Leader Comment May 2019 Yes, here at Leyland Leader we are celebrating our fourteenth anniversary. How that suddenly happened, it’s hard to figure out, but we are where we are, 14 years down the road—and boy, have we walked some roads in that time! Leyland Leader, the Independent Business magazine for Leyland, first hit the streets of PR25 (and later PR26) back in May 2005 and we’ve trod many miles since then. It’s been a great journey, though, we’ve met lots of fascinating people, made lots of friends, upset only a few (!) - and personally delivered more than half a million magazines. We are eternally grateful to the hundreds of businesses, trades, services, individuals and organisations who have supported us along the way. Some local companies have advertised in every issue and we have reached number 169! Back here in 2019, one great community initiative we have got involved in is Radio Leyland, our town’s volunteer-run community radio station. After broadcasting almost exclusively online for around four years, the station launched on 104.8 FM and is now up and running on a daily basis. On April 1, presenter Phil Gough hosted the first live breakfast show, along with Leyland Leader’s Keith Bradshaw, before an audience of invited guests. The Mayor of South Ribble Councillor John Rainsbury cut the ‘imaginary ribbon’ and Radio Leyland had ‘lift-off.’ Radio Leyland is always on the lookout
for volunteers for all kinds of roles, both in front of and behind the microphones. All training is free. The station can be contacted at leylandcommunityradio@gmail.com or via the Radio Leyland Facebook page. The town’s biggest event of the year, of course, is the annual Leyland Festival which this year is taking the theme of ‘Musicals.’ Leyland Festival 2019 promises to be even bigger and more spectacular than ever. Live music will literally take centre stage at this year’s ‘musical’ festival. Already there is much excitement at the news that local star Kevin Simm, winner of The Voice, once of Liberty X and now fronting Wet, Wet Wet is topping the bill. As the month of May unfolds, there’s lots to look forward to enjoy! Keith and Ruth Bradshaw

Restaurant Review with Bangla Spice, Leyland
Did you know that around 90% of ‘Indian’ restaurants in the UK are owned and staffed by people of Bangladeshi origin? You probably didn’t know that one of my favourite expressions of all time is: ‘Let’s go out for an Indian!’ Perhaps it’s time change our thinking on this. Take Bangla Spice, the ever popular ‘curry house’ on Wigan Road, Leyland for example. Both Mujib, the owner, and Malik who, as front of house, has been greeting and serving eager diners in Leyland for over 20 years are Bangladeshi. Both Mujib and Malik originate from the same village in Bangladesh, 1000s of miles from Leyland, though they didn’t know that until Malik transferred his services to Bangla Spice just last year.
But what about the food, I hear you ask! Well, after a recent visit to Bangla Spice, ‘Let’s go out for a Bangladeshi’ is now my current favourite expression. It was everything you would anticipate - and more! Arriving in the blustery throes of Storm Gareth, we received the warmest of welcomes in the plush, modern reception area. Here over the obligatory Kingfisher lager and chilled white wine, we enjoyed scrolling through the most extensive of menus. There must be something to suit
every discerning curry lover here - and, of course, the hardest task is choosing. Step forward Malik, expert menu guide and gourmet guru. With choices made we took our place in the comfortable dining area. Already in waiting was a dish of the lightest, crispest traditional Pappadums with the much anticipated pickle and chutney tray. Always the most delightful way to start your Asian culinary adventure - and so it proved. Our chosen starters, Mixed Kebab and a King Prawn Puri, both family favourites, were equally delicious, beautifully presented and more than generous. The Kebab was a combination of tasty Chicken Tikka pieces, Onion Bhajis and a tandooried minced meat Shish Kebab, garnished with crisp lettuce, tomato and lemon. And the King Prawn Puri? It’s a delicious slice of deep fried unleavened bread with succulent king prawns in a spicy stuffing, plus the aforementioned garnish. To be honest, the starters could have formed the basis of a wonderful main meal. A tactical break was taken at this point. A perfect time to sit back, savour the proceedings and enjoy the wine from Bangla Spice’s extensive list. Wine with curry, it’s often a difficult choice but we got it ‘white’ on the night. We can thoroughly recommend the

