    ..........a real whale
    .........nothing to do with the story of one on the back of a lorry

    .........nope, talking to this guy who told me that a whale was buried where we were standing. And just after it were buried the ground used to wobble when you walked over the area

    Any guesses were we were?

    East of Thurnscoe is Hickleton.. which isn't in BMB

    Its Pikeyland. Oh wait a minute, the Pikeys hijacked our Whale on the lorry and ate it and buried the few remains in Hickleton Golf Course.

    At the risk of looking foolish when this thread reaches its denouement...

    ...this is Nudger's best thread in over 5000 attempts, the intrigue is quality. And it doesn't even have a ridiculous number of pointless full stops in it.

    Just worried about his definition of 'East'

    Not sure anyone in Bolton on Dearne's ever seen an animal other than a pit bull terrier or a pigeon.
