A LOCAL village's website hit the head­ lines in a national news- paper's magazine on


Sunday. The site, www.grindle-

tributed to sections on history, gardening, poetry and walks, the website presumably provides a modem version of the social glue, we call community spirit.

At first glance, the slice of pasto­ ral Englishness that is the web­ site for the village of Grindleton in Lancashire looks as if it is a spoof.
