An Expensive Interview

Joe filled up his car with water and oil, drove to the bottom of the road and the clutch cable broke.

So we wound up driving him to Bolton.

It was a good interview. The guy says he'd employ him like a shot but first he (Joe)has to get the qualification he's already started working towards. So that's three weeks intensive study and....

Item: 3 Weeks Course work- £440
Item: I new clutch- £ 70

Total: £510

But it'll be worth it in the long run.

Right?

Bolton as in "Lord Scope of Bolton"?

It's a lovely place, as I recall, and not all that far from Middleham. Isn't that a long slog, th ough?

It must be a different Bolton. I believe there are several.

I don't think anyone has ever described this Bolton as a "lovely place".

It's a large town to the North of Manchester, chiefly notable for its truly fantabulagorical town hall.

Oh. "My" Bolton is just across the dale from Middleham and it chiefly notable for its castle.

I imagine a fantabulagorical town hall would be remarkably photogenic, hint, hint.

Next time I'm up there I'll try and take its picture :)

there's a Bolton, Massachusetts. my best friend and her family moved there after sixth grade because Framingham was "too settled" for them.
