turning to technology. More than half of parents in the South East (53.6 per cent) have installed an insurance company ‘black box’ or dashboard camera. One in five (20 per cent) have also agreed to a high excess to reduce costs, while 42 per cent have put their names on their child’s insurance policy to lower payments.
Neil Addley, managing director of NFDA Trusted Dealers, said: “The survey findings show that each year the costs associated with learning to drive rises, putting a strain not only on learners, but also on the Bank of Mum and Dad. Increasing prices means there is often a temptation to scrimp on some things, such as the quality of the car, but this can lead to high running costs, leaving you out of pocket in the long term.
“With more and more parents stepping in to help get their children motoring, we have developed a dedicated section on our site which is filled with tips and advice from buying your first car, to the best cars for students.” | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/parents-fork-out-22bn-helping-kids-learn-to-drive-1-7521625 | en | 2016-08-15T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/95e49354a7f364b661a12a57009a9699c7db091b8420b225b112bee966493829.json |

The Steelmen take on Stafford Rangers at Steel Park, still looking for their first win of the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Premier Division campaign.
Draws against Matlock Town and Halesowen Town were followed by a 1-0 defeat at Whitby Town last weekend as a second-half penalty condemned Corby to their first defeat of the season.
Wright insists there is no need for panic following the slow start to the new campaign but he is desperate to chalk up a much-needed first success.
“We need to do it for two reasons,” Wright said.
“First and foremost we want that first win of the season on the board.
“But secondly, we need to do it for the fans.
“It was February when we last won a competitive game at Steel Park and we need to put that right sooner rather than later.
“I am certainly not panicking with what we have done so far.
“And I am definitely not talking to any players or contemplating getting rid of anyone.
“I know people will turn around and talk about us scoring only one goal in three games but we have only conceded one from open play and the defensive side of things was something we really needed to look at.
“I firmly believe the goals will come for us. I have faith in the players that we will score goals and win matches.”
Wright, meanwhile, is hopeful Femi Orenuga’s injury setback won’t result in a long-term absence.
The frontman, who impressed during pre-season, was handed his first league start on Saturday but had to be withdrawn after a recurrence of his hamstring problem.
And Wright added: “We will be checking up on Femi.
“The positive thing is that on Saturday he wasn’t in the discomfort he was in when he did it originally.
“So I am hopeful that it was just a twinge and not a grade one or grade two tear. We will assess him and see how he is feeling.”

That is because the new back is already more than match fit ahead of his 15-a-side bow for his new club after appearing for Argentina in the Rio Olympics.
He was a staple feature of their sevens side, who reached the quarter-finals where they were eliminated by eventual runners-up Great Britain.
And because of how fit you have to be to play lung-busting sevens, Estelles is perfectly prepared for the rigours of the Aviva Premiership, which begins with a home game against Bath next Saturday.
“It was two months since we started the pre-season for Rio so we’ve been training a lot and it’s been very busy,” Estelles said.
“We did much training, we had a trip to Brazil for 10 days to train hard every day and that helped me to come here at a fit level.
“Rio was a great experience. We played good rugby and had a lot of fun.
“The stadiums were full and it was a great addition to the Olympics.
“It was a great match against Great Britain. We both really wanted to win.
“We had an opportunity but we didn’t take it. We had a penalty, we missed and in extra-time we were determined to win, but they won and we lost a great match.”
Estelles have overcome that disappointment and dons a broad smile as he looks ahead to his trial period at Saints.
The 28-year-old has signed on an intial three-month deal and is hoping he can do enough to make his stay in England more permanent.
“The move happened just a few weeks ago - it was very fast,” said Estelles, who joined from Atlético del Rosario.
“I was going to the Rio for the Olympics and one day before, I decided to come here.
“Everything was very fast and I didn’t doubt that I really wanted to come.
“It was a very easy decision for me. I didn’t think much. I took the opportunity and I’m enjoying it a lot.
“I just really want to play. I’m here to play and learn and to help the team reach its goals.
“I’ll be training really hard to help the team the best I can.”
Estelles looked has looked lively during the pre-season campaign.
And he added: “I’m a guy who really likes playing, who gives everything I have and I will do my best.
“I’m bringing attitude and I can talk about my skills, but I’ll really be trying to push forward.”
Estelles started on the wing against Rotherham last weekend, but he has predominantly been brought in to strengthen Saints’ outside centre position.
And he has already been learning from the likes of Luther Burrell and George Pisi as he looks to make a fast start to life at Saints.
“I’ve watched a lot of them and I’m enjoying it in each practice,” he said.
“Learning from each team-mate is really helping me.”
So how much did Estelles know about Saints and the Premiership before he opted to make the move to Northampton?
“I watched a lot on cable TV. I saw many matches,” he said.
“I tried to follow it as much as I can and now I’m meeting new people and new team-mates, which is the best thing for me.
“I was very attracted to the professionalism of the players.
It’s the highest level and this is one of the best teams in England.
“I’m enjoying it and I’m trying to really take advantage of this experience.
“I’ll do the best I can to help the team.”
One thing that has helped Estelles settle in is the support of the Saints faithful.
And he has really enjoyed the messages he has received on social media.
He said: “A lot of fans tweeted me so they gave me a very nice welcome. | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/sport/more-sport/saints-new-boy-estelles-eager-to-hit-the-ground-running-1-7546985 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/67b748226295c3fe324442121d0c2032068590db7fd29c6d3031ca2454a91389.json |

Along with the resounding success of the whole year group there have been some incredible individual performances.

“They have worked exceptionally hard this year with their efforts matched by our dedicated and hardworking staff who strived to support students in achieving their very best.
“I would like to take this opportunity to once again thank our families who work in a very strong partnership with the academy in supporting all the students.
“These results are yet another indicator that KSA has become a very good school indeed.”
High achievers included Year 11 Student Samuel Blackman, who received eight A*s and two As.
He said: “I am really happy to get these grades and some were a surprise.”
Samuel will now be staying on at Sixth Form at KSA.
Tom Winstone was more than pleased with his results after his hard saw him being rewarded with two A*s, six As and two Bs.

