| Despite the literary lore attached to the name, this former-coalpit-belt seat seems such a natural for Paddy Tipping and Labour, it's difficult to believe that Tipping only gained it from the Tories in 1992. But with the Friar Tuck-girth poll lead Labour now enjoys, Sherwood's men feel merrie indeed. |