‘...tremendous taste and superb value…’ San Giorgio Pinot Grigio from Venezia, Italy. ‘A nicely rounded fresh, crisp easy drinking style, softly perfumed with delicate fresh citrus and tropical fruit flavours.’ Perfect for a wet, windy, Wednesday night on Wigan Road. Suitably rested, it was time to sample two of the Chef’s Signature Dishes, as recommended by our helpful local guide. Two mains, one Pilau Rice (very colourful) and one super-hot (temperature) Plain Nan arrived by trolley and was duly served up. My Chicken Tikka Naga Bahar Special is described as ‘a hot and spicy dish cooked with fresh naga chillies, combined with tomatoes, garlic and onions.’ It was indeed hot and spicy but packed with delicious chicken pieces and wholesome tomatoes. Accompanied by the rice and nan (and the wine and iced water) it was sheer delight. Across the table lay another feast, both for the eyes and the palate. Chicken Tikka Vegetable Korai is medium spiced chicken tikka pieces cooked with a combination of vegetables, seasoned with herbs and spices - superbly tasty but not too hot! Both meals were declared delicious and
duly despatched - almost - portions at the Bangla Spice are not for the faint-hearted but offer tremendous taste and great value. Restaurant reviews usually include a dessert course - the Bangla could certainly oblige, but on this occasion we settled for coffee to end a delightful dining Indian (or Bangla) experience. Bangla Spice offers an online takeaway service for its extensive and highly impressive menu. There is also a fabulous Sunday Buffet from 1-7pm with ‘All you can eat - different menus every week.’ And, as if even more value was needed, there’s a special dine-in menu, £10.95 per guest, every Monday to Thursday until 8pm. We can thoroughly recommend the Bangla Spiced experience.

Transferring ISAs
Money Matters with Greg Heath of Derbyshire Booth Financial Management Ltd
Time to bring your investments together?
If you have accumulated a number of Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs) over the years, keeping them all in one place could give you better control and help you save money. There’s a common misconception that you can’t move your existing ISAs from one provider to another. Transferring your ISAs doesn’t affect its tax-efficient status, but you should make sure that you don’t have to pay penalties or give up valuable benefits. If you want to switch from an existing ISA provider to a new one, you’re perfectly within your rights to do so. Much like a mortgage, you shouldn’t feel as though you’re saddled forever with your first ISA provider choice. Transferring your ISAs could allow you to widen your range of investment choices, as the range on offer can differ between providers. EASIER TO MONITOR AND MANAGE Another reason to switch is that you could find you’re better off because another provider is offering lower fees and charges. You may also want to move because you prefer to keep all your investments conveniently in one place, where they’re easier to monitor and manage. You can transfer your ISA from one provider to another at any time. You can also transfer from one type of ISA to a different type of ISA – for example, you can move money held in a Stocks & Shares ISA into a Cash ISA, or from a Cash ISA to a Stocks & Shares ISA. Similarly, money held in an Innovative Finance ISA can be transferred into a Stocks & Shares ISA or into a Cash ISA. NOT ALL ISA PROVIDERS ACCEPT TRANSFERS Remember that not all ISA providers will accept transfers. Also, bear in mind that the ISA provider you are moving from might charge you for the transfer. If you transfer cash from an existing ISA into a Lifetime ISA, it
will count towards your £4,000 Lifetime ISA allowance for the year and qualify for the government bonus, but will not count towards your overall ISA allowance of £20,000 in 2018/19. It is not advisable to transfer from a Lifetime ISA. Transferring your ISAs won’t affect their tax-efficient status, provided you follow the correct process. You might think that to make a transfer from one ISA to another, you’ll need to close down your existing account, make a withdrawal, then open up a new account and pay in. But closing down your current ISA means you’ll immediately lose all the tax benefits, so never withdraw your savings to pay into a new ISA. ADDITIONAL PERMITTED ISA ALLOWANCE Instead, if you want to make a transfer, we’ll contact your provider to inform them and manage the entire transfer process for you. Remember that tax rules can change in future, and their effect on you will depend on your individual circumstances. If you are looking to transfer ISA tax benefits following the death of your spouse or registered civil partner, the survivor can now inherit their ISA tax benefits. This will be in the form of an additional permitted allowance equal to the value of the ISA at the holder’s death and will be in addition to your own ISA allowance.