Rosie Sturgess, 22, of Glassbrook Road, threw a glass tumbler towards the face of her friend whom she’d argued with during a night out in Bedford on March 13.
The glass shattered on impact, causing injury to the woman’s forehead, but the fragments of the glass flew into the eye of a further victim, who was also out with friends.
Her vision was able to be saved by doctors, but the impact of the injury meant she required complex eye surgery and she still faces the prospect of further operations in the future.
Sturgess was ordered to pay the victim £5,000 in compensation.
She was also sentenced to 18 months in prison, suspended for two years, ordered to carry out 300 hours unpaid work and was put on an electronic tag curfew for six months.
DC Surinder Ram of Bedfordshire Police said: “This was an example of when drinking gets out of hand and turns into needless violence.
“For the sake of a petty squabble between friends the victim could have been blinded, and still has had to endure intrusive surgery.
“As well as the physical pain and discomfort, the victim will also have to bear psychological scars.
“I am pleased of the outcome for the victim and hope the sentenced passed will make Sturgess – and others – think twice before resorting to aggression in future.” | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/rushden-woman-avoids-jail-after-nearly-blinding-friend-in-glass-attack-1-7544744 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/2893ca95abe581e977b000642216bc8247fc20913eebb90ec8ea057d42964b82.json |

Gladman Developments Ltd has made two separate applications to build houses on land off West Street in Stanwick, but both were turned down by East Northants Council’s planning management committee.
The appeal has been withdrawn
The first application to build 230 homes on the site was refused before the developer followed this up with a subsequent application to build up to 198 houses on the same site.
Both applications were met with opposition, including from Stanwick Parish Council, several town councils in the area as well as hundreds of letters of objection from people living nearby.
Councillors went on to refuse the second bid in March this year, and the developer decided to make an appeal to the Secretary of State regarding their decision.
The planning inquiry was due to take place in October, but East Northants Council has since confirmed the appeal has been withdrawn.
A spokesman for East Northants Council said: “East Northamptonshire Council can confirm that following the recent decision of the Planning Inspectorate to dismiss an appeal made by Gladman Developments Ltd for residential development in Brigstock, the same appellant has now withdrawn its appeal for a similar scheme on the edge of Stanwick.
“The developer has not given specific reasons for withdrawing the appeal; however, the Stanwick case would have seen the council defend similar reasons for refusal.”
Before the appeal was withdrawn, the council spokesman provided the Northants Telegraph with the five reasons given by its committee for turning down the plans for 198 houses.
Their reasons for refusal included the proposal would result in new housing development on unallocated greenfield land at Stanwick without adequate justification.
They also said the location and lack of transportation facilities means the proposal is unsustainable and will prejudice the aims of the Northamptonshire highway development management strategy.
Another reason given for refusal was that the proposed development would fail to conserve and enhance the existing landscape character and historic assets.
The planning inquiry had been due to start on October 11 and was scheduled to last for seven days. | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/developer-withdraws-appeal-over-plans-for-198-houses-on-edge-of-stanwick-1-7546477 | en | 2016-08-27T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/3fdb3c0b8b72a97d8b04acbea3789688fb846cb08b116f80cd6ccc933fef2886.json |

The online retailer today revealed that it is introducing its Amazon Dash Buttons to the UK.
The dinky little gadgets are a one-touch way to order a host of popular products without all that complicated rigmarole of actually logging onto your Amazon account and searching for them.
The Dash Buttons are literally that, small plastic boxes housing a button, which when pressed will connect via wi-fi to your Amazon account and using one-click buying order your selected products.
Each button is linked to a particular item and there are 40 brands available from launch so you can get everything from cat food to condoms and nappies to NERF ammunition delivered to your door.
Daniel Rausch, director of Amazon Dash, explained the thinking behind the devices: “We’ve all experienced the frustration of running out of something we need - Dash Button and Dash Replenishment Service are designed to make that moment a thing of the past.
“Dash Buttons offer the convenience of one-click shopping from anywhere in the home - they can be placed near those frequently used items you don’t want to run out of, and when you see supplies running low, the Dash Button makes it easier than ever to order more. Just press the button and your item is on its way.”
The £4.99 devices are only available to Amazon Prime customers, which means you’ll have to sign up to the £79-a-year service to enjoy the Dash Button’s convenience. The good news is that you’ll get £4.99 back off your first order of each product.
Alongside the buttons, Amazon also announced the UK rollout of its Dash Replenishment Service.

Councillors will be asked to approve an expansion to the school to increase the number of pupils from 45 to 60 per year group, taking the total capacity from 315 to 420 places.
To accommodate the increased pupil numbers, there will be a two-storey extension to the school building to provide three new classrooms for the additional children, plus an outdoor covered play area, subject to separate consultation associated with the planning process.
The building work will cost about £1.2m and will be funded through a Department for Education Basic Need grant.
County council cabinet member for children’s services and education Cllr Matthew Golby said: “Wollaston is a popular school and is expected to be at or over capacity in all its year groups in September.
“We work hard to meet the growing demand for school places in Northamptonshire and by creating these additional places in Wollaston, we can provide capacity for more children to attend their local school.”
The increased pupil numbers would come into effect in September 2018.
The Cabinet will meet to discuss the proposal on Tuesday, September 6. | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/news/council-to-discuss-plans-for-more-than-100-new-places-at-primary-school-in-wollaston-1-7546635 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/c58756a4f248935b35af2334d2aa802e0ca28b4475f0b78fd28b9378e44cf806.json |

“There was a lot of frustration last year because we felt we did underachieve, but if we look back on it and break it down, we’ve taken a load of lessons and things to improve.
“But when you look at it and think that given we had the noose round our neck of the underachievement and what we got wrong, we were still one win off a qualifying place in the top four and we were still European quarter-finalists.
“So while there was a lot of inconsistency and some dark days, there were also some good performances in there as well.
“The talent in the group is unquestionable - we’ve got the group of players - it’s just about pulling it all together and getting that cohesion.
“I think once we get that and correct a few things we didn’t get right last year, start the season with a bang and we’ll be flying from there.” | http://www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/sport/more-sport/skipper-wood-in-optimistic-mood-as-saints-gear-up-for-big-kick-off-1-7545316 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.northantstelegraph.co.uk/6db3cb9c5669359cc9924553f6231629c9cae81a52ee47dc08afe80e65134123.json |

