Angelton, Lancashire politics

[CARLHAYDEN]

Just wondered how many votes are expected to come out of Angleton, Lancashire in the next election, and for which party candidate they will be cast?

Perhaps some of the Brits here could provide an answer.

According to Vision of BRitain, no place of that name exists. (Note: "If you are looking for a place-name, it needs to be the name of a town or village, or possibly a district within a town. We do not know about individual streets or buildings, unless they give their names to a larger area".)
Searching wiki is full of results for James J Angleton, who is obviously not what we're looking for. Also for Angleton, Texas (ditto, and probably named for the surname rather than the enigmatic place). I've seen two results for "Angelton, Lancashire" that actually refer to a locale in Lancashire, both written in German, and both relating to some paranormal locale. But checking those links more closely, they merely referenced two different paranormal stories about pubs/inns on the same page - one referring to a place near Angleton TX, the other rather bloodier one to Chorley in Lancashire.
So, yeah.

There are two places in ENgland called Ingleton though, one of them in the West Riding historically and in North Yorkshire today, but very near the Lancashire border.
Maybe you meant that.

Its a joke.

Check the article in The Telegraph.

Searching for Angleton and the Daily Telegraph gets me right back to James J Angleton. You don't seem to mean the Lancashire Telegraph, either.

Ah. That's a spelling variant that didn't occur to me.

It didn't exactly help that CARL misspelled it in two different ways.  Maybe his joke wouldn't have misfired if he'd paid closer attention to detail.
