<Manchester.> A powerhouse of industry for 400 years. The home of two great football teams, Manchesters United and City.

About 20 miles north of Manchester is the town of Burnley.

<BURNLEY> has a strong connection with the alcoholic drink called <BENEDICTINE>.

Sadly, Google has no information about "Burnley Benedictine">.

Tragic.