Roads bosses have warned drivers in Accrington that changes to the way traffic is managed in the town centre will come in after the Bank Holiday weekend.
The changes affect the area around Peel Street where the old bus station used to be, with a new one-way system being introduced.
The current system was designed to aid the movement of buses, but with the new station on King Street now open, the area around Peel Street will be opened to all traffic, with more parking also being provided.
This will see 20 new parking spaces on Peel Street, including two dedicated disabled spaces, two loading bays, and a taxi rank.
A further 25 parking spaces will be created on Bridge Street, Infant Street and Bank Street. The parking will be free to use, time limited to two hours, and will operate from Monday to Saturday between 8am and 6pm.
County council bosses hope that the extra parking will provide a boost to the market hall, with some traders reporting a drop in trade since the move of the bus station to Crawshaw Street.
The proposals are also part of the wider Townscape Heritage Initiative (THI) improvement scheme, which includes the creation of the a new town square in Accrington and further improvements to Peel Street and Blackburn Road.
The changes to the one-way system will see:
Peel Street will become one-way from Blackburn Road to Infant Street.
Peel Street will become one-way from Pleck Road to Infant Street.
Infant Street will become one-way from Peel Street to Abbey Street – a reversal of the existing direction.
Bridge Street will become one-way from Blackburn Road to Infant Street.
Bank Street will remain one-way from Infant Street to Tasker Street.
New signs will be put up to indicate the direction of the new one-way system, along with extra temporary signs to alert people that the road layout has changed. The changes will be introduced on Tuesday, August 30.

Ben Lloyd, from Hollins Close in Accrington entered the novice category at the British Natural Body Building Federation (BNBF) competition in Manchester.
Ben, 32, who works as a personal trainer and is the son of Accrington cricketing legend David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, said he had been encouraged to enter by friends and family.
He said: “It was my first competition so I entered the novice category and I was quite shocked when I won.
“I then went up against people competing in all the different categories from juniors right up to the over 50s.
“There were plenty of people there who could have won, I was really surprised to have been named the overall winner. I couldn’t believe it.
“I just wanted to qualify, but I guess I haven’t done too badly for my first competition.”
Ben, who converted his garage into a gym, said he had been considering entering a body building competition for a few months.
He said: “I’d been meaning to do it for a while, a lot of people had asked me why I hadn’t entered up until now, I like going to the gym and I thought it would be good for my business, Ben Lloyd PT that if I was in peak shape it would help my clients too.”
Ben will now go on to compete at the British finals in Scotland on September 25.
The BNBF was established in 200 to give natural body builders a place to complete. Those who compete for the BNBF have to adhere to a strict drug testing policy.
All British finalist are polygraphed and all class winners at every show are urine tested.
He said: “I was nervous for the Manchester competition but I’m really nervous for the competition in Scotland.
“That few minutes before you go out on stage when everybody is getting pumped can be quite nerve wracking, but once you get out on the stage and start posing the nerves disappear.
“I’ve been on a diet, I’ve had to cut down on the fats massively but I’m allowed sweets which isn’t too bad.
“My trainer that I’ve been working with won the Southern heat last year so it’s good to have someone that’s been there and done it to get advice from.” | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/chip-old-block-ben-scoops-11795006 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/3c54cfa9cfcc76ce8c00dcfdb64f4585d6c18867f53e8f65e48dac86e05a70ee.json |

Planning officers at Hyndburn council have recommended for approval proposals to transform a site off Sydney Street into an indoor trampoline arena.
The Observer reported in June how ‘The Jump Works’ will create up to 50 jobs and include interconnected trampolines, angled walls, roll-over platforms, slamdunk basketball nets, grab bags, trick airbags, a café serving hot and cold refreshments and a 115-space car park.
Peel ward councillor Joyce Plummer said it will be an exciting attraction for the area if it is approved.
She said: “It’s a very good idea providing the prices are reasonable as we are in a deprived area.
“Anything that brings leisure facilities and jobs into the ward is a good thing. Let’s just hope it all goes ahead.”
A council planning report said they had received no objections and described it as a ‘positive proposal for Accrington and Hyndburn’.
The site is currently used as a family-run car part sales and end of life centre RSC Europe Ltd.
Documents sent to the council by planning agent Harrison Ince Architects said the applicant Sander Douglas now wants to convert the area into a trampoline arena creating ‘much needed leisure, sport, fitness and employment facilities within the area’.
A decision will be made by councillors at a planning committee meeting on Wednesday, August 31. | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/state-art-trampoline-park-set-11792365 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/76d7422a18228dd5729cf74d6ed3915c21ea560a572b3e80738a44d2e79368a8.json |

DanceSyndrome, based at St James Court West, Accrington, will receive the grant from the funding body Spirit of 2012.
Founded in 2009 by Jen Blackwell, DanceSyndrome caters for people with and without learning disabilities, by providing community dance workshops and dance leadership training for people who want to become dance leaders.
It runs a workshop in Accrington at the New Era Centre every Thursday morning from 10.30am to 12noon, with around 15 regular participants, as well as staging performances at live events.
It is hoped the funding will help them expand the range of workshops they offer and hold more live performances.
Jen, who lives in Chorley, is delighted with the award.
She said: “Getting this funding for DanceSyndrome is just amazing. We are helping people to follow their dreams in dance and be more active in society. Being given this money shows that people really see that what we are doing is important.
“It means that we can carry on our work and reach more people to spread our message that we should focus on people’s ability not, their disabilities.”
DanceSyndrome managing director Dawn Vickers added: “Receiving this funding from Spirit of 2012 is a huge boost for DanceSyndrome.
“It means that we can reach out to even more people and show them, not only that dance is a powerful tool for building confidence, life skills and happiness, but also that everyone can be involved in all activities in our society, regardless of whether they have a disability or not.”
Jen, 33, had wanted to work in community dance since leaving mainstream school in 1999, but after 10 years of searching had not been able to find the right training.
She and 14 other dancers, many with learning disabilities, joined forces to form a group of dance leaders, and in 2013 DanceSyndrome was awarded charitable status.
Spirit of 2012 is a trust established with £47 million from the Big Lottery Fund.

