HOP on board a number 43 bus from Colne to Manchester city centre tomorrow for a tot of Benedictine and the chance to win tickets for the first Northern Food, Drink and Wine Show this weekend.

Passengers who get on the bus to Manchester, which leaves Colne at 11.33am (it arrives in the town from Manchester at 11.25am) will be treated to a "Bene 'n' hot" (Benedictine and hot water), a favourite drink in Lancashire since the First World War when soldiers with the 11th Battalion returned from Fecamp, Normandy, in 1919.

A "First World War soldier" on the bus will hand out the drinks and offer the chance of free tickets to the show.