Riuscire a Conoscerti Getting to Know You With Franco Lozzi
What motivates you to work hard? Making my business successful. The best motivation is when we get lovely comments from customers.
Luca, Angela, Franco, Francesca
Born: Cetraro, Calabria, Italy Occupation/Business: Owner La Corte Restaurant & Wine Bar Marital Status: Been with my partner Angela for 14 years Family: Lauren 28, Francesca 11, Luca 8 Who is your hero? My Mum, a strong woman who raised 11 children. Now 82 she has many health problems. She worked hard all her life as a seamstress trading her skills for food for the family. She has a heart of gold, I miss her so much - and her cooking! Favourite place to live: You’d think I’d say Italy, but whenever I’m there it’s so hot I want to be back in England. What’s your biggest fear? Flying, I hate it! I have to have a few brandys before I get on an aeroplane. Favourite family vacation: I love cruises. I love waking up in a different place each day. The service and entertainment is amazing. What would you change about yourself? I would like two legs again - ha ha! I’d love to play football with my little boy and run around the restaurant serving customers. What makes you angry? Nothing too much. I’m such a laid back person and life’s too short to be angry.
What’s your favourite thing about your career/accomplishments? Being THE BOSS! (Well, when Angela’s not around). I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved. When I look around La Corte and see customers enjoying themselves, I think ‘Yep, it’s a great place!’ What makes you laugh? I laugh out loud at comedy. I love Mrs Brown’s Boys, Fawlty Towers and Only Fools and Horses. When you were a boy, what did you want to be? A footballer, I was quite good! The local priest set up a football team and in order to play a match on a Sunday you had to be an altar boy for him at the morning Mass. Favourite game or sport, to watch or play? I love watching football, especially my team Juventus. I also enjoy motor racing - the Italian Grand Prix at Monza is my favourite. What would you sing at Karaoke night? Hey Mambo….Mambo Italiano

Getting to Know You Have you ever had a nickname? Foca Foca, it means ‘seal.’ I’m a very good swimmer and once I’m in the sea I dive under the waves and swim along the sea floor like a seal.

Luca, Franco’s Mum, Francesca
What are your hobbies? I love to play cards - poker is my favourite card game. Also, I love watching Britain’s Got Talent and listening to Italian music. If you were a superhero, what powers would you have? Definitely the ability to transport myself. At the click of a finger I could go and see my Mum and family in Italy whenever I wanted. What if you won the National Lottery? I would cruise around the world and share the fortune with family and friends. What’s your favourite zoo animal? I love to watch the monkeys. The are so full of fun and mischief! If you could share a meal with four people, living or dead, who would you choose? Obviously my Mum as I don’t see enough of her. Italian football legend Roberto Baggio, I loved to watch him play back in the day. I’d also bring back to life my Dad and Grandma so I could see them again. I was only 6 years old when she died, I’d love to chat with her and ask her all about her life. What’s your favourite Childhood memory? Selling doughnuts on the beach in my
Cetraro, Calabria, Southern Italy
how lucky I am after losing my leg. I’ve got a beautiful family and my own restaurant - life can’t get any better! What three items would you take on a desert island? Water. A fishing net, I love fishing. And my phone so I could still take La Corte bookings! Favourite school subjects: I loved Mathematics and Cooking. What was your first job? Apart from selling doughnuts on the beach, I worked at a big hotel in the town. I was a waiter and we served 750 people every evening, it was amazing. Then, after working all day, we used to go to the disco! One thing you’ll never do again: I’d like to say fly - but I know Angela will insist I do it as she loves going on holiday. What are you most looking forward to in the future? Relaxing! I’ve worked all my life and it’s non-stop running a restaurant. Ha ha! I’m so happy now and hope to be as happy in the future. I wish for a healthy, happy life for my family and me.

In the Garden
A monthly gardening column with Debbie Noblett from The Plant Stall, Leyland Market Spring has passed us by and now we can look forward to a glorious Summer of growing (hopefully). Last year we had a scorcher so annual bedding plants did really well, the problem was keeping them watered. To try and conserve water you can collect run off water from gutters into a water butt. If you're thinking of buying bedding plants, remember there is a possibility of early morning frost until the end of May, so protect them if a frost is forecast. If you have weeds in your borders, now is a good time to remove them by lifting them out. If they grow, mature and seed you will have many more to remove in years to come, the saying one year’s seeding, seven years’ weeding, is bob on for being correct.
pets and wildlife, you can buy pet friendly ones, but here is a remedy which works 100%, and isn’t harmful to wildlife, it doesn’t kill them but leaves them as tasty treats for hedgehogs, frogs, birds etc. The ground will now be warm, it’s a good Mix two cloves of crushed garlic with two time to dig it over, add some organic pints of water.