The Blackburn and East Lancashire Model Railway show will be held at Hyndburn Leisure Centre on Henry Street in Church on Saturday, September 3 and Sunday September 4.
Howard Foy, from the society, said they are hoping their 50th anniversary will be their best event yet.
He said: “It is actually the 51st annual show to be held by society members - as the group was officially formed after a group of enthusiasts got together to stage the first-ever model railway show in the East Lancashire area in October 1965.
“Several of the founder members are still involved with the group today.
“The society’s annual exhibition moved from King George’s Hall in Blackburn to its present location at the Hyndburn Leisure Centre in 2010 and the show has gone from strength to strength since then.
“In 2011 we moved to our present headquarters in the Business Centre of Oswaldtwistle Mills.
“This has given space to have all our layouts in operation.
“Members of our society also have access to our library of over 1,000 books.”
There will also be Thomas the Tank Engine for children plus demonstration stands of all aspects of modelling and more than 20 specialist traders.
Entry is £7 for adults with free admission for accompanied children. Refreshments are available and there is free on-site parking.
The Society has built many layouts over the years, including ‘Wilpshire’ and ‘Holmfirth’ which were well known on the exhibition circuit, and have won many trophies at shows throughout the country in recent years. Some of the society’s member’s layouts have been exhibited throughout Europe.
More than 15 layouts will be in action this year in all gauges from 0 to Z including Boiler Road (0 Gauge), Deadman’s Lane (00 & DCC), Drem (N), Eccleston (S4), Gresten (H0e), Llanfair Caereinion (009), Llanrug (009), Netinat Lumber (7mm NG), and Oswaldtwistle Town. | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/countdown-50th-anniversary-train-show-11815252 | en | 2016-08-30T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/42f70317d014b8f237e0fa6f88a24fd23743a8640963dc378c8b17daeb563586.json |

And no way has it been selling as well in Europe as it would be if there were an estate version on offer too.
The answer? Build an estate version. That’s what Kia has now done, and the company reckons it’s going to account for about 65% of Optima sales goign forward.
It’s called the Sportswagon, and it looks funky enough to warrant the title, but its style doesn’t come at the expense of practicality. There’s plenty of space in all the seats, as well as the load bay – 552 litres at worst, and a highly praiseworthy 1686 in full tip-run mode.
So it gets the family-hack basics right, and it feels as if it’s built to survive. The materials it’s trimmed out in are tough, even if they look about as exciting as… well, the materials in the Optima saloon.
Similarly, though, Kia remains as generous as ever with kit. Whichever model you buy, it’ll have nav as standard, and once you get to the top of the range the list will include cooled seats and an electric tailgate, as well as a raft of cutting-edge safety gear.
Something else you get with every model, however, is the familiar 1.7 CRDi engine. This is less noisy than it used to be, but it’s still short on refinement in general. You need to keep it on boost to maintain progress, too, which is easier said than done as output falls away alarmingly if you let it drop below the 1750rpm at which the full 251lb ft of torque arrives.
That problem goes away if you buy an Optima with the DCT auto box, which knows exactly when to kick down. This is unavailable on the entry-level 2 model, however; it’s optional on the mid-range 3, and standard on the top-spec GT-Line S.
On that subject, the Sportswagon range starts at £22,295 and climbs to £30,595.
So your money buys you a big, usable estate whose engine isn’t very nice. Aside from that it seems as pleasing to drive as you’ve a right to expect, with adequate performance and well controlled body movement to go with lasting grip and accurate if hardly electrifying steering.
That seems to add up to a wagon with the right stuff and a bit more on top. It seems to make most sense if you stick with the lower-priced models, however. The price of the top-spec version means it has some extremely talented opponents to knock down, but at the bottom of the range there’s not an awful lot else that can give you so much practicality for your money.

The F-Pace is aimed squarely at the Porsche Macan, which it aims to match for entertainment while beating it for everyday usability and value for money.
One look at the price tags on the cars tested here and you might think it fell flat on its face. But look again. The F-Pace has 20” rims, sat-nav, adaptive shocks, reversing camera and a powered front passenger’s seat, and when you spec those on the Macan the £6k price difference shrinks to just a few hundred.
The Porsche does still cost less, though. And it’ll hold its value far better, too. Finance experts predict that over three years, the F-Pace will cost almost £10,000 more to own.
So, it’s looking a bit shaky on the value front. What about everyday usability?
Here, the F-Pace scores points simply by being bigger. Rear-seat passengers get more knee room, and the boot has greater capacities in every direction.
Those back-seat passengers do get to control their own climate, however. And while the Macan’s interior is noticeably more enclosed, it’s also noticeably higher quality, with excellent materials throughout. The F-Pace contains more cheap-feeling surfaces than you should have to endure at this price, though its seats are nice enough and it’s easy to get them into a good position.
Swings and roundabouts there, then. So can the F-Pace match the Macan on the road?
Well, both are good. The F-Pace rides more slickly in town, while out on the open road the Macan reminds you it’s a Porsche with a purposeful set of handling skills that include excellent body control and precise, feelsome steering as well of course as grip without end.
The F-Pace isn’t quite as agile, but if anything its steering is even better. Its bigger body does roll more, but its chassis is impressively resistant to oversteer. The Macan is the one that feels like a sports car, but the F-Pace is still a pleasure to drive fast.
Talking of which, there’s little to separate them in terms of real-world performance. The Macan is a little quicker to get up to speed, but both engines pull very well and are coupled to auto boxes which change gear smartly whether left alone or shifted manually.
Both, meanwhile, are well settled on the motorway. The F-Pace feels more relaxed, but against that the Macan’s engine is quieter – and both wind and road noise are better insulated too.
Make no mistake, the F-Pace does a lot of things very, very well. If you like the Macan but need something with more interior space, Jag’s first SUV comes close enough to warrant serious consideration as an alternative.
But good though it is to drive, it doesn’t match the Macan’s sports-car level of agility.
Most of all, though, even when you adjust these SUVs’ prices to take account for the differences in their equipment it’s still hard to make a case for the Jag. The Macan might have less kit, but it has more quality inside to go with its superior driving manners – and when you factor in the depreciation you’ll be stung with if you choose the F-Pace instead, it’s Porsche that comes out here as a clear winner.

