The problem is that New Labour won all these True Blue Tory seats up there that they should have never really won in ' 97 and held onto them , e.g. Chorley - Lindsay Hoyle off Den Dover , Joan Humble - Fleetwood , David Borrow - South Ribble

The Tory was a gentleman ( rare ) - he did apologise saying it was very close and shook her hand though .

I'm afraid Geraldine is a quite a loss , I can remember her absolutely wiping the floor with :lfo and nailing him to the wall re one of those stupid off hand " Hi - Di - Hi " Joe Maplin type letters he sent out to all the RM staff .

Apparently this " new wave " " management " " style was thought to be a failure , hence the appointment of Bryden
