Anyone in Blackburn?

Hey all

Am currently spending my weekdays in Blackburn as I am on my 'year out' from University. I wondered if there were any other DFWs in the Blackburn area that could give me some DFW tips on the area? Where to shop etc?

I work for a really big company/organisation and I am convinced there must be another DFW out there!

Thanks

Annie

    I'm not in Blackburn, but I do travel there to buy some food.

    I go to the 3 day market,the other side of the daily market.
    Food wise, there is a fab butchers...Whittakers....really good quality and reasonably priced.
    I also buy turkey sausages from Margerisons and bacon from a little stall run by a mother and daughter. The bacon is stacked on shelves and sliced in small quantities. The maple cure is devine. :T
    There are a couple of good fruit and veg stalls, with some real bargains to be had from the one that is in the main walk through.

    There are some folk from Blackburn way on the Old Style board, maybe try asking on there also.
