AND talking of our record-breaking site, regular readers will recall me boasting roundly of our impressive online readership figures, which have hit record heights for the second month running.

In July, This Is Lancashire had a pretty impressive 596,389 requests for pages from our tens of thousands of readers from around the globe, making it by a stretch the biggest local portal in the area.

But that wasn't enough for us, oh no. In August we hit new heights, with 705,514 page requests. Which is flipping huge, I'm sure you'll agree. See what the fuss is all about by having a good root around, why dontcha?