A bit of high-speed testing on a warm, sunny July morning, followed by a couple of 60 mile long road routes centred around the back roads of Lisbon prior to and immediately after a nice lunch.
Par for the course really, just part of the job, the only difference is that it could be taking place in any European city.
However, this outing was a little bit out of the ordinary, for it’s not too often a new car launch takes place on a famous international race circuit.
Welcome to Estoril, home to the Portuguese Grand Prix from 1984 until 1996, which saw drivers such as Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher, Damon Hill, David Coulthard and Nigel Mansell all stand on the top step of the podium. In fact, both Prost and Mansell won there three times.
Rookie Ayrton Senna won his very first Grand Prix at the track in 1985, as did Canadian Jacques Villeneuve, who broke his duck in the very last F1 Championship race to be run at the circuit in 1996, lowering the track record to 1min 22.873secs in his Williams-Renault in the process.
But we weren’t here for a motorsport history lesson. We were here to enjoy a first drive of the brand new Honda NSX supercar.
More than four years in the making with R&D teams in Japan and America working more or less round the clock to get it into showrooms.
The original NSX – or New Sportscar eXperimental – was launched in 1990 and enjoyed a 15-year production until it was phased out in 2005.
Featuring advanced aerodynamics and interior styling inspired by a F-16 fighter jet cockpit, it was the first supercar to feature an all-aluminium body.
It was powered by an all-alloy three-litre V6 VTEC engine, mated to either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission and it was simple to drive, unlike the majority of its competition.
Now 11 years later and the latest NSX – or New Sportscar eXperience as it has become – will soon be hitting our streets.
Hand built in Ohio in the USA it sports a turbocharged 3.5-litre V6 engine mated to a nine-speed double-clutch gearbox delivering a stonking 507bhp to the rear wheels.
Now the really clever bit. A 47bhp direct drive electric motor is attached directly to crankshaft, eliminating any hint of turbo lag, while another two smaller 36bhp motors also power the front wheels.
The rear motor also acts as a generator, keeping the batteries charged, while the front-mounted motors supply varying levels of torque on demand to the front wheels, thus enhancing agility, stability performance and response no matter what the car’s speed.
Put all this together and the overall end result is something in the order of 570bhp which blasts the Honda to a top speed in excess of 190mph and a zero to 60mph sprint time of less than three seconds when used in conjuction with the launch control system.
I must admit I was a bit apprehensive on getting behind the wheel of what is a stunningly-beautiful machine inside and out.
With its powerful engine and three electric motors, this was going to be a nightmare to get to grips with, especially when strapped in with little room for movement thanks to the grippy racing seats and with my head at an uncomfortable angle thanks to my crash helmet being pushed forward by the seat’s head restraint.
So into “Quiet” mode and accelerating gently out of the pit lane and on the the track. Quiet it was ... in fact absolutely silent with the NSX purring away using nothing by electricity. In fact, take it easy and it will keep going for around two miles before it runs out of oomph and the engine finally has to fire up.
Turn the dial to “Sport” mode and the Honda turns into more of what we expect from any road-going hybrid, the only difference is that you can sense the huge amount of power that is available to your right foot.
Select “Sport+” and the car immediately stiffens up and becomes a lot more responsive, fabulous for those twisting back roads and high-speed motorway sections, while finally “Track” mode sees the NSX turn into a full-blown race car.
However, never once did the Honda give any impression of being in any way out of control.
Out on the road in “Sport” it behaved like a pussy cat and in the hands of one of Honda’s development drivers for a couple of hot laps, it showed just how technologically advanced the machine really is with all systems working together in perfect harmony.
A waiting list is already open for prospective UK owners and with only around 2000 or so of the hand-built machines being made annually, demand for the £130,000 machine is set to outstrip supply throughout the world for many years to come. | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/motoring/car-reviews/honda-nsx-first-drive-11796842 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/490758c9cff64c0f11df17ce05c3028c20835bf317b6d75364a2c9b4926f9620.json |

THE author of a new book about an Accrington Pal who survived the Battle of the Somme is set to shed some light on his story in a fascinating free talk.
Steve Corbett’s novel ‘An Accrington Pal’ tells the story of one of the few Pals who returned to the town, Private Jack Smallshaw.
Accrington-born Jack was one of the first young volunteers to enlist with the ‘Pals’ battalions that sprang up in Northern England during the autumn of 1914.
Jack’s personal account of his Great War service was published in July by Helion and Company Ltd – coinciding with the Somme centenary.
Lancashire-born Steve has supplemented Private Smallshaw’s writings with his own extensive research – going through the war diaries and narrative accounts of the brigades and battalions which served with the 31st Division throughout the Great War to compile An Accrington Pal - The Diaries of Jack Smallshaw.

Former gunner Steve, who completed two tours of duty in Northern Ireland in the 1970s, said: “I grew to know Jack quite well during the course of writing the book.
“Throughout the course of the war, I could trace the deterioration of his health, which was caused by long days and nights spent in appalling conditions while manning the frontline trenches.
“I also went into considerable depth when covering some of the later engagements which the Accrington Pals were involved in, but the book is first and foremost about Jack.
“It is the story of how he survived four long years of fighting for his country.”
The reading event will take place at 11am on Thursday, September 1 on the first floor at Accrington Library, with Steve reading an extract from the book and introducing artefacts of the Great War.
There will be the opportunity to ask questions, and light refreshments will also be served.
Branch manager Katherine Walsh said: “Accrington Library is the home of the William Turner collection of photographs and artefacts which relate to the Accrington Pals – a subject that was of great interest to him and which he spent many years researching in order to tell their story.”
As an Accrington Pal, Private Jack Smallshaw was a member of the battalion of men who are perhaps remembered more than most, due to the appalling tragedy which would befall them on the killing fields of the Somme. | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/author-pals-book-host-talk-11818914 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/acc4165d80e7110e1f59c339db7d3be3242d82a8f02f5bde838c0b05c87fb30d.json |

Josh Field was cycling into Accrington along Manchester Road near to The Victoria pub, before colliding head-on with an oncoming car.
The 17-year-old was lying on the street in shock when the van driver picked him up and dropped him off at his home in Baxenden before driving off.
Josh, who works part-time at the McDonald’s restaurant in Rising Bridge, was treated for cuts, sprains and ligament damage and is now suffering with ‘severe pain’ to his ribs, back, neck and shoulders.
His £800 bike was also left in a ‘complete mess’.
His mum Claire Field, 39, has appealed for help to find the van owner.
The mum-of-three said: “We put an appeal on Facebook and it’s been shared over 530 times.
"If he’s local then I bet he’s seen it. I just hope he comes forward.”
The bike Josh was riding at the time of the collision.
The incident happened shortly after 2.30pm on Friday, August 19.
Lancashire Police have appealed for information.
A spokesman said: “We are appealing for information that may lead to the identification of a witness to a collision involving a 17-year old cyclist on Manchester Road, Baxenden that occurred around 2.30pm on Friday, August 19 as the cyclist was heading in the direction of Accrington.
“The witness was driving a White Nissan NV200 (pictured) and following the collision, the driver took the cyclist and his bicycle home before driving off - but did not leave his contact details.

