And yes, everybody in the borough's entitled to their pride in their own town. I was merely pointing out that the name Accrington has a lot more positives going for it than Hyndburn. Can anyone really say they feel pride in the name Hyndburn?[/QUOTE]

And everybody's entitlement to be proud of their borough, like 'Hyndburn', which takes in Oswaldtwistle, Huncoat, Clayton-le-Moors, Baxenden, Rishton and Great Harwood, which was not marketed strongly enough in the first place, so they think by changing it to Accrington then overnight it will become more marketable, do they ?

Just a lazy, albeit expensive, way out, but can't see that it will attract any more 'investment, businesses and retail outlets' (quote Observer) than before. Leave as it is.
