LANCASTER old rogues Mr Pilling Dick and Dr Socrates Gripnerve want to put you in the stocks.

It's all part of the city council's tourism department's attempts to attract the lucrative group market to the city at a stand of the The North West Tourist Board's 'Great Day's Out Fair.' As well as fun ideas like the stocks the tourism team will be issuing a VIP group visitor pack. The fair will be held at the Middlebrook Exhibition Centre, Reebok Stadium, Bolton, on Saturday, February 20.

Pilling Dick and Dr Socrates Gripnerve put Maureen Doyle, a worker at Lancaster's Judge's Lodgings in the stocks outside her workplace.