“The cyclist attended hospital for treatment having received some bumps and scrapes. However, his road bike was damaged beyond repair.
“Were you this witness, did you witness the collision yourself, or do you know someone who drives one of these vans and would likely have been in the Baxenden area around this time?

Post Office worker Aftab Sarwar and takeaway employee Adeel Iqbal were stopped on Perth Street after their back VW Polo car had been reported to the police following an earlier disturbance.
However when the police tried to arrest driver Sarwar and passenger Iqbal they were mobbed by 70 local residents who were ‘shouting and heckling’ and ‘putting phones in their faces’, Burnley Crown Court heard.
When the car was later searched officers found a Samurai sword, knives, baseball bats, golf clubs and £420 worth of cannabis in the boot.
Sarwar, 29, of Garbett Street, Accrington, pleaded guilty to affray, possessing offensive weapons and cannabis.
The father-of-one who works as a counter clerk at the main Post Office in Accrington, was jailed for nine months.
Aftab Sarwar, 29, of Garbett Street, Accrington
Iqbal, 21, of Higher Antley Street, Accrington, pleaded guilty to affray and was jailed for six months.
The part-time takeaway worker had applied to change his plea to not guilty.
However this was rejected by Recorder Craig Sephton QC.
Prosecutor Neville Biddle said the incident started shortly after 8pm on July 2, 2014, when a member of the public spotted a man armed with a metal bar chasing another man down Royds Street shouting ‘what the **** are you running for? Come on then’.
The court heard how the offender then got into the VW Polo which later arrived on Perth Street.
Mr Biddle said: “It’s clear a very ugly incident was occurring on that street at that time.
“As the police were speaking to the occupants a large number of people came from surrounding houses with as many as 70 people there at one point.”
Adeel Iqbal, 21, of Higher Antley Street, Accrington
A statement from one officer read out in court told how they were being ‘filmed and heckled’ and the ‘atmosphere felt hostile’.
Sentencing, Recorder Sephton QC said: “You were both partied to this disgraceful behaviour and both charged with affray.
“There was a serious risk that there would be a serious public order problem. You had offensive weapons in an explosive situation.
“You both pleaded guilty at the last possible minute before the trial.
“There’s no other sentence appropriate in this case other than custody.”
Defence barrister Mark Stuart said ‘there will be consequences’ for Aftab Sarwar’s actions.
He told the court: “It’s ridiculous for a defendant who’s now 29, and who was 27 at the time, to have got involved for the first time ever in any group activity.
“He had then, as he’s had for some time, a decent job.
“He works for the Post Office as a counter clerk at the main Post Office in Accrington.
“He’s been there for eight years. It’s obviously a responsible job and one that requires honesty and he knows there will be consequences for him at the end of these proceedings. Fortunately enough even though at least one weapon was produced on the street no-one was injured and no-one has complained about the matter.”
The court heard how Iqbal, who has a previous conviction for robbery, tried to change his plea to not guilty.
However the judge said Iqbal ‘fully knew what he was doing when he pleaded guilty’.
Stuart Kaufman, defending Iqbal, said he was ‘immature and needed to change his ways’.
He told the court how Iqbal has not re-offended since 2014. | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/jailed-pair-who-cruised-streets-11795088 | en | 2016-08-25T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/2933c9a918ed43934ff9fc7306f69f55b08246c3727bd70356136a6cf52a1e43.json |

Accrington Stanley 1 Burnley 0 (EFL Cup Round Two)
Jubilant Accrington Stanley achieved one of the biggest results in their history after they knocked Premier League Burnley out of the EFL Cup.
Matty Pearson got the only goal of the game in the final minute of extra time to earn his side a historic win at the Wham Stadium and send the Turf Moor millionaires crashing out of the competition.
Stanley were rewarded for their win by being handed another clash with Premier League opposition in the third round, with John Coleman’s side making the trip to West Ham United.
It means the Reds will be involved in the first ever domestic cup match to take place at West Ham’s new London Stadium.
Stanley were lively in the opening stages of the match and went close through Pearson, but his effort went into the side netting.
The Reds then had to be alert at the other end as Elliot Parish managed to punch away a Michael Kightly free kick.
Despite an indifferent start to the League Two campaign so far with just one win from four games, Stanley showed their mettle against Burnley, who were recently listed among the richest 30 clubs in the world.
There were plenty of strong tackles going in throughout the first half, with Shay McCartan the first man to go into the book for a foul.
Burnley had several chances after that, with the best falling to Kightly when he got on the end of a corner from Lukas Jutkiewicz, but he headed straight at Parish.
Accrington continued to give their all despite being three divisions below their opponents, with Mark Hughes firing an effort inches wide.
Sam Vokes missed an effort when he should have done better, before the Burnley man was then shown a yellow card moments later after a late challenge.
Burnley's Andre Gray (right) and Accrington Stanley's Seamus Conneely battle for the ball
Seamus Conneely had Stanley’s last chance before the half drew to a close, with his right footed shot from outside the box just off target.
Burnley were the livelier team after the interval, with Accrington appearing to tire as the match went on. Vokes continued to threaten, while Jutkiewicz also had the opportunity when he headed towards goal, but the chance went begging.
Both teams turned to their substitute’s bench as they tried to find a winner, with Rommy Boco coming on for McCartan, while Andre Gray replaced Vokes.
It was end to end from that point onwards as the Reds seemed to find a second wind.
McConville forced a save out of Nick Pope before Parish was required to keep out Johann Berg Gudmundsson at the other end.
The match headed into extra time, and it looked like Stanley had wasted the best chance when Boco’s header was superbly kept out by Pope.

