sent to outlying addresses throughout the area asking a vanety of questions about police services m the coun-, tryside. Those receiving the sur vey are being urged to fill in
the forms and return them ■ quickly, so that the police can promptly work on the information. Inspector Bob Ford, of
Clitheroe police, said: “We’ are anxious to collect as much data as possible from them, so the more question naires that are completed', and returned, the better able we will be to gauge what people feel and want regard ing rural policing.” -,■ The survey asks people . how safe they feel, what they

Claret Coco going loco over Man United!
ARTICULATE Barrow parrot Coco has a new text for his soccer “litany”. ‘,‘Who the hell are Man
chester United," chants the red-tailed African grey, once again shrieking sup port for Burnley FC to cus tomers a t Barrow Post Office. The speech coaching is
from Coco’s owner, Burnley FC diehard and village postmaster Mr Dave Wil son. The Wilsons were
delighted when Coco proved to be an excellent mimic. He is unerringly able to
pronounce the names of soccer players from all cor ners of the globe. .
“Up the Clarets” and
• “Come on Burnley” are regular chants, and the lat est one taught by Mr Wil-: son looks forward to victo ry in Tuesday’s Worthing ton cup clash with M!an-
’ Chester United. “I t ’s a pity Coco can’t go
with me to the match,” says Mr Wilson, “but he’ll be supporting from here and is already in a bit of a flap.” The parrot had an Ian
Wright chant when the TV personality played for the Clarets. Now Mr Wilson is wondering what the next club development will be - and how Coco will respond.
