Why I Like AccyWeb

[West Ender]

I haven't been a member for very long but I've come to regard this site as very "homely" to me, even though I left Accy (well, West End) in 1962.

I'm a member of 3 other websites. The one in my village is very good, sometimes brilliant and I've made a lot of friends through it, but there are times when people start squabbling and other times when people have been very offensive to other posters. I hate that.

Another local one I'm in, while again it's good, has a very political set of people and what makes it worse is that most of them can't spell.

The 3rd one, in North Yorkshire (I lived there a long, long time ago), is strange - nobody "chats". It's all local issues, though even that is thin on the ground, and if you aren't in the know, forget it.

AccyWeb is a great mixture. There's a big diversity of topics and, on the whole, it's very good humoured. I feel like I'm getting to know a lot of you and it's always interesting to read your views - even if I don't always agree with them. It just goes to prove my theory that us lot from N E Lancs are among the nicest, most tolerant and most humerous people in England. I'm so glad I found this site and, well, I'm afraid you're stuck with me now.
It's your own fault!

I like it too West Ender.....in fact I am unbearable if I don't get my 'fix'.......it is a friendly site....and I feel like I 'know' a lot of the people on here though I have only met Mick in the flesh so to speak.

I agree West Ender. For half my life l didn't live in this the place of my birth. It is the people that make it special, there is a warmth and unique humour to the place.

Things may have changed from when cotton was King here, but thankfully the people haven't. Accy Web reflects that to me. l to regard it as home.

One big family.

Dysfunctional, argumentative, daft sometimes, but ultimately a family.

[WillowTheWhisp]

Yep, I'll go along with that. We may argue about some topics amongst ourselves but woe betide anyone out there in the big bad world if they tried to knock AccyWeb!

Daft, sometimes disfunctional, always supportive and definitely full of variety. Sounds like a perfect family to me.

Blimey Accyweb seems to be getting all loved up and philosophical of late!

Plus, if we are all family, does this make my wedding next year incestuous?

[cashman]

its the COMPANY that counts,even when you disagree with someones opinion,most people acknowledge on here that they are entitled to it. and unlike margaret who can be unbearable if she does'nt get her fix,i can be unbearable in most cicumstances.lol

[WillowTheWhisp]

Well if it does Pixie, Busman and I have already beat you to it!

[harwood red]

well if it's getting your fix of accy web, then I can prove that's the case. As I've just got in from a "do" and couldn't got to bed without getting my "fix", even though I went on earlier when I was at work!! Does that make me a saddo???

[staggeringman]

YOU WOULDNT BE DOWN WELSH WALES BY ANY CHANCE? would you?

[harwood red]

welsh wales??? No I'm in giddy harwood!!

[mez]

just love the fact that great friendships can be made even if you disagree on site, & what a lot of help & information is given out , you just need to ask, & someone or hundreds are there to help you out................ for the accywebbers.

[janet]

Yep! have to agree with everyone i have been on this site 2 years 3 months now and have only missed coming on site once in all that time.

[garinda]

Just rereading my first post about us being a family, l did forget to add loving as well!

Like Mez said too, besides great friendships formed, the help people will give you if you need or ask for it is amazing.

Thanks for addopting me.

[harwood red]

I know this may sound daft but does anyone get the feeling of belonging, when they're either chatting to others on accy web or at a meet???

[mez]

yes very much so, one BIG family