The aptly-named Royal Nail, opened on Whalley Road, Accrington, last week.
The salon, run by 34-year-old Kim Isherwood, of Bluebell Way, Huncoat, boasts a 10-foot chaise longue in the waiting room and a Hollywood-style, lit make-up station, complete with directors’ chairs.
Kim, previously a manager in the civil service, is a mum-of-two and is following her dreams by launching the salon, having always wanted to work in beauty.
She explained: “When I left school I wanted to do beauty but I ended up taking a more academic route. I started a nail course in the evenings a few years ago , as a hobby, and have developed from there including a full time course at Blackburn College and various brand specific training courses and masterclasses.”
Kim took over the premises from her dad David Gregson, who owns it and was postmaster for 30 years until it closed 12 years ago.
Kim, who is married to husband David and has two daughters, aged one and two, took redundancy from the civil service and decided to invest the money she received in the salon.
She said: “I have chosen the name in tribute to my dad and the building’s heritage.
“My family has been amazingly supportive of this venture and my father in particular is pleased to see the building have life breathed back into it, as it has stood empty for many years.”
Working alongside Kim at Royal Nail is 19-year-old beautician Abby Greenbank, who is also studying at Blackburn College and will soon be offering massages and holistic treatments alongside more traditional beauty services.
Kim added: “I am incredibly proud to have achieved my dream of opening a salon, I love what I do and making people feel glamourous and special is really fulfilling.
“Whilst being a great mum is and will always be my number one priority, I want my girls to be proud of me and to know that you can do anything and achieve whatever you dream if you set your mind to it and work hard.
“I feel the salon brings a touch of glamour to the local residents.”
Royal Nail is offering customers 25 per cent off all nail and beauty treatments throughout September.

Councillors agreed to support the plans for The Evergreen School after the school’s trustees presented their proposals at a Communities and Wellbeing Overview and Scrutiny committee meeting.
The school, which will be open to children aged 11 to 18, is hoped to be opening in September 2018.
It has been awarded a place on the New Schools Network’s Development Programme, which is designed to help groups that want to set up new free schools.
Trustees are now preparing an application for government funding and their chances of success have been boosted after the council said the plans fit with its ‘strategic vision to improve the educational standards in the borough’.
Council leader Miles Parkinson said: “The council supports the proposal for The Evergreen School, a new free school in Great Harwood to provide secondary education.
“The creation of the school fits within the council’s strategic vision to improve the educational standards in the borough and address local industry and employment issues.”
Trustees said the school will have a ‘distinct ethos’ and focus on STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) subjects, sustainability and the environment, creativity, independence and community spirit.
It will also follow the national curriculum as well as offering pupils an ‘individualised learning experience’ through the use of project based learning, outdoor education and workshops with industry professionals.
Police Inspector Andy Moore, chairman of the trustees, said the school will provide parents and pupils with greater choice and help to raise education standards in the area.
He said: “The response to our plans has been really positive so it’s all systems go as we push on with our application for government funding.
“We believe the addition of a new free school with a supportive, collaborative, outward focus could help promote an upward trajectory of school improvement across the town.
“We aim for all pupils to achieve a minimum five A*-C GCSE including English and maths and achieve the Ebacc.”
The school’s trustees said they have already been inundated with expressions of interest from parents of prospective students since they unveiled their plans at the end of May.
Any parents of prospective pupils who wish to register their interest or find out more are being invited to visit www.evergreen-school.uk . | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/new-free-school-great-harwood-11802744 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/7db555bdae4f3d7f0451f06f623b50b618670decd02d52bbb3ba89adcc6897c1.json |

John said he felt that, after 37 years in the ministry, the time was right to retire.
He said: “I’m 64 now so age was a big factor, but I felt it was the right time to go, and my congregations have accepted that.
“I enjoy the work, I like working with people and making special occasions extra special by performing a good service.
“I stepped down as area dean of Accrington two years ago when I knew I was going to retire, to concentrate on my parish.”

Paul Hart, 49, died at Royal Blackburn Hospital on February 24 from severe injuries sustained in a road traffic collision in Clayton-le-Moors on February 20.

Burnley Coroners Court heard that Mr Hart was two and a half times over the legal alcohol limit when he drove at 80 miles an hour along Grange Street before colliding with a mini roundabout.
But a coroner ruled that could not be sure that Mr Hart intended to kill himself and recorded that he had died as a result of a motor collision.
The inquest heard that his friend David Hargreaves - who Mr Hart had known since he was 17 - was a passenger in the car and also sustained serious injuries.
Flowers and tributes to Paul Hart, 49, from Clayton-le-Moors, who died on February 24 after a road collision.
He said on the evening of the collision Mr Hart seemed uncharacteristically ‘upset’.
The inquest was told that Mr Hart, formerly of Clayton-le-Moors but more recently of Hapton, had recently separated from his wife of more than 20 years and was having financial difficulties.
Mr Hargreaves said: “He seemed upset, not moody, but very upset about something.”
The pair went to a nearby pub to have a ‘conversation’, but Mr Hargreaves said they discussed ‘everyday things’ and Mr Hart no longer seemed upset.
They then left intending to meet friends, and planned to park Mr Hart’s Fiat Stilo along the route.
Mr Hargreaves said: “We stopped the car to talk. I said to Paul ‘are you depressed?’ and he said ‘I’ll show you how depressed I am’.
“He took his seat belt off and said ‘I’ll drive’. And he didn’t say another word after that.”
Flowers and tributes to Paul Hart, 49, from Clayton-le-Moors, who died on February 24 after a road collision.
The inquest heard that Mr Hart then drove down Grange Street at four times the restricted speed limit, at 80 miles per hour.
Mr Hargreaves said: “I said to Paul; ‘you have showed me how depressed you are’, I said ‘Paul we all go through a bit of this, you don’t want to kill me, you don’t want to kill yourself, you don’t want to kill both of us’.
“The next thing I remember was waking up in the hospital and the policeman explaining that I’d been in a car crash and I still didn't remember the crash.”
Pathologist Dr Richard Prescott told the inquest a post-mortem examination and toxicology report found that Mr Hart had a ‘high level’ of alcohol in his blood.
He said the cause of death was diffuse cerebral hypoxia as a result of multiple injuries as a result of the road traffic collision.
Mr Hart’s wife Jeanette told the hearing that Mr Hart was known to drink to excess, but was ‘normal’ when he drank, and she was not aware of any signs of depression.
She said: “I spoke to him on the Monday before, he seemed upset. He asked if he could come home I said ‘no’. He said he could if he could stop drinking. He could always come home if he stops drinking.”
Friend Debrah Nickerson had been with Mr Hart on the night of the collision.
She described his driving as often “erratic” but said she had no reason to believe the collision was anything other than ‘an accident gone wrong’. She said: “He was a fun-loving guy, to me there is no reason why he would have led to this.”
The inquest heard that the impact speed was between 25 to 30 miles per hour and there was no evidence of the driver breaking or attempting to take avoiding action or deficiencies with the road surface.
Coroner Michael Singleton said: “It would be in my view open to claim in acting in the way that he did Mr Hart intended to bring about the outcome that actually occurred.
“I recognise that it is possible for people to act impulsively, recklessly and dangerously putting their life at risk.”
However he concluded: “It seems to me that I could not be satisfied so as to be sure that Mr Hart intended to bring about his own demise and consequently the conclusion that I reached is in respect to a road traffic collision.” | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/driver-told-passenger-depressed-shortly-11795027 | en | 2016-08-24T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/b8972f235bdf89bee51455ae9ffe9ebac01eeaac63f4ea4a951586520729e4fd.json |

