Talking to an old chap when I was in hospital and the talk got round to local old sayings and as he was from Padiham I asked him if he knew why people from the town had got the nickname Thicknecks,he answered that and he also gave me the answer as to why old Padihamers gave the nickname Waterwalkers to people from Burnley,bit of a quiz but does anybody want to have a go at giving me their answers,could be some interesting replies.
