Re: first memory!

Hi tinkerbell. I just found out from your post that your granny and grandad were owners of the New Brewery. Thats the one on the other end of the block from the Royal Oak in Meadow st. I think. In the panorama of Accy that I speak about in the thread 'Coppy torn assunder' you can see the N.B. quite clearly. Just thought I,d let you know

Re: first memory!

to be honest my first memory of accy isnt realy my first memory ..

i moved here in 1981 but in the summer of 81 just 2 months after moving here i was involved in an accident which left me with a 3 month memory loss which i have never got back so my first memory of accy is when i was brought home from the hospital and seeing my brothers waiting for me at our house which to me was the the first tiem i had seen it as far as my memory goes.

from what i have been told i had made friends but i had to go through all the process of getting to know them al over again and luckily they were a honest bunch as they could have said i had borrowed money and i wouldnt have known any better lol

Re: first memory!

Its 15 years since I moved here so cant recall first memories only first impressions and my first impression of accy/hyndburn was and still is that its the most racist place I have ever lived in. In fact it was quite a shock at the time.

We always remember the bad more than the good.. I still think this is a very racist area.. but the good of accy easilly out balances that one bad side and thats why I am happy to live here and bring up my family here... lay down roots and never want to move... Just because I see it as a highly racist area doesn't mean I have to change my values or bring up my children differently.. I can ignore it and work around it...

Nevertheless it stays with me as my first real impression.


OI!!! I was asked and thats my answer...


Sod it.. I had too much karma anyways

What on earth makes you say that?

I've been a northerner in south London, a grockle in Cornwall, and a soft English git in Glasgow. I've found Accy no more racist than anywhere else I've lived, and a lot less so than a lot of places.

Yes but evidence of such a damining statement might back up your argument, though of course you don't have to, it's just that a lot of people here will find your post extremely offensive.

Thank you mate.

That's nice to hear, and rather disproves the statement Kipax posted.
