Lancs

Sir Lindsay was originally elected to Parliament as Labour MP for Chorley, Lancs, but the role of the Speaker is politically impartial.

"Accent change is often like a puddle: it dries up in most places and leave remnants around the edges, hence why Cornwall and East Lancs behave similarly here today."

Police have implemented a number of road closures on the East Lancs Road and are urging motorists to avoid the area and those in the area to disperse.

"I was sat watching the Lancs game on the live stream and I saw her in the garden, just sat on her own..."

His accent – could be Yorkshire, could be Lancs, almost certainly not Brummie, despite the real Miles having been born in Sutton Coldfield – is mined for comic effect.
