After all, they wouldn't want to be reminded that a Welshman usurped the throne of England.SuperiorLibraryAssistantnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-18307400720130149112009-06-12T13:48:43.974+01:002009-06-12T13:48:43.974+01:00There is no such thing as a traditional Lancashire...There is no such thing as a traditional Lancashire Tudor rose.

The amounts of money involved are usually plucked out of thin air. As previous responses have noted, the stationery will be reprinted eventually anyway, vehicles get repainted, etc., etc. <br /><br />Probably this is being whipped up by the sore-losers seeing their precious little emblem being discarded.<br /><br />Symbolic changes can be very important.archroynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-66954056247816341822009-06-11T17:04:40.265+01:002009-06-11T17:04:40.265+01:00Dizzy, I suppose you're a bloody southerner so...Dizzy, I suppose you're a bloody southerner so I have to forgive you for not understanding the symbolic importance of such things :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-90610860442145616032009-06-11T17:01:45.963+01:002009-06-11T17:01:45.963+01:00As I'm sure any good Lancastrian would point o...As I'm sure any good Lancastrian would point out, the red rose of Lancaster is <b>not</b> a Tudor rose.

What a surprise, then, that trendy New Labour would seek to replace this splendid, historical device with their oh-so-with-it (and objectionably partisan), faux-New Labour, poxy logo. <br /><br />Good on the Tories. Change the bloody thing. Pay for it by seeing off one outreach co-ordinator.

If, as seems to be intended, that Lancashire County Council reverts gradually to the Tudor rose, the non contentious non politicised traditional symbol of Lancashire good for them. It isn't a logo. It shows to my mind an intent to run services for all. <br />I hope Derbyshire are next. The tired D symbol harks back to a dreadful time under a forgotten jobswoth called Bookbinder who spent loads of public money erecting signs that the county was "non nuclear". I look forward to seeing the Derbyshire rose (red and white) again.<br />Lighten up!!!Williehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04896870037612181561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-68981557227125415732009-06-11T09:00:17.827+01:002009-06-11T09:00:17.827+01:00These Tory councils aren't exactly setting the...These Tory councils aren't exactly setting the world alight with an age of austerity.