A landlady of a multiple award-winning pub will pull her last pint after 17 years.
Jean Baxter, from the Victoria Hotel on St John’s Street in Great Harwood, will retire on Monday, September 12 after taking over the 111-year-old pub in 1999 following the death of her husband, Stephen.
The grandmother-of-ten, 70, who was a nurse before becoming a landlady, has seen the pub win 15 awards over the years including Most Improved Pub and Pub of The Year, in 2014, but now she is calling time on her career.

She said: “I’ll miss the socialising part of my job and all the regulars but I’ll still pop in.
“I don’t get a full day off - only nights off - and it’s just getting hard work now on my own.”
Jean, who is originally from Lancaster but has lived in Great Harwood for 40 years, lived across the road from the pub when she decided to take it over.
The Victoria pub on St John's Street in Great Harwood.
But she has lived above it for the time she has been landlady there.
She said: “I was a nurse in Lancaster before but when my husband died I decided to change career.
“I could run about then and my daughter, Debbie, ran the pub with me at first but then she had children and it became too much for her.
“I’m looking forward now to spending more time with my grandchildren as I’ve missed out on that really since working here.
“It’ll be hard not clock watching though.”
The pub, a Grade II-listed building, is the only East Lancashire pub listed in the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)’s new edition of Britain’s Best Real Heritage Pubs.
The pub will also feature in Camra’s Good Beer Guide next year.

Its distinctive Art Nouveau decor with green and cream tiles and a horseshoe shaped bar is a second home for many regulars and has even seen TV actor Dominic Brunt, who plays Emmerdale’s Paddy Kirk, pop in for a pint.
As for Jean, her favourite tipple is a Porter or a Stout ale.
She said: “I like to have one to socialise.”
The owner of the pub, Phil Entwistle, will take over the pub when Jean leaves.
Jean’s daughter, Debbie, 51, said: “I don’t know how she’s done it over the years - and by herself.
“I wouldn’t know where to start!”
She added: “It’s time for her to enjoy herself now though.” | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/great-harwood-landlady-set-retire-11823783 | en | 2016-08-31T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/8f651e7efdaaaf43a92f699070536362d1ad814aa13febd53179378a9e572243.json |

Susan Roberts had visited Jonathan Andrews’ home on Gladstone Street in Great Harwood on April 17 this year to drop off his washing and saw him lying on his bed.
Blackburn Coroners Court heard how she ‘shouted to him’ but there was ‘no response’ and she ‘thought he was asleep’.
However less than two hours later the 32-year-old’s brother and housemate Carl returned and found him dead.
A post mortem examination by Dr Richard Prescott found the astroturf fitter had a ‘critical narrowing’ of one of the three coronary arteries and had also taken an unknown quantity of cocaine several hours before his death.
Dr Prescott said the artery had narrowed ‘up to 90 per cent’ and anything over 70 per cent could lead to someone having a heart attack.
He told the hearing: “I think that’s what happened in this case unfortunately.”
Dr Prescott said the artery narrowing was not caused by any substance abuse.
Mrs Roberts said her son had been diagnosed with high blood pressure at a young age, had been receiving tablets from the age of eight or nine, and was receiving regular hospital appointments until two years ago.
The inquest heard how she had attended his home earlier in the morning and he was sat on the settee.
However when she returned a few hours later with his washing he was upstairs in his bedroom.
Mrs Roberts said she received the news of his death from Carl as she was returning from a dog walk.
Carl said the last time he saw his brother he seemed ‘very normal’ and was ‘plodding along with his day as he usually does’.
He told the inquest that Mr Andrews took cocaine ‘very occasionally’.
Coroner Michael Singleton said Mr Andrews’ death was caused by natural causes and was contributed to by cocaine use. He told the family: “Jonathan had an undiagnosed heart condition.
“He took cocaine which had the effect of placing an additional strain upon the heart, leading to heart failure.
“I deal with many deaths but there are some which are close to home. This is one. I knew Jonny through my daughter and Jonny is the same age as my son. You have my heartfelt sympathy.” | http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/news/local-news/mum-thought-dead-son-just-11803478 | en | 2016-08-26T00:00:00 | www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/b6bd6e1fc66999510be7588fa4c46d64d3a47c37f1af3c0e3f0929a4e6f1adef.json |

Recently, I saw an article on a New York Times (NYT) recipe blog talking about cold rice and soba noodles. Inspired, I began to research cooking noodles and serving them cold or at room temperature. Cold means room temperature for me rather than fresh from the refrigerator. I tried out truly cold and found it acceptable, but enjoyed the flavors much more when the bowl (see my recipe below) that I had preserved from the day before, reached room temperature. | http%3A%2F%2Fwww.myrtlebeachonline.com%2Fliving%2Ffood-drink%2Farticle98110597.html.json | http://www.myrtlebeachonline.com/living/food-drink/7yaj2o/picture98110587/ALTERNATES/LANDSCAPE_1140/IMG_1797 | en | null | Cool Dinner Options for Hot Summer Nights | null | null | www.myrtlebeachonline.com | 1:46 Sub Zero Ice Cream in Myrtle Beach gives new meaning to the word "cool" Pause
