🌹 Celebrating Lancashire Day!
Today it is Lancashire Day and to our Yorkshire friends we say…
"We're r**t good uns, on t' proper side o' t' Pennines, us."
Translated, that simply means: We are on the right side of the Pennines.
Lancashire Day marks the historic anniversary of the 27th of November 1295 when Lancashire sent its first representatives to Parliament. It is a chance to celebrate the county’s heritage, its industry, its people, and the communities that continue to shape our region today. At Pure Companies, we are proud to live, work, manufacture, install, and innovate in Lancashire and beyond.
To mark the day, we’ve taken a few familiar phrases from life on site, in the workshop, and around design desks, and given them a Lancashire twist.
"Works grand on CAD, but bu**er all in t'real world, like."
(It works in CAD but not in real life.)
"Ey up, it's a right rush job an' all... but we've not quite sorted t'look o' it yet, aye."
(It’s urgent, but we haven’t finalised the design yet.)
"Ey up, model says it fits like. Doorway's havin' none o' that, mind."
(The model says it fits. The doorway strongly disagrees.)
"Is that yer best whack? Aye, an' it were t'first 'un an' all."
(Is that your best price? Yes, and it was also the first one.)
A light-hearted nod to the work we do, the people we work with, and the place we call home.
Happy Lancashire Day from all of us at Pure Vent, Pure Fabs, Pure Labs, and Mach Aire .
"Ey up, check how we sort owt right proper tough jobs, wi' gradely work, dead good stuff, an' know-how."
