------NEW------ Lancashire Fun ---Maybe a gift Idea
Friday, 20 June 2008
A short while ago I muted having a LANCASHIRE FUN section on the site with cartoons by our resident professional artist & cartoonist WALLACE TRICKETT .
These should be cartoons based on real events about yourselves our a friend or family member which are humorous and have a story behind them which we could use on Lancashire Re-United ( keep them clean though ) .
This is the sort of thing I mean . I told Wallace some time ago about a little story about the day my dad a bus driver in Barrow was setting of from the Ramsden Sq Stop in Barrow to Ulverston via the coastal route when he heard a loud cracking sound .and suddenly the front end of the bus slumped forward .
The front axle of the bus had fallen off ,now what made matters worse was just at the same time the manager of Barrow Corporation Transport a Mr Derek Gwynn was just passing by ---I would loved to have seen the look on his face ..
I have framed a print of this cartoon and sent it to my Dad which had me thinking maybe YOU would like to have a cartoon done of a humorous moment effecting you or someone you know that the person recalls then you could send them a print directly from LRU and WALLACE WITH THE FEE PAID TO WALLACE ------who has done so much for this site and ME personally to show our thanks and you would be sending a UNIQUE GIFT to a friend or loved one at Xmas or on a Birthday ,Anniversary -fathers day or Mothers day
Contact me through the Contact LRU tab on the main menu with the story and I will pass it on to Wallace and then you could make someones day as I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MY DADS FACE WHEN HE RECALLS THIS--again and again and again ---
( To see the cartoon at FULL SIZE -- PLACE YOUR CURSOR ARROW OVER THE CARTOON THEN--- -RIGHT CLICK your mouse and then CLICK--VEIW IMAGE
I received a letter from my dad with his comments about this they are as so
BRILLIANT ,BRILLIANT ,BRILLIANT --The pic is now hanging in the best place in the house and you sisters LOVE IT
Thanks Wallace for making Dad extremely happy
