Oh Guinness! Are you inside my head?
That is soooooo what I have been thinking and you have put it into words very eloquently...probably far better than I ever could.
Nail, head, direct thundering hit!

Re: Go away Moss

When I was a teen, I worked on the periphery of the market, in Slingers Cooked meat shop.
Each market day we( the three workers in the shop) would have a competition at guessing from accent where folk came from.
They came from all the close local towns and I could recognise the difference between those from Balckburn, Darwen, Butnley, Bolton, Preston....yes folk actually came from those places to shop on Accrington Market and in our shops.
Yes...I do know that we live in different time, with different shopping habits but this only affects poor markets, poor shopping centres. The ones that make the effort to deliver what the customer wants(good products, pleasant surroundings, personal service etc) are still busy.

The decline of the town is down to wanton disregard of what the town needs.
The personalities and inter party fighting within the council, with the desire to score petty political points, is what brought about these dire consequences.
The people who are implicated,know who they are and should be hanging their heads in shame.

I tell you what, I will withdraw all criticism of this scheme (including the trees),
IF this anonymous body can change their plans and instead of commemorating some dumb mutt, actually put forward a plan to remember what was important, the men that died to enable us to freely come up with such stupid ideas.

Re: Go away Moss

According to Retlaw the dog had nothing to do with the PALS, it was a stray that probably thought it wonderful that so many men were taking it for a walk. Whoever proposed a statue to a dog should have done a modicum of research into the history of the PALS and then they would not have come up with such an idiotic idea.
